Yeah I can, probably pretty funny in person too.

Do you know that I haven't touched one piece of lawn care equipment since 2007?

Ever get caught "talking" to your vehicle out loud?

Yesterday I stopped at the airport to make sure my Cessna hadn't wee-wee'd through the oil spill mats on the hanger floor, and as I was putting down a fresh set I gave the Queen a pat on the fuselage and said "You're a dirty girl you know that, but I still love ya"....well from the other side of a Beechcraft Model 33 Debonair I heard a snort followed by a less then successfully stifled belly laugh. Seems the hanger wasn't empty after all.

Ha Ha He was probably on the other side admiring Her. My grandfather was and engineer at Beechcraft, think He had a finger in designing the Queen??

Look what all that rain does for the grass, it has only been two weeks since I thatched and aerated it, looking better?

Well Sam, being that Walter H. Beech and Clyde Cessna couldn't stand each other, your Grandfather would have probably called The Queen a hunk of junk, company loyalty and all don't you think?

The Cessna 195 Businessliner and the Beechcraft Model B35 Bonanza were both developed at roughly the same time, so your Grandpa most likely had a hand in the Queen's biggest competitor.

Nah, He seemed to have a soft spot for all them flying contraptions. I seem to remember the name Bonanza, do your memories from when you were 5 get a little foggy too ?
