Much better, only got a tiny red mark where it is still healing!
Once the stitches came out it was fine since I got full use of my arm back, the stitches tended to pull if I reached too far or at the wrong angle.

Probably won't even have a good scar to show for it :p
And you know how we all dig scars ..... ;)

Scars and being a handy man I hope. Just completed the very technical and challenging task of changing my bike's rear light bulb.
It was touch and go at times but I think Sam will be impressed when she gets home!

I'll expect pics Dan!

Enjoy :rockon:

Nothing overly exciting to share :( It was a very very lacklustre display & I was very disgusted :spank: If that was a capablity display to show that the Super Hornet is better than the Mighty F-111 then we will be in serious trouble if something happens :eek:

The Super Hornet is shorter range , slower & has less firepower :shakehead: They only thing it does better than the Pig is fight its way out of trouble & the Pig was never ment to do that :thumbup: The F-111 was half way home before the emeny knew what hit it :rockon:

But from what I have read the F111 is considered to be at retirement age and parts are thin on the ground therefore expen$ive. Would rather something capable of flying than a few tons of steel falling from the sky.

As long as it lands on the enemy and we can recover the pilots with other craft that should be ok right?

All this aside I think its unlikely we will need aircraft capable of aggressive strikes, while aircraft that can be launched from that carrier they are buying, even with shorter range will probably be more flexible.

Thought I'd post a pic of the Healtech GI Pro gear indicator Mike bought me.

Installed on the dash - very small and non-intrusive.

Hey Kazza, installed my healtech gear indicator this arvo, thanks for the tips from earlier this year 'bout how quick n easy it would be. I read a few other posts as well as the instructions a few times. It was altogether too easy, and looking at the pic you posted, its almost like Yam thought the space should be left just for the indicator, perfect spot for it isn't it? Hey the Stebel horn is working really well too, worth its weight in gold!!!:D

I think I saw God !!!! :eyebrow:....... Well today while riding to work a pulled up behind a CL65 AMG :drool: at a set of lights near Dutton Park cemetary (for the Brisbanites) when I happened to glance at the number plate , it read........... DOOHAN :eek: The windows were very dark tint & I couldnt get a great look inside but the driver was not overly tall & they had a female passenger but thats basically all I could see as they turned right & I went straight ahead..... What do you reckon ?? Did I see GOD or was it just a poser :don'tknow:... If the plate was on a CBR or something I would definately say it was some try hard poser but being an AMG (which fits the Mick paycheck) im thinking nobody else would really get it :D... So with that im saying...

I SAW GOD , I SAW GOD :BLAA: :BLAA: :BLAA:

I've heard a story a few times back in his Gp days when he was buying a Merc that he specified 'don't you dare order personalised plates'. Can appreciate why.

You know what his generic issue plates were....

The letters were DGB, the initials of his then World Title rival Daz Beattie!

Apparently it didn't go down too well at the dealership...............................
