Today's leg of #round-australia-clockwise Port Lincoln [YPLC] to Ceduna [YCDU]. Uneventful, the oil temp sender is obviously working a little better, fuel planning has to be better as we landed with less than 10 minutes of fuel remaining.

This is INSIDE my dwelling, in the kitchen. Doors & windows are open, there is NO BREEZE and I'm hiding out in the #flightsim room where a ceiling fan and desk fan are both flat out! Doesn't help much that I'm sitting next to a high-end graphics computer but it's cooler here than anywhere else

I've yearned for this dessert for a loooong time. My previous wife didn't like cheesecake, in fact she didn't like practically any food that I liked. Now that I can please myself, I do, as often as possible. Yes, it's baked.

Facehugger, mainly because it reminds me of this depiction of the early phase of the Prometheus Xenomorph. Kind of apt name as well, facehugger.

Seagulls Incorporated flew tonight in an "arrive-on-time" challenge. Using big jets, pick a departure, minimum 1 hr from a stated destination, lodge a flightplan & arrive as close to an appointed time as possible. I flew 2.5hrs from SPTU (PERU) to SBCY(BRAZIL) & missed winning by 3 minutes. Bugger!

Never EVER believe anything you see, read or hear in the various media outlets. Do your own research, make sure you are properly informed. You won't be if you trust mainstream media outlets. Like the bullshit claim that Australia participating in the JSF program is arming Israel. Utter garbage.
