    Lawn Dart Difficult. With a big D.

    I just saw this post from a while ago... I'm still waiting on your book - what was it? "Things You Should Tell a Fella" ? - Something about fuel capacity and weight of a particular airplane at takeoff?

    Ha! Yea, the working title was always “Things you Oughta Tell a Fella”. And the story you remember was a reference to a guy telling me “ Everybody knows you can’t take off a Piper Pacer with less than half a tank of fuel!” After nearly killing myself, My response was “No! Everybody doesn’t! There are things you oughta tell a fella!”...

    Strange reading this thread again and seeing that Grayghost posting. Hope he accomplished everything important before he passed.

    I’d like to raise enough money with our annual fundraiser to buy a mile of air fence.

    Ticked one off my list too
    I was able to get out of my job and switch careers into something much less flashy but safer, steadier, pays better, and working hard = advancement
    I can see a future where I can provide for my family, put future kids through school, and hopefully one day full fill the dream of owning or owning a piece of an airplane.

    Had to call 911 for the first time today though. Wife was in a pretty nasty car accident but not bad enough to go to the hospital and when we got home she passed out I think from the shock, pain, anxiety etc. I realized I was out of my element and called in the good guys to the house.

    First responders are some amazing people and I am thankful for them today:flag:

    You know what I want to accomplish? I want to go to Hawaii and see the active lave fields and . . . pee on it. I want to piss on hot lava.

    Well that has to be very easy to accomplish......like we could do it next week by cashing in miles.
     
  17. I can only think of 2 things I want to do that I haven’t done already, and that is one of them. I want to ride East till I get to the ocean, then head West till I get to the other one.

    My job would easily allow me to do that since I get a month off at a time, I just haven’t bitten the bullet yet.

    The other one is to race an entire race season (start to finish, making every round on the SE and/or National schedule).

    Unfortunately, my job makes that one impossible.

    I’ll be damned if I can recall which thread it was in. Maybe a month or two ago. Like any of them, it was a bit shocking to see. Always seemed like a good dude.
