Knowing how John hates winter I just wanted him to know it ain't all peaches and cream here either. The pool has only gotten into the 8o's twice so far this year.

G'day Rob,
I'll be thinking of you blokes when it snows over there.
I'm getting sick of scraping frost of windscreens.
If you can find a spot to stay out of the wind the days are pretty glorious, sunny and max of between 14 and 20c, but that bloody wind is lazy.Regards

+12.1C (low fifties) here tonight. Up in the mountains some lakes are still mostly covered with ice. No problem with too hot water! ;-)Ivar ("treslakter" - read as "woodbutcher")

BTW guys these views of Lake Chaplain is the West channel Between Valcour Island and NY. It is also the exact site of the first American Naval battle. The green American fleet under the command of Benedict Arnold got it's butt kicked by the British under General Schylur
They quit the fight at sun down to be finished in the morning. Not wanting to over do on a good thing left during the night. Ben scuttled a couple badly damaged gun boats off what is now Schylur Island, six miles south of the battle sight. Pressing on the Brits caught the fleet at Split Rock took the boats and put everyone ashore and the walked back to Fort Ticonderoga at the tips of Lake Champlain and Lake George.
If you use Google earth search Valcour Island
Sorry for running on and please watch your step as you disembark.
Thank you for using Tour by Oily
As a side note. notice the signage on the boat launch. I think it doubles as an evolution reversal water entry point.Last edited by oily; 07-10-2012, 08:21 PM.May the wind at you back .....

Plenty of homes for sale. the average price in Kalgoorlie is about $350,000.
I have had to scrape ice of windscreens for the past 5 mornings. Come on Autumn, a glorious time of year and a chance for me to thaw outRegards

Oh the agony!!! Pool water only 90, while the air temperature only 92. Far too cold to go swimming here...Over to Myrtle Beach in late February, went wading on the beach until my feet turned blue--about 3 seconds. There was a group further up the beach swimming--those were the Canadians. On the darker side, I lived in New York State, about 20 miles from the shores of Lake Erie, where the snow flies 11 1/2 out of 12 months, for 60 years. I wasn't born in the south, but I got here as quick as I could!Manufacturer Of Heirloom Quality Sawdust

by JimernI dropped my subscription long ago, so maybe I should not chime in, but I dropped it mostly due to the pattern pull out.
I do not have a flat bed scanner, nor do I want one, so that is my issue.
But the result is that if I cut a pattern to scan, I have also cut the parts of...-

by Quartz43+1 on NC Scroller's suggestions. I would add that on appropriate patterns stop using the grey as it would make it easier to copy.
It says a lot if Fox Publishing does not comment on an issue like this. Even if they said they are aware that people have concerns and are looking into it...-
