    You only need two tools in life:
    Duct tape if it moves and it shouldn't.
    WD-40 if it doesn't move and it should.


    Brute force and ignorance always prevails.
    Failure comes from too little brute force, or
    too little ignorance.

    I spend more time fishing than riding these days and the Ducati might have to go on the market as a result. Apparently a man can have too many toys!

    finding a bad guy has found out where you live, after threatening to rape your wife and daughter.

    finding threatening/offensive mail hand delivered in your letterbox

    3 years later still not being ble to have a listed ph number, or be on the published roll

    oh they're still there. did 5 hours yesterday in the 206, and a couple this week IFR in the aztec, so are happily building up time, not to mention are 1/4 way through an instructors rating.

    not really thinking about going back - for the reasons above, and also cause i just like working at the airport, not to mention i have worked pretty hard in the last 3 years to get to where i am now.

    Re the "I smell bacon" comments - if I'm feeliing childish I reply 'and I smell shit"..has caused a bit of consternation from time to time..

    But most of the time my soft-hearted nature just makes me look at them in the pitying way they deserve.
