    I spent 8 years growing up on a farm. I had 2 cows to milk each morning before breakfast then go to school. It was a daily routine for me but something I loved. On frosty winter mornings I would dip my hands in the warm milk to warm them up. Being a sheep farm we had a good supply of meat.

     

    Sounds great to me Patrick, I always had a love for the land. Closest I got was ten acres out side of Brisbane Wivenhoe way.  Three horses and two dogs. We had four young boys then, who loved the freedom to wander and play Huckleberry Flynn. We had a dairy farm adjoining with a heap of cows and a few sheep, so they got to experience a bit of the good country life. Wonderful memories. The worst part was it had to end, as the boys grew up they needed the metro area to further their education and find jobs. I still browse through our photo collection every so often and relive that part of our past.

    I have found LMv5 a pain in the arse.   Can't install Orbx.  I'm in a race to still be here when Microsoft comes out.

     

    Hopefully all will be good Macca, you know the saying only the good die young, and don't know about you, but I'm young until I hit 90, got a few years to go:) Besides I'm   not classified as "good", so  I'll probably make 100, but in the world as it, I'm not sure I want to last that long.

  4. Well guess I have to own up to it too - I turned 80 on the 8th of this month. My Happy Birthday present was my HD crashed - bah! I really don't give a rats about the crash, it will be fixed, my big complaint is I cant fly until it is. I read these posts and think  how lucky I am to be in such great company.
