Zombies

Just a bit of fun walking behind a zombie

 

And a sneak up on the zombie factory

Random feet moments

Just a few random moments with my feet

Flowers growing in the cracks of pavement – beautiful and amazing tenacity.

 

I’m so pretty….

 

This one really brings back memories as I’m sitting on a roller chair that is rolling on a suspended floor that has electronic and electrical cabling underneath – oh, and the room is full of computerized stuff and I’m sitting while the technicians repair a recalcitrant transmitter…

I get around

And I get around to some pretty cool places…

Bringing Mellow Yellow home

Zombie facility #27

A trip almost gone badly wrong…

Thanks to a set of “borrowed maps from the base I headed out last night to find Facility #27, the zombie equivalent of of Roswell that is as secretive as Area 51.

It exists, it’s still used and – and the emergency refuge bunkers are still ready to go, stocked with food, water and an incredible arsenal of shotguns, automatic rifles and even a Gideon Bible…

 

The ultra high temperature zombie elimination furnaces are also used, and furnace #6 was still hot when I snooped around last night.

 

Then the problems started…

Why I do it

Sailing, achievement, freedom and a smile on their faces…

 

There are currently 64 Liberty being sailed in eleven countries. Twenty percent longer than the 303 but the same width makes the Liberty a very fast and high pointing sailing dinghy. The Liberty is indeed a totally accessible performance craft which anyone can sail, regardless of ability.

The high coamings and wide side decks keep the boat dry even at extreme angles of heel and the two high aspect rudder blades ensure directional stability. We do however recommend the “C” Crane and Keel Caddie for handling Liberty keels which weigh 70Kg.

The Liberty has two rudders because, being a single seater with the sailor possibly strapped in on the centreline, the boat has to be free to heel to extremes and still maintain directional stability. This is achieved as the Liberty heels, the canted leeward rudder digs in and becomes more efficient.

 

With a deep ballasted keel and all control systems right in front of you, the Martin 16 is the sport boat for sailors of all abilities. The lifting keel makes trailer launching simple from any ramp. There’s no need for a large crew — the Martin 16 can be rigged by one person and sailing in minutes.

 

The Access 2.3 Wide can be sailed sedately by two average sized adults, or as a sporty little racer by a single sailor. The sailor’s weight low in the boat enhances stability, but the Wide having narrow side decks needs the solo sailor to swivel their upper body weight to windward to keep the boat dry in breezy conditions.

When displeased by poor sailing technique or tactics the Evil Musical Monkey will glare at you in a stern manner, grit his teeth and bang his cymbals together.
