If Alan stops floating around France, then hopefully the end of November.
I now need to buy some speaker cable.

Why ?

My speaker cable is currently about 9" long. It won't reach my speakers when the new amp arrives.

:) What you thinking about Kevin . I've been mucking around with speaker cables for the last few weeks . Last night I put the Cable Talk 3 back in and it's probably staying in my system for the foreseeable future . :)

Cable Talk 3.1, Van Damme 2.5mm or something similar.
(I might have some of the above tucked away in a box somewhere).

Spill the beans Grant :)

Remember I made a set of big black snakes, well I'm gonna make some blue ones now with a few adaptions and little longer I think. Not cheap to make but the ones I have in at moment I like the sound of so want to see if I can do better.

Pictures from yesterday, it was a bit cooler so had to have all the gear on, flying suit, two pairs of socks etc.

Our house:

No I jest, I couldn't afford the heating bill let alone anything else. It is the nearest traditional looking Chateau, 'Chateau de la Garde'.

Interesting patterns in the landscape, shot from about 800 feet:

We are within the Brenne National Park, the land of 1000 lakes:

Another large house/chateau outside one of the local towns:

Lastly this on does show our house, right in the middle of the shot:

You don't fancy a jet powered wing then?

Firebottle

Couldn't afford that either, plus the endurance is a bit short per flight :)
