more Olympics

The comment made today was ‘I do not know what day of the week it is. No seriously, I do not know what day of the week this is…. This is saturday isn’t it?’. Yeah, I felt the same way. Found out my boss had given away my power tools since he thought he had bought them… He is working on getting them back. I should have told him to replace them, with boshe or something…

Time trials was un-eventful… I had not much to do. At lunch I went to UNSW to pick up a microwave receiver that we needed… It was only worth A$18,000! and is the size of 10 computer disks. It is worth more than my car. At one stage I had to take A$50,000 of them.

A few days ago I heard a horror story about Atlanta and the mens marathon. The rumors goes that the cloud dropped right down, so the chopper was flying at 200 feet above ground level – through the middle of Atlanta. 200 feet is about 20 stories up… Imagine looking out the window of an office building and seeing a helicopter BELOW!!!!

2UE Helo

There are stories going round about 2UE helicopter pilot David Jones. I have worked on his helo, and he seems very nice… I have heard of 2MMM people thanking him on air for joy flights… and there is a report of he and his wife hosting USA track stars in their $4.5 Million home… This I would believe – he is fairly quiet and takes a lot of pride in his helo.
