Gwnn,
Good thing you defined 'cask' because here it's a 55 gallon drum. Thats a LOT of wine my friend...

Too bad this was not four years ago Andy because my wife and the family spent 35 days in Oahu for a business trip.

Now my wife wants to go to Australia!

Go figure!

Well Joe, Timing is everything.

Well Joe, Timing is everything.

Good one, I think your right!

Now let me work this out.

Gwyn's sim hobby - Total expenditure over 4 years = AUD$8,400 that's AUD$40.38 per week. Estimated value now of the sim is now approximately AUD$20,000 and I won't mention the Airbus TQ sales that have recovered every cent of the primary investment!

Diana's hobby (wine) 2.5 casks per week at AUD$15/cask = AUD$37.50 per week. Total expenditure over 4 years for just over 1.4 metric tonnes of white wine = AUD$7,650 (cask = 2 litre cardboard wine container) Estimated value now - I'm not sure of the scrap value of cardboard but it must be lots these days.

A balanced relationship if ever there was one. Now then what shall I buy next?

Now you all know why NOTHING gets done around here! He's either in the sim or spending ages on extremely complex sums to JUSTIFY that thing that lurks in what used to be a beautiful music studio which I carefully painted for him....meanwhile his other very important hobby is the TV which needs to be watched A LOT coz there's cars going round in circles and footballers running around a field...in desperation what do I turn to???? You've got it - MY CASK!!! A small price to pay for sanity.

On the subject of saving money...my philosophy is if I save $20 on a pair of shoes I have bought in the sales that immediately frees up $20 to spend on something else coz I SAVED it.....now surely you boys can see the logic in that?

What's wrong with your shoes from the 80's, mine are all still good. Maybe you should put your feet up more often like I do and stop wearing them out!

Joe, I'll meet Barbi 1/2 way and we'll visit Di together

[Matt Olieman]

I've been wondering .... Would there be any Flight-Sim building discussions at this meeting? Or are we all going out to buy $58 shoes?
