SW Bulgaria, stone throw from Greek border. In black sea map I flew over my house and had to make an official complain as the roof was wrong color. I also wanted to drop a bomb into my neighbors chimney as (based on stink) they warm the house by burning wet leaves in old rubber boots wrapped in roofing felt, but there was no chimney.

I'm living here under a status of climate refugee as Finnish winter is too long and harsh for my bones. Those who live in NE US or Canada know what it can be.

Post by: GasTeddy on December 19, 2023, 01:28:52 PM: Snow is rare here in this river valley I live, but at mountains we have it every winter. There are several ski slopes around for those who want to break their leg that way, I prefer more summerish methods like my motorbike.

Post by: Spikes on December 30, 2023, 09:11:34 AM: Thanks all for flying! Apologies for the odd logs. When I started them it started two logs, one for each side, so I ended them after Hour 1 and thankfully the Hour 2 logs are normal. :cheers:
