Stupid boy pike!  :lol:  :razz: Roly

Speaking of stupid boys Roly, I am in that very situation at the moment. You may remember earlier this year I slipped and ripped the tendons in my right arm trying to stop myself landing on my a**e. Well I've done it AGAIN, only this time it's my left arm which copped it. Tore all the muscles in my forearm. Out with the kids on their bikes and one of the little blighters decided to launch himself into the road, (fortunately a cul de sac), and I grabbed the back of the bike to stop him. OOOOOH YA,( I'm being polite). Painful to say the least!!!. The wee monkeys had a great laugh at my expense, bless them. So my left arm is now wrapped up like an outside toilet tap. No more washing dishes for a good few weeks, or anything else for that matter, including scrolling. I can't even hold a cup!!!. I have been JINXED since I got that scroll saw. Ah well, at least I didn't pay for it. :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Yeah go on, you have a laugh too Roly.

Actually, there is SOME logic here.  Our youngest son is a Senior Engineer for American Airlines.  A few years ago, we were at an airshow.  2 fighter jets came from opposite directions & met right in front of the crowd.  I asked how the heck they can time that.  He said that the pilot "tells" the planes' computer to have the plane at a certain spot at a certain time.  The pilot just sits back and watches.

 

In battle, our planes & missiles keep track of each others location and trajectory. This is to prevent our missiles from shooting down our own planes.  Neat technology.
