Hi - I saw this on face-boo. Figured I should pass it on.

FRIDAY'S LAUGH OF THE DAY!
Qantas Airlines: Repair Division
Remember, it takes a college degree to fly a plane but only a high school diploma to fix one.
After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form, called a 'Gripe Sheet' which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft.
The mechanics correct the problems; document their repairs on the form, and then pilots review the Gripe Sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humour.
Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by Qantas' pilots (marked with a P) and the solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers.
By the way, Qantas is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident.
P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent.
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny............ (I love this one!)
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
And the best one for last..................
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

Who knows what "V" I have sketched here ?

I used a web-cam, Screenpresso and XnSketch for this one.

I've been hitting the GIMP manual hard for a few days and just needed to take a break.
I've been hitting the GIMP manual hard for a few days and just needed to take a break. This is the entrance to Hidden Hollow. It's a run down, old school, local family attraction with a bazillion or so photo ops. I ran it through XnSketch and tweaked it in FastStone. Maybe I should do a "project" and call it The Bridges of Putnam County.

Regarding my "Hair" comment on the Arto post: I meant that I liked what the app did to your hair...
Yes, yes I do think you are quite beautiful. I think I remember seeing a picture of you with some people or something somewhere and though something like OMG - she's even hotter than I imagined or something like that.
I would like to think that I have better manners though than to go tossing about personal comments about you. Also - there's the whole "respect" thing and I think that"s sort of a big deal. I have a lot of respect for your photography and think you're a great artist.
So anyway - have a great weekend stuff.
