Helicopter 1 Me 0

Well despite the forecast, it turned out a pretty nice day, mostly sunny around 80F.

Lyn headed off to do the laundry while I had the dubious pleasure of washing out the black water (toilet waste!) tank. Actually nowhere as bad as it sounds, I just pull a handle and let it all run out so to speak. Don’t panic the tank is connected via a long pipe to a sewer receptacle. We’re lucky with this trailer as all I have to do when the tank is empty is to connect a hosepipe to an outside connection to flush out the tank with a high pressure spray. The older models required sticking the hosepipe down the toilet to flush out the tank. Just what you all wanted to know.

After lunch it was time to go fly the helicopter, this was a mistake! All that needs to be said is that blood was lost and new parts for the helicopter are on order.

Other than that a quiet day doing very little. The new WiFi gizzmo is doing very well, we have a much better connection, and don’t have to worry about the bandwidth as we did with the 3G USB stick. Skype is still an issue, and I am beginning to think that the campground may have some sort of block on it.
