Gees! Lachy,
You certainly know how to knock the Wind out of ones SailsNo I was just being a Shiite!
Ron
Sorry, didn't mean to discourage the s**t stiring
I was a bit worried, I want to see that yacht out sailing not up in storage.
Not really in storage, just conveniently up so the Car can get in the garage. I have 3 vehicles in the one garage space now. Mind you the Tardis is a bit crowded with the front end of the cat in there. Just hope it doesn't hit a black hole during the night or we will all be in the C**p.
Ron
there must be a wild secret spider web up in the attic to keep all those lines pulling together. My car hasn't seen the inside of my garage for years.

Yeah! Blake
We do have some pretty nasty critters here in Aus', If they ain't the deadliest then they go awful near. Taipans, King Brown Snakes, Funnel Web Spiders. Down here in Tas' we have an Ant called the Jumping Jack. Nasty little bugger, one or two may well give you something to think about but a whole plethora of them might send a victim into Prophylaxis Shock and death. There are Inchman Ants which also really nasty, I have an allergic reaction to these sods, a bad swelling extending out from the Sting. They come in both a Red/Brown or Blue/Black color and are aggressive, offend them and they will actively hunt for you.(I **** you Not) Blue Bottles are another nasty. They look like an Ant are a Shiny Metallic Blue in color with Red/Orange Legs and Pincers and have their Sting in their Tail. These are a Wingless Wasp and get around in a aggressive jerky action with their Tails in the air ready to strike if you upset them. I have stood on them a couple of times and copped it in the Arch of the Foot-------------YEEEOuch! Don't half make you hope.
As yet I don't know of any Spiders that use Braided Ropes for Webs but there are a couple up North that perhaps should, they catch and eat small birds. Their Webs are a wonderful thing to walk into at night, sticky things that hang onto you as you try to run backwards away from them. A Tad Off Putting to say the least.[}:)][}:)]

Ok! Getting Past the Above Foolishness
HIKO has posted a picture of his Kiddies Mini in the Mini Register and it's sentiment is great however I was just looking at the picture more carefully. This subject may have been bought up before.. The Steering method and given the Child,s position and the thought occurred to me; What if the Mini hits a tree or solid object? I should imagine a very expensive Medical and Dental Bill would ensue.
It also occurred to me and I will create a Foot Steering in the same vane. What if we take the Extension shown in the picture, remove the upper Hand Steering. We then take the "Mast Step", "Step Around" and Angle it down a tad and then add a Foot Steering set up. This alteration hopefully make the Child go Supine and take any collisions through legs and Bent Knees also leaving both hands free to control the Sheet.
Given that alteration one could have several methods of Steering for the one Mini! Hmm Aha
HIKO this is by no means a Sneer at your Mini but suggested improvement for safety.
Ron
In our original mini the mast step was offset so that the steering was in a straight line hand steer(a cheap version of a blokart). Later versions got rid of mast step braces hand steering and offset mast.
Thanks TP1
That is good to know, as it is only a few hours since HIKO posted that and I was concerned. Not only that it triggered my thinking as to how I can get around the problem of Short Legged People Unlike Great Long Legged Beasts like yourself and My Little Boy Travis of 6'6" For him I will probably have to fit Schrodinger's Cat with Steering Pegs on the Front Fork

Ok. HIKO,
I will apologies for the suggested time error. I have to be doing something wrong somewhere as a few times now I have, I believe, clicked on a subject with a recent time and that time shows up differently and I'd swear that.. Anyway TP1 told me that the system isn't used anymore.. Fair Cop there.
I wasn't Jibing you but suggesting a Step Around for foot steering Seems that someone has Been There Done That!. Most little people grow into big people but some do not. With this in mind I can adapt the Cat to be adjusted accordingly.
Ron
No apologies necessary its all good discussion Good chance to update the thoughts as it were
Have to say you've probably done more and learnt more in a short time than most that have played with these landyachts
Played PLAYED!!! HIKO I don't play with anything I treat it like my life depended on it Thanks for the complement.
I have found that with communication we all learn and Information belongs to no one person, it belongs to anyone who chooses to read and use it. There is only one prerequisite-------Communicate.
