You wonder why every time you see these big experiments why there is a airport very nearby (theres one basically next door to it:blush. Mabey its the LHC we should enter to the no rules class at the new battlebots.:-)
Friday night about 9.30pm Zach & Lukes dog ran out into the road and got hit by a car and ran. When it ran it didnt stop so we were out looking for it until about midnight.
Got up at 6.00am on Saturday, printed off a load of posters and set off sticking them up everywhere people would notice them. Entrances to the park, and en-route between the park and home. Spent until 10.00 out with Zach looking for him. Went and had breakfast and then went and had breakfast. Dabbled with Hydra and then went out to have another look. About 3.00, 4000 people turned up to watch Barnet at the football club everyone parking all over the area were hit and after about 10minutes I realised everyone coming in had seen the signs.........nothing.
This morning I was taking Zach to Games Day at Birmingham NEC so turned up at 8.00am and there on the doorstep was the dog!! Obviously injured but hed got there (avoiding just about eveybody in the Barnet area cos after our efforts Saturday morning I thin only the agraphobic in Barnet didnt know he was missing). Busted back leg, so off to the vetinary hospital. Hospital was closed so off to my mums to find one that was. Persuaded Mum to take dog to vets and set off to Birmingham.
Quite a good day and relatively good news on the dog whilst en-route but he does need to go back for some xrays just to be sure.
Anyway, you may think why is this nutter rambling on like this!! well, I did say Id do a bit of testing on the DX6i, DX5e and the AR500 receiver. Its just a note to say I havent done it but I have a good excuse!
Good luck to the poor woofie ! The kittie-cats here are purring for his speedy recovery.
And Im just glad you got him back safe and more or less sound.
Well I failed two out of my five resits and was set to be excluded from uni pending an appeal.
I appealed and was successful and can now progress to third year while carrying over the subjects that I failed this time round.
Thanks to everyone who posted/offered advice (I think it was all in Swannys thread) about uni being worthwhile and to stick at it if I still had the motivation for it, which I discovered I do, so many thanksies
Just over a week and a half now till Rebel Robots, will be good to catch up with a lot of you again.
