This place is for creative inspiration, and this may be creative inspiration of a different kind, but I want you to get on board. Please donate to this one, please...

CONNIE’S NEW WORLD RECORD ATTEMPT!

Around the campfire please Villagers? My sister is no longer stable and the breast cancer is attacking her liver now. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but action in the liver can lead to a quick deterioration. Whilst Con still has plenty of healthy liver tissue, it has brought everything sharply into focus for me. She’s been stable for so long and I stupidly started to take her good health for granted. I feel like a complete idiot. So here’s what I’m thinking...

When our donations slowed to almost nothing last year (while I was off playing Molly and whatnot) I implored Connie to help me raise enough money to help get Love Your Sister back on track. I had never hassled her to help me with the actual fundraising component before, but I begged her to pick a number and shoot for it (I remember saying “Pick any number. Just make it higher than $100,000.”)

She came back to me the next day. She decided she wanted to BREAK HER OWN WORLD RECORD! One to match mine. Man, have I got an epic sister. She had caught wind of the 5 cent coin being phased out and decided that she wanted to break the record for longest line of coins. That’s right! The current record stands at 75.4kms and is held by a town in Austria.

So we have teamed up with our good friends at Questacon, Royal Australian Mint and The National Institute of Measurement (no s**t!) and we’re going to break the record in Connie’s home city of Canberra, so she can be there. This was planned for next year some time, but since the stupid cancer decided to hold a riot in Connie’s liver I feel compelled to fast-track it to right now. If she starts seeing it and feeling it now, then it’ll lift her spirits, which have taken a beating.

So I’ve set up an impromptu link. We need 4 million five cent coins. The treasurer estimates that there’s $37 of coins in each household in Australia and I’m asking you for them, straight up. The mint will convert your doughies into 5 cent coins for us (12 x 44 gallon drums full) but we need to raise $195,775.05. When I met with the gang at The Mint they mentioned that they’d been keen to break the record for some time but hadn’t found a group capable of it. If anyone can, it’s us, right? If we can show The Mint that we’re for real, I’d almost be bold enough to ask for a limited edition Love Your Sister coin. The odds of this actually happening are very slim, as they do very few limited edition runs, but I refuse let go of my dream of gifting Connie with the ultimate keepsake, not just for breaking the world record, but for all the hard work she’s done since she got sick.

That’s the dream. It was going to happen next year but I’m making it now. Here’s a link we’re you can chuck in as many metres as you can (1 metre = $2.90). The Mint will change them into five centers for us. Get your metres here: www.loveyoursister.ecwid.com

Creativity is all around us and doesn't need to be the next new fangled gadget. Thank you to my beautiful daughter for putting this together. It's a shame I like chocolate too much to leave it intact. Happy Father's Day to all you awesome dads out there.

We all need a good chuckle at this time of year and this just did it for me...

After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.

Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:

P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit

P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.

P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.

P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Simple, clever design. Well done.
