Slight diversion I know chaps & chapesses....
However, TRUE STORY... (Really)
Many moons ago.....
Early morning departure from Kalgoorlie in WA to Warburton Range community WA. Nice 2.5 hour flight.
Filled thermos with boiling water / black coffee with sugar / from urn in Kal FSU, jumped in trusty old C210 and on departure climbed to A100 where the sunrise was beeaaudiful. Trimmed out, ah, coffee time...
Put thermos between knees, opened same, and, "AH SH**T - the bloody thing BOILED AGAIN!!
Not much room to 'dance in' but did manage to 'control' most of overflow.
And, yes it DID hurt.
No, I never noticed the continuing sunrise.
With the o/head air vents - generous in the '210', managed to cool 'things' down...
Reduced pressure at A100 you idiot!!!
No real damage, had s o m e coffee, and now possess new thermos with a valve and 'cupped' top.
(Mrs 'G' still loved me...)
Moral of the story??
'Things' go better with Coke!!! (Sorry, couldn't resist that one...)
Cheers...
