Thread: Pipe of the Day

Tomi,

the last days we watched a TV-series about the people and regions around the Baltic Sea...including Finland. It was very interesting to learn more about our "neighbourhood". Nice place to live their, but cold. Thanks for sharing this cooking recipes...

Good to hear. I guess i've seen that same serie too. If so, that was very interesting.
Of course it's always to see the places personally. Germany is maybe the only country bordering Baltic Sea that i haven't been. I'm working on it.

Nowadays we have lot of foreign tourists here. Of what i know, some are interested in our winters, some about nature and just get fascinated by the country where not too much people around.
Things that those tourists like so much are not necessary always so nice when you have to live with them around the year.

As you know, you're always welcome, Tomi!

Just sit outside with a ten gauge with #4 buckshot on the night of the 24th and see if you can bag one.

A bowl of Pyranese in the Ferndown (Les Wood) Really enjoying this pipe

I'm opting for the Sauteed reindeer with mashed spud and lingonberries m'self. We got a fella here in Denver what runs an exotic hotdog cart. The Reindeer dogs are the best with sauteed onions and a little creamcheese......I bet even a finnish hedgehog would love one. Now I think I want one...hmmm a trip downtown to the hot dog cart and then the tobbacco shop for a smoke on the pipe meebee !

We use the UHF frequencys for that stuff here. Moved away from the 27 mhz some years back now. In the outback it's HF if you want to call in the RFD (Royal Flying Doctors) in the event of an accident. They're like a remote area ambulance that service vast areas of dust and flies. They also do house calls to check on people who are sick. Can't get that sort of thing in the cities anymore. Smart person that thought up:

The RFDS began as the dream of the Rev John Flynn, a minister with the Presbyterian Church. He witnessed the daily struggle of pioneers living in remote areas where just two doctors provided the only medical care for an area of almost 2 million square kilometres. Flynn’s vision was to provide a ‘mantle of safety’ for these people and on 15 May 1928, his dream had become a reality with the opening of the Australian Inland Mission Aerial Medical Service (later renamed the Royal Flying Doctor Service) in Cloncurry, Queensland...

Queensland

Although the RFDS began in Queensland, The Queensland Section was not registered in its own right until 1939. The Cloncurry base remained operational until 1964 when it was relocated to Mt Isa.,,Today, we own a fleet of 53 fully instrumented aircraft with the very latest in navigation technology. We operate 21 bases across Australia. Our pilots annually fly the equivalent of 25 round trips to the moon and our doctors and flight nurses are responsible for the care of nearly 270,000 patients! We’ve come a long way from that first flight in 1928 which saw the Flying Doctor airborne at last.

Sorry for going off topic there. Now back to our regular programming...

Thanks Mick, very helpful.
In Europe you can use your mobile phone everywhere...we have no outback.
Jeepers mostly have a CB, they use it on the trails in order to communicate with their buddys.
You can also do offroad-training...there are some places here. The CB works very well in such cases.
We still planning a trip to Iceland too with a friend trough the highlands.
I think our themes are not off-topic, we learn a lot of things...
