Thank you UWE, for your input, I am lucky that Pamela and I have worked very hard in our life just up to when we could not go any further, then we get screwed with all the red tape and differences between where we lived the first half of our time to where we hope to finish our time. All we have got is ours, house, 2 cars and my Drag Star, we said that if push came to shove in France you could live on bread, cheese and wine, but we never take into account ill health and other stupid things like glasses and teeth which in France are classed as a lux not needed so the state dont help in a field which is already overpriced.
I am getting of the subject, ( sorry ). After readind UWE's input about the price of cams I was happy that he linked me to the German site of the French site where my cam cost only 49.99 euro, it was shown as a sports cam and after I solved the fixing problem and my first test all seems OK. I will get round to posting some roads round us, i am happy with the image but the sound is another mater as the microphone on the cam is underneath so it picks up a lot of wind rush round by the bars, but for the money I know have something else to play with and keep me busy during the day.
If anybody has got or has used the " Eagle 100 by Sumikon " I would like your input on this little cam as I am shure that I could do with some pointers although all you got to do is battery, sd card, switch on, choose quality and start and its away, maybe my AA's are too low powered or my SD card is too small or not of the right type, only somebody like you can help.
Enough of this rambling I will let you get back to something more interesting, like like like oh well you know better than me, I am lucky no one can come round and break my keyboard but if you think about it I am about 9 hours from the UK ( ferry included ) and about the same time from the only CCC member that I know of in France and she likes chinese food, so my rambling is safe for the moment.
I am open to all suggestions that could be repeated to a sober parish priest.

Widespread but only partial news coverage was given recently to a remarkable editorial broadcast from Toronto by Gordon Sinclair, a Canadian television commentator. What follows is the full text of his trenchant remarks as printed in the Congressional Record:

Saturday morning, we rolled out from Flying J's in Ripon CA, heading west to the frist stop of the day 96 miles away, I alone knowing where and what we are going to see.
Our group, Myself and Heather, Jerry, Kyle and Brooke, Richard, and Jimmy with his daughter Brittany. Missing from the group is Kenny (bearkiller) I will post his story soon.
Our stop is The Military Vehicle Technology Foundation, one of the largest and most significant collections of historical military vehicles in the world. The goal is to acquire, restore, and interpret the historical significance of 20th and 21st century military vehicles. Domestic and foreign combat vehicles such as tanks, armored cars, self-propelled artillery, and other technically interesting mobile platforms are the focus of the collection. They also maintain an extensive technical library that describes many vehicles down to the part level. Aside from the vehicles, there are towed artillery, antitank, and antiaircraft guns. Military support equipment, inert ordnance, and accessories round out the collection.
There are over 200 vehicles in the Foundation's collection, many of them exceedingly rare. The Military Vehicle Technology Foundation is proud to have in its collection one of the rarest armored vehicles in the world, a fully restored Panther Ausf. A. Only 28 Panthers are known to have survived the war, in conditions ranging from wrecks to fully restored. The MVTF Panther will be one of the six Panthers in running condition.
Sept 19th 2009 Ride to Military Vehicle Technology Foundation
This Panther is just 1 of 28 left in the world, and it is only 1 of about 4 restored back to factory new.
This tank was on the show Tank Overhaul on discovery military channel, Episode 2: PzKpfw V Panther. It was rescued from the bottom of a river in Poland for over 40 years, where it had been literally blown to pieces.

It may be tough trying to type in english for me to understand, but I think u do a wonderfull job of it, sorry to say I have never learned any other languages. MY family is German and Polish, and they many years ago let the language die by not teaching my father or my mother, to give them a better shot at being American with out an accent. they never spoke anything but english, I believe it to be my lose, but I understand why they did it.
Let's see if I can get back into some peoples good graces again.
Yesterday I bought a "bark collar" for my dog. She's gotten into the habit lately at liking the sound of her own voice and barks just to get attention. She's a German Shepherd and has a pretty hefty bark that really aggravates after awhile.
Anyway, I took the collar to work to punch some more holes into it and of course had a number of people come over to snoop, I mean, have a look. One of those people is someone I had thought of as a very intelligent man. He works in Quality control and inspects parts that go into our airplanes(we build Beavers and Twin Otters). He actually put the thing around his neck and made barking noises, then said, there's nothing to this. I took it back, put the batteries in and turned it on, to maximum!!! He again put it around his neck, smiled and barked, well, sort of barked, it came out as BBBBBBB, next thing you know he was clutching his neck, crying and blubbering something very, very quietly. We figured out that his hands were shaking too much to undo the collar and when he tried to ask for help, he got zapped again. It's interesting to see a grown man cry, he didn't sob, just tears, sobbing got him zapped again!! It took two of us to get the collar off him, mainly because we couldn't stop laughing long enough to undo the buckle.
He came back to work today and was writting notes to people for anything work related. We asked what was wrong, maybe a bit cynically and he only wrote to letters on the notes, one being an O. Seems his throat is too sore to talk and he has two little, ittzy, bitzy marks on his neck, looks like electrical burns to me.
He did write a note to his boss, seems that it is my fault his throat is sore, If I hadn't taken the collar to work, none of it would have happened.
You can't fix stupid...
P.S, I took the collar back to the store, couldn't do that to my dog.
WELL, I was having trouble with the make of the Bike in the picture, My father had thought it was a Harley, but I could not get past the engine design. This is when I learned some Harley History, I DID NOT KNOW. And I cant blame them, same story as the JEEP.
Turns out During WWII, The Army asked Harley to produce a motorcycle as good as the BMW's side valve R71. So Harley copied the BMW, simply converting metric measurements to inches, and produced the shaft-drive 750cc 1942 Harley-Davidson XA. Even though about 1,000 were made, the bike never saw service. The shaft drive was copied after another BMW model, the R75, used by the German Army.
23HP, with throttle on left bar and hand clutch on right side. Interesting stuff, even more neat that I have a pic of one in the family album. To bad I dont have the bike in the garage.
