Off to an aviation seminar this afternoon. See if I want to blow th dust off my pilot license.

I went to ground school, but never got my license. I know how to fly though. I have never landed, but flown a Cessna 172 and a Beech Bonanza a few times. I love it!
 
One hour for registration, five minutes for the draw.
Actually, I think it was less than five minutes.

We recently found a place nearby that so far has no wait and the people who work there are highly skilled. It's at the local hospital!
 
Watching Formula One qualifying in Melbourne.
Cars look awesome this year, they sound better too.
Still miss the V10 engines though.
 
The engines used to be 3 litre V10 naturally aspirated that nudged up against 20,000 RPM and produced over 800 HP.
Now they are 1.6 litre V6 engines limited to 15,000 RPM.
They also have electric motor assist on both the crankshaft and on the turbocharger, a crazy hybrid system, and produce nearly the same power while consuming much less fuel.
Amazing, but the shriek of the old motors was way cool.

I'm still stuck on the 3 liter formula of the late 60s.
