Bruce Pearson Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I only had 4months. I had an around the world airline ticket. Back in those days Pan Am had two flights around the world every day Pan Am one in Pan Am two. I only use the tickets when I had no other way to travel. When I got to London I bought a motorcycle and toured England Scotland and Wales. Then I stored the Motorcycle in French went back to England and flew to Norway and Sweden. When I got back to France and picked up my motorcycle I wrecked it in Belgium. From there I started hitchhiking. Met a bunch of great people and had a wonderful time. If you guys would like I could post a few pictures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like to say this but that was before I was born! Did you have digital cameras back then or did you get your photos digitised? Either way, that was a rather rude way of saying, yes, please post some pictures!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Pearson Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Tekobo most of the pictures are black and white. Back in “the olden days“ it was film cameras. I had a really nice Polaroid camera at the time but I gave it to some wonderful people I stayed with in London. Now most of my pictures are in an album no digitizing back then. I’ll pick out a few of the most interesting ones and post them. After giving my camera to those folks I just used the old Kodak cardboard disposable cameras. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pearson Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Here are a few pictures I took of my trip. Sorry about the Resolution I had to take pictures of the pictures LOL. These first two are of a aqua duct in Spain, that thing was really high. The second is me crossing it. The lady I was with was fearless she ran along just one side like it was nothing, after she took the picture I got back in the water. The next one is a nice shot of the Sphinx and the pyramid. The next one is picture you don’t see to much of the sphinx it’s the back side. That next picture was taken in Spain of an old Roman amp a theater. The next one is a picture of emperor Khufu‘s Sarcophagus it’s in the largest of the Pytamids I don’t think the public is allowed inside anymore,but back in those days I was lucky. The last photo is one of my favorites, if you look closely I am standing on the top of the pyramid with my arms outstretched. This is a step pyramid and the third largest at this site. There was a fox living on the pyramid. Actually you are not allowed to climb the pyramids but I cheated and did it anyway. Hope you like them . 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 That’s awesome Bruce! I look at the aqua duct and think I would totally run across that thing. Then I scrolled back to the first picture and thought not a chance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Pearson Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Alas that was a long time ago I think I was 23. It seems the older I get the faster time goes by, I know its not possible but it’seems like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tekobo Posted May 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I promised to do a comparison of my KKs loaded up with chickens. Here it is, using relatively small 1.5kg chickens. There is no way I am ever going to cook this many chickens in one go but I hope it is a helpful illustration. 21" Main grate only four chickens. 23" main grate only 5 chickens 21" main and top grates with one fewer chickens on the lower grate to fit them all in brings the total to 6 chickens. I am not sure this would work because there is practically no clearance between the top of the chickens on the main grate and the bottom of the top grate. And finally, the 23" main and top grates with one fewer chickens on the lower grate to fit them all in brings the total to 7 chickens. Might be able to squeeze in an 8th on the main grate. Enough clearance over the top of the chickens to make this feasible. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
