On Board Oddities & Activities: Unusual Airplane Terminology

June 26, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

I was recently on a Qantas flight between Adelaide and Brisbane in Australia when I had a moment of inspiration upon exiting the bathroom. I opened my door at the same time as the bathroom directly across from me at the same time the flight attendants pushed a cart by. We all hit each other simultaneously. I thought to myself, there has got to be a word for this. Why not make up some words and definitions incorporating some humor out of all … [Read more...]

In the foggy haze of nonstop travel for the past few days I looked around. I was in a small room. I noticed the window. It was high up the wall, not in a normal spot for a window. I glanced at the blinking red light. It was 4am. But there was plenty of outside light in the room. There was … [Read more...]

Gold Mining and a Visit to Minelab’s Headquarters, Adelaide South Australia

June 18, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

One of my passions is gold prospecting, or as it is referred to in Australia, Fossicking. It is a healthy hobby as long as you don't get to obsessed with making money from it! I can remember going out with my father from a young age to explore some of his favorite mining terrain in the foothills of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains.

Testing out the Can Am Spyder RT-S on California’s Open Roads

June 13, 2014 by DaveLeave a Comment

As I rode through the California foothills on a late Spring day it certainly felt very summer like. Warm temperatures and the wonderful smell of dry grass baking in the sunshine greeted me as I made my way up to Brentwood, California to test out a new Can Am Spyder Model RT-S. In the early morning I rode past all the windmills that dot this part of California enjoying the fact there wasn't yet that much traffic around. As I rode through the … [Read more...]
