So much for staying out of the limelight!ORIGINAL: Dixie
Afternoon chaps [:)]
Yesterday was the official end to the flying season, so now it's time for winter maintenance which also means more time for sorting PBEM turns. So if Simon or Per are still looking for a game I'm open to offers.
As an aside, yesterday was also the day where next year's photo was taken for the BBMF brochure. I also found out that I need to write a little piece about myself because they're putting my mug in there for some reason [X(]

I saw a girl over the weekend with pink hair. Not usually my thing, and so many times before it looked crappy. It actually worked on this chick.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
