We haven't even started on the shed atm, as he seems to be have been preparing for WW3 or the next pandemic lol.
The local Presbyterian Mission is going to well lol.

Don't know what everyone was doing back in Sept 99?
But this Bloke was about to jump off back of C130 into Dili about 0400 in 15 Sept or there about (memory is a bit hazzle nowadays) just 2wks after completing 2/99 RAAF ADG Basic Cse.
And the rest was History.

TACOS own Strait of HorMoose, what a total Muppet 😆
Every ship entering the Great Lakes goes through the Welland Canal, located fully in Canada. There’s no other option. $26.3 billion of US trade depends on it. Would be a shame if tolls skyrocketed or it was transit-taxed heavily…
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Looks like the Dutch might be in a spot bother come winter time, looking at the size of these cracks in dyke network as their water network dries up causing the dykes to dry out a Crack.
Makes you wonder what sort of a summer Australia, NZ & the Sth Pacific is going to have atm?
A severe drought is causing cracks in Dutch dykes, threatening flood protection. Authorities have banned irrigation water use, putting the country’s major greenhouse industry at risk.

Wonder if this happens at Woodbourne NZ being NZ's only Joint Military/ Civil Airport 🤣🤣
Military time.
There is an airport where the military and civilians share a runway called RAF Northolt in west London. A plane was taxiing, and the pilot called the tower to ask for the current time of day.
The tower responded with a question: "Are you civilian or military, and if military, what branch?"
The pilot asked why they needed that information.
The tower responded:
“If you are civilian, it's 3 PM. If you are Air Force, it is 1500 hours.
If you are Navy, it is 6 bells of the afternoon watch. If you are Army, the little hand is on the 3, and the big hand is on the 12.
If you are a Marine, it's Thursday afternoon.”
🤣🤣🤣
