Back from Texas...my friend Ricky is a moron....

Well we got back from Texas safely and tucked the Cessna away after another 1,200 mile flight. Its been a long week to say the least.

We did get a surprise when the taxi dropped us off here at our condo, the engine hoist that my friend Ricky borrowed over the weekend was chained the the handle on the garage door with a bike chain and lock. That didn't surprise me too much, other than the fact that he brought it back in under a year's time, what surprised me is that it was still there. Ever the mental giant, Ricky left a note taped to the hoist saying and I quote..."Hey Mike, here's your gadget back, the key to the bike lock is is taped on the bottom of it". That's like leaving an engraved invitation to a thief, honestly he wasn't this dumb in high school, maybe the four ex-wives are taking a toll on his brain.

Well anyway, to keep this sort of on topic, I did fire up Paddy and Boo Boo so I could pull them out of the garage to put the engine hoist back where it belongs. Maybe I'll see my trans jack, engine stand, and jack stands before the holidays.

He's a nice guy and will do anything for you, but sometimes I have to agree with ex-wives 2 & 3 who say he's been brain damaged since wife #1.

I think 2&3 are on to something. I'm glad he remembered where it belonged, maybe your on a roll 843 and the rest of the things will wander home too. Keep an eye out for that #1, must be undetectably lethal

ps. welcome home, feed the kitties.

Thanks for the welcome home Sam, its been a long week. The cats were pleased to see us, our neighbor takes good care of them when we travel, but they miss us as much as we miss them.

I've met Ricky's first wife, when you get past the whole "utter psycho" part of her personality, she's just plain old scary.
