The Guy in Pink

Even 70mb per pic the resolution will not be enough to read the disk as the area of the picture is 20m2 of road and the disk 4cm x 5cm . You are left with 7kb of info over the disc . A 7kb file is not enogh to provide the resolution needed to read anything. Try it - reduce a picture to 7kb and see what you have. Urban myth.

I really feel for you guys. You really have to work at it to try and make decent trails. I am sooo spoilt - these are just some of the hundreds of trails, paths, tracks, single tracks through bush, plantation forest, indigenous forest that we in Louis Trichardt have on our doorstep. The make spans west to west 30kmn of our ever changing mountain, with my house marked with a green marker in the middle.

I see it does not include the remote. It may be better to go for the black edition which has the remote and more mounts.

Not such a rip off. The kindle fire is sold by Amazon at about $10.00 less than the cost of making it. This is because the know that throughout its life you are going to buy books and stuff from them. I just use my laptop charger which has two USB charging ports for charging my kindle.

You may be right. The back ground looks like it could well be Lake Kivu, with the bike at Kamembe in Rwanda looking towards Bakavu in the DRC across the lake. The roads around Kamembe have recently been rebuilt and were looking very spiff and clean when I landed at Kamembe on Saturday on my way to Bakavu.

Marsie is only 7 months old but twice swam out to the intake tower with me. I did not ask her to follow - when she saw me in the water she just leapt in . This was the first time she has swam and she did about a total of 250m powerful swimming on her first day in the water. No one took any picture of it unfortunately, so this one has to give the scale of things. .

To celebrate the end of my 7 weeks of treatment we went to a picnic in Thate Vondo Forest. This is at the top of the Huhohohohovu waterfall below the sacred forest lake(its a dam actually) Marsie , TGIP and bubbles.

She is a Champion gardener !

Time for an update picture on Marsie, our rescue pup who waylaid me when I was on the bike in Roodewal forest on 26th July. The first picture was taken on that evening when we got her home, still in the car, and the second to-day almost 5 months later . The happy face is obvious in the second picture.

I am working in the DRC so I get reminded every day when I am there that in the lottery of life,that for me and everyone I know, the wheels of fortune came up all sevens.

The drive side will probaly only need a sharp tap on the off side shaft with a plastic mallet.

No. You will still pay the VAT on 110% of the value and the admin fee

15.4% + R30 for bike components

Fire, I have just given you the same as I gave you for the last trip. Have fun!

OK Donation done !

Rusty, I sent you an email earlier, but if you don't get it, pm me account details.

Rusty, Several of us assisted Fire, and I will make a donation to you & Jean. However THERE IS NO WAY i will pay the assistance to CSA as your letter from them demands. I will email you .

Hot?

And I thought: Hey they want someone for the buzzard rescue centre here;

I doubt it very much . The Jock will never be a real mass participation event with 20 000 participants, as it is a stage race requiring a full day, even for the Elite riders - Start 7am and Finish 4pm. Most riders will require 2 nights accommodation in the area. Availability of accommodation a the cost thereof will always limit participation. The event also requires a lot of local input, like the co-operation of 3 municipalities and 4 traffic departments, something that only locals with their contacts will get right.

Of course like all young ones she is always up to some mischief. Kath left her in the bedroom while she went out on a short errand and arrived home to this mess. Marsie was not there to welcome Kathy, but was soon discovered hiding under the bed with "Guilty" written all over here face.

It has been 6 weeks since I found Marsie in Roodeval Forest plantation and she has grown somewhat. The first picture is when she arrived home in the boot of the car covered in 1000's of ticks. The second is Marsie this week.

I will try to get some photos after lunch. Riaan is planting Power line poles on the mountain to-day.

Here is another stray rescue animal - this one was again my fault. I spotted the old dog on the N1 near the Adams Apple hotel whilst training one day. The next day we had a club race on the Airforce base road and whilst dashing out to put the turn cones spotted her again about 4km from the original sighting. She was in a bad way having obviously spend some time wandering the roads without food or water. I told the wife when I got back to the race start with her in the boot "We will clean her up , give her a few meals and take her to the SPCA on Monday" - she stayed about 3 years before old age took her. (So when Marsie arrived 4 weeks ago I got messages from all the farflung kids: " Just Clean her up and give her a few meals.") Again Before and After pictures.
