I have been existing on light beer for the last 10 days.. gives me constant buzz but leave my mouth taste like a week old sock.. I cant wait to go back to the Great Land of Oz... So there.. I am testy!!! dont tempt me

Gelan...never thought I'd hear you complain about having to drink beer mate.

Bit testy eh mate....

Cheers, Vince

Sounds like paradise to me...As long as I could throw in a shot or two of whiskey for good measure....

Testy? I thought that was your normal nature.

Vince and Bushy ol mates,
If I drink beer in Aussie, it is usually for pleasure..
Here, I drink them for survival, local public toilet are so yucky and scary (even in an office) that I wont accept any risk of having stomach upset.

For the first few days, yes it is great, but after a week and a half of weak light beer for breakfast, lunch and dinner (I even brush my teeth with beer rinse) you start to feel a bit iffy..

I long for coffee the way my percolator made with my blend of real Indonesian Java.
I long for the great sweet smell of Aussie air (even in the city)
And most of all.. I long for she who must be obeyed..
Aint I a romantic..

*sigh*

Back to you Vince...I'm afraid to touch this one as it might ruin Australian/American relations...

Checked Chrony's web site and they sell an interface to go from the chronograph to a PC so I'm betting they won't give anyone a pin out. Should be easy to figure out though.

Sorry gelandangan,,,,

I thought you could have it done in 3hrs,,,,,jk...

Thats ok Semper.

I was thinking of doing it anyway, your comment just telling me that this effort wont go in vain.

BTW, I haven't been welcoming you to the site, so Welcome mate!
Grab a stump and sit on a beer.. err.. wozzitagain? hum.. ah grab Vince's beer and sit on a stump .. yeah thats it..

That's cool Semper old mate....I got plenty...more than enough to go around.

After we get a bit p1$$y we'll look at roasting a "gelan" on a spit over the fire. Long pig I think they call it.

Cheers, Vince

I ain't comin' to your house for breakfast...

Not breakfast mate...a quick snack with a few beers.

Cheers, Vince

Gelan & Mike,

You'll have fun with this chrony > PC thing. It's like going back 20 yrs in computer history.

Enjoy
