Another pretty good day. Got the mowing done, flew the drone, made a dump run, enjoyed my IP chicken soup, spent quality time with the love of my life, and the invite out for our Spring potluck in April.
Life is good.

Good morning. I will catch up on TBN later when the rain comes, this morning I would like to get out while it's still dry and I'm still many pages behind.

Anyone else think that cars are getting a little too over protective ? This Subaru is the first car I've had with an electric parking brake and yesterday it fooled me when I needed to move out of the way of a tractor while I was in a friend's farmyard. It insisted I either put the seat belt back on, or return the selector back to park, press the brake pedal and press the manual parking release switch before allowing me to reverse a few yards. I suppose I will soon get used to it and fortunately all the detail is there in the manuals, it's just that there is so much of it to read, let alone remember.

A short while after I first passed my driving test, my new girlfriend's father lent me his car to take her out. When he gave me the keys I thought how kind and trusting of him. Only later did I realise it was probably another test. The forward gears were smooth enough, although selection of a couple did seem more to luck than the position of the gear stick. Reverse was something else completely. It took me what felt like a lifetime to feel my way through to the elusive gear. I feared I would have to ask my lovely young passenger to give me a push. My shirt was drenched with sweat by the time I returned the car and from then on I was always wary of borrowing it again, particularly as he often parked it facing downhill, close up to a neighbours car. His daughter was in much better working order - we got married 4 years after we first met.

RNG, as an Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy fan, you may like to know that the BBC are playing a new series called the Hexagonal Phase that follows on from Douglas Adam's last book. It has most of the original radio cast, so that in itself makes it sound like a time warp...

But some years later, when I was a lieutenant, Commander of the Helicopter Section, a well known TV newsman showed up at my office, with his camera man, and said he was there for me to have a helicopter take them up to get some aerial photos. I told him I couldn't do that, so he said he'd talked to my boss, an assistant chief, and the chief said I'd take them up. So I called that assistant chief, and he assured me that newsman had NOT contacted him. So the newsman left without saying another word.

That guy deserved to be "arrested" for fraud or something and shown some hospitality at the jail house for a little while.
