Pre-season Stuff

I was meant to go skiing today but we called it off because all the wx sites suggested it would be fairly average....how wrong they were...bodgery is term that comes to mind.
SO...with time on my hands I headed off to get a WoF for the Trailer.
I learnt that the tyres were different sizes...and had been that way for at least the last 5 years...suddenly it was a big issue...these chaps who issue pronoucements on the state of your vehicle do make you chuckle from time to time. Whilst taking a trailer in for a WoF is a waste of time and frustrating...try taking a truck in...

But the other more exciting news in my new gadget arrived. A PNA with SeeYou loaded as well as LK8000...with a screen significantly brighter than an Oudie. Thanks to Jerry from Canterbury.
Actually Navitar are going to carefully think about their long term strategy...while the Mobile software is quite cool...so are the free versions like XCSoar and LK8000.
Not only that but the PNA they are promoting (the Oudie) has been surpassed. A new business model is required.
However credit where credits due...the SoaringSpot site is very useful...as is  the contest scoring software...the trick will be delivering this while still making money from the basic PC and Mobile based software. I don't understand this stuff but something doesn't add up.

I'm clearly struggling for content at present but there are signs that that's about to change.
