Yikes!!!!! Venus in a 'copter?!?!?!? You better put her in a carrier.....not just a harness and leash! You don't want her escaping up there and making a leap for freedom....or, worse yet, a leap onto the lap of the pilot!

Looks like Venus will be getting her first helicopter ride next week!! I been helping out a friend with a R-22 and he plans on visiting the vinyard next week. I'll get a pic of Venus in the cockpit.I'll be holding her as there are lots of parts in whirley birds going in different directions!!Would not want her chasing anything.

I thought you might like that....she was totally posing!

nice shot of Venus walking the missle

I have owned a lot of cats....a couple that even liked to go hiking. However, the idea to take a cat in any kind of boat never crossed my mind! You MUST post some pics of this adventure....

I posted a pic on the Casini thread earlier!! Yesterday she went for her first kayak ride.She was in the Alert One mode to say the least. guess I'll have to rejoin the forum to post more pics.

hi Tim....I was reading the Jackson Rancheria thread....and, I noticed all these dog avatars seemed to dominate! And, since I have spent the past week photographing the cutest puppy ever born , I decided to change my avatar for the first time in 5 years!

Maybe it's time for Venus to make her presence known on the AirForums...

so dog avatars are the new thing huh, actually your puppy is cuter than their puppies.

OMG.....you're right.....$90 for the SVEA 123! I wonder if they are still made in Sweden I believe I actually paid $12.50 for the stove (in 1975, I think, at a surplus store in San Rafael), and my boyfriend had one of the more expensive ($20-something) Optimus 8R stoves.

I went looking to see if I still had mine....I found the stacking cookware thing I kept it in, along with a small pump I bought to pressurize it without pouring white gas all over the stove, then lighting it. My husband is a "tosser" and I am a "keeper." Unfortunately, he tosses MY STUFF! I would love to get it working.....now that I am retired and have the time to reeeeally take it apart and mess with it....but, looks like that's not happening!

Cheers
