THE MICROLAND THREAD..."Home of the Tailwinds"

[Bundy]

There are times where two will be very beneficial. The lectures have been a bit quiet lately with only 12 -20 present. When we hit the 30-35 mark as we did in the first two...believe me we will need two braai's

My vote remains to buy this one...and repair/make another to compliment it.

With the braai sorted we can set our sights on the bigger goal of building a covered braai area alongside the lapa.

Agreed. Braaiing on a big braai for a small number of people means the heat will be lost on the sides of the small fire. We will always have the need to braai for a small number of people and then the smaller truck rim braai will be my choice. The tank spares braai can be fixed in the mean time to serve as the big braai. The problem with the relic is because it is open on the sides the wind blows the heat away. The truck rim braai keeps the heat in.

Stef, does the Hokaai truck rim braai have an ash tray/drawer underneath, like yours? Can't see from the picture.

What happened about our Tailwinds badge?

As the braai master i agree, Stefs braai worked very well on saturday!
If we can get one of those i think we should!

Go for it!

"Ons gaan nou braai!"

I have been looking all over for the rim braai with the ash tray, but they don’t seem to make it that way anymore. The rim braai we can get for R 900 has not got an ash tray. I don’t think it is a train smash though, Johannes cleans the braai for us in any case.

[Bundy]

So it is decided then....

...I will go and purchase the Braai tommorrow. Will be ready for use on Sat. I will also be buying a short chain and padlock so we can chain it to the Lapa poles!

What happened about our Tailwinds badge?

Hmmm.... I do recall asking you all numerous times on page (Fu#$ knows) to design a few alternates and submit for voting.......but....nada.

Here is the design I had made...and I still like my farting vlakvark.
Perhaps just a little colour on his wings would be nice?

[mulderpm]

Yip, I also submitted some, but the point is, we never voted for which one. We also need more ideas before we vote.

[mulderpm]

See page 57 for my sugestions

[Bundy]

Yip...those were the only ones as far as I can remember.

Waar is al die ander TW se idees???

Julle is Kaksleg!

[Blue Max]

Julle manne, wie so spekuleer oor die braai moet asb net onthou dat daar n paar 'country members ' is wie ook n se het in hierdie saak.!
So hou asb in gedagte dat die braai moet beslis groot genog wees vir ten minste drie van Asteerix se skaap ribbetjies wat gereeld gratis deur hom verskaf word..
Dan moet julle asb ook nie vergeet om hom (en vir my) uit te nooi vir die geleentheid waartydens die braai in gewy word nie.!
Dankie,

[ME 109]

Bundy, I'm super chuffed that the braai weekend for July was moved to 27 July I'm back in SA on the 25Th July and will deliver the potato salad and chocolate cake personally
The "flying vlakvark" badge gets my vote
To every one joining the Barberton trip, enjoy! Wish I was there

En wanneer was julle NIE na n Tailwinds braai uitgenooi nie? Almal is altyd welkom Oom Paul...Topless Cobra drivers too!

Believe me...die braai sal vir daai skaap ribbetjies lekker lag. Next Braai is July 27th. (I just hope I can make it )

Oom Paula, jy maak my nou baia hartseer. ...waneer was jy nie uitgenooi nie he! ....Die braai is elke 3rde Saterdag van die maand, ongeag die weer. As dit bots met iets anders, dan stel ons dit uit tot die volgende naweek...maar braai gaan ons braai. Ons sal die nuwe braai inwy op die 27ste Julie. Wees daar asseblief. Ek het jou trike Maandag in die hangar gesien maar jy was nie daar nie. Nogal n' kontrepsie wat jy daar op jou agterste sitplek vir die in flight re-fueling het.

Andries, uitsteekend dat jy dit kan maak. As jy daai goeters sal bring sal Dionne en ek weer vir die groen slaai sorg. Bundy en Stef sal seker die vuurmaak goed verskaf.

For the badge, we need more suggestions...come on guys and girls...rack those braines..you must have some ideas. Just draw your idea and post it here or bring it to the 27th braai. There is no such thing as a bad suggestion...what is bad, is no suggestion.

[Bundy]

Jissie..... ek het nou net n lekker NUWE braai vir myself gekoop....baie dankie julle!!



NOU GAAN ONS BRAAI!



Will deliver it to ML on Sat boys...The braai will be chained to a pole under the lapa to protect it from the elements. ( rain, hail, sun and nationalisation agents)

I will put a combination lock on it and the code will be sent to you all to save on your phones....you can then unlock and use the braai whenever you wish.

Well done all....our first "club" purchase.
