That is just pure beauty. I have never been skiing, but I would give it a shot. Not sure I would do well though.

How far away are you from Vegas? Garth Brooks just signed a deal to play there on weekends for the next 5 years... may have to see him again, he is one hell of a performer.

It's about 450 miles, but only an hour by airplane. :)

450 miles?? Wow I didn't realize it was that far away. That is like 4 1/2 hours to drive... yikes. Plane ride would definitely be in order.

75 miles per hour? How about 8 hours - only because you drive through many very small towns where you have to slow down to 25.

As perviously stated, I think I would rather just fly. :D

Tell the truth, KC. You're just looking for another "mile high" membership.

Come fly with me, let's fly let's fly away
If you can use, some exotic booze
There's a bar in far bombay
Come fly with me, we'll fly we'll fly away

One word - Gulfstream

Hi... Bye

Good morning to all, thought I'd get in early today ;)

I am completely wrecked... went to a local show today... you know, the kind with rides and sideshow games...
It was awful, so so crowded and overpriced... the ground was just slop because it rained yesterday... we did one circuit and left, didn't even buy anything.
Got some Subway for lunch (Chicken fillet, yum!) then got stuck into some gardening...
2 Hours of solid whipper snippering later and we gave up and retreated back inside.

I'm so sore :(

Good Morning Shaz. Sounds like a rough day. The best part being Subway. I don't know if that is saying much. Haha. How are you now?

Whipper snippering in the garden?

Get my mind out of the gutter, please tell me what that entails.

Hello Cats. I was curious too.

Hi Adam, maybe it's just that Shaz is so cute, but I get all sorts of weird visuals from that phrase.

Yes, why are almost all the girls here so pretty? Just seems weird, but I like it.

Haha... hmmm must be an Australian term!
And thanks Cats :D

They have this plastic stuff like thick fishing line that spins around at the base and cuts grass/weeds.

I don't know what you call them there but here's a picture...

Here in the States a brand name has become generic for those things. Like Kleenex and Band-aids before it, string trimmers are usually referred to as Weed-eaters.

As for the thank you, you ARE cute and I AM kinky, so live with it.

They call them weedeaters here in the US

Looks like the 1101 model. I went with the name brand, as the Craftsman and B & D ones I've had before burned out on my fence in just a couple of seasons. The yellow sucker's going strong after four.

Lol Adam, I have no idea.. I googled whipper snipper and that was the smallest picture :D

We have a petrol one... bargain $99 :D

Cool, I now know to refer to them as weed-eaters on AMHD ;)

Edit - Sorry GASOLINE not petrol :p

Filament? Like fishing line? That's how they got started, I think, but hooking a wahoo on weedwhacker(satisfied, String?) line would be impossible. Be fun to watch somebody else try.

Betcha' its on YouTube
