Mine is a 16.5' Tracker with a 25 Merc on the back... not complaining about the lil motor... only paid $1500 for it on the trailer.

Funny thing... I have more in it in tech; than I paid for the boat, motor and trailer.

 

Ahem, the joys of aircraft ownership....

1. Met Office calls for "Severe Clear" today, instead I got 400' ceilings and rain/thunderstorms with 14 knot winds.

2. Met Office says the weather has moved off, expect clearing skies and calm winds, it started to rain when I got to the field.

3. Cancelled the flight test and decided to do some static ground testing again just to make sure everything is perfect.

4. On the second full power run up, the aircraft develops a major oil leak on a "minor oil line"...Prompting the A&P mechanic to scream in my headset loud enough to rupture an eardrum, "Shut it down Delta Echo, shut it down, there's oil everywhere!!".

5. The aircraft is now back in the hanger dribbling on some oil spill mats while my A&P tech waits for it to cool enough to work on.

6. My nice clean black '06 HHR is now water spotted and dirty from driving back in the rain that's not supposed to be here.

7. Return home deflated knowing that tomorrow's weather is going to be peachy, but that your aircraft is peeing on the hanger floor like an excited puppy, and you have two meetings in Charlotte.

8. Dang it all.

Maybe I should take up needlepoint or bird watching, something less stressful.

 

There's always the law.... oh wait you said LESS stressful.

 

Believe or not, once I retired as a prosecutor, the law became something that I love to immerse myself in.

 

Admit it... you just like to argue with people dontcha?

 

Who me? Never!

 

So do we need to take up a collection so you can buy depends for The Cannibal Queen?

 

Hey you can't pick on the old girl She is our elder, what did your Grandma say ??

 

Depends (on the situation at the time)

 

Dont forget your harness when you go racing. Babe O the day.
