So, pretty much like guys who brag about getting laid.

My first flight was in a Western Airlines DC-3 in 1957. First ride in a GA airplane was in a Gullwing Stinson in 1964. The first airplane I flew was a C-150, which I later soloed, in 1970. Mark

My airplane may be ugly, but it sure is slow.

I call BS. No way can the vanity plate "TRACTOR" still be available in KS. ;) Mark

I'm a homebrewer, so my drink of choice is beer. There are times, like after a big meal, when the carbs and calories in a pint of real beer aren't wanted or needed, that something else is appropriate. I find most bourbons too sweet for my taste. I've come to keeping Bulleit on the shelf...

Currently own a Piper Colt. Previously owned a Cherokee 180, before that a 172. Mark

How about taxing all the stuff that people can't live without that is delivered by truck? WalMart is one of the largest trucking companies in the US. We only ship stuff by rail in bulk quantities between major centers. Once the stuff is off the rail it's in a big truck, headed for a Wally...

This is the only Volvo I've ever owned. It recently turned 800K miles and is the most comfortable big truck I've ever driven. The truck doesn't have a Volvo drivetrain, though. Cummins N-14 (435 hp) and Eaton transmission and drive axles. Mark

Is that Docmirror waving in the first pic? Mark

I'm self employed. My boss is a jerk. Mark

Tonight, clam chowder and homebrew (Porter). Tomorrow, the traditional turkey dinner. Bread dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, sweet potatoes, a vegetable side dish that we call "the green stuff", and some kind of fruit salad. For dessert, a choice of apple pie or Kahlua cheesecake. Or...

Dave Bahnson. I don't think he wastes time is a member here, though. Mark

If you're willing to look a little farther west, Billings, MT could be a possibility. Two 141 schools (complete your training and possible employment) and two regional medical centers which could employ your wife. There's a diverse enough economy to provide IT work as well (financial...

I knew a guy, a friend of my father, actually, who did fly past his destination and become lost. This happened >45 years ago, he didn't fall asleep, and it wasn't dark. He did manage to fly almost 100 miles past his destination, though. Today, this person would probably be considered...

I've owned, or been a partner in, half a dozen airport cars over the years. The best one, by far, was a '73 Ford LTD. Four of us threw in $200 apiece to buy it and we kept it at GTF from 1980 until the early '90s. Big car, comfortable, dead nuts reliable and the AC worked. Mark

Do you need help? Well, you have a pretty good story outline. If you can develop the characters and construct a plot which will hold the reader's attention I think you could have a pretty good short story or novella. Hell, you might even turn it into a screenplay for a Lifetime flick. Good...

I use a metal winds aloft calculator. Doesn't everyone? Mark

Riding with Tony Condon in Kim Pardon's Bird Dog. Mark

Actually, there are quite a few. Unfortunately, for the prospective buyer, those are almost never the ones which are for sale. ;) Mark
