If that was you Big......you have really gone down hill since you went to your own funeral.

Walt don't you think you are a bit old for college....how many decades have you been going....more important, how many decades before you graduate?

Rosty: Whut kinda airyoplane izzat?

I can't see enuf of it to guess. Sorta looks like it might be a 172...

Useta rent them down in Marathon to fly the keys. I did a lotsa wing-stands over Sloppy Joe's.

OH. Just thought of a fun story. First time we rented a plane there, the guy at the rental thingy wanted to do a test flight with me because (in his words) the Marathon runway had tricky turbulence you hadda kinda push through to land.

Well, I learned to fly at Boca Raton Airplane Patch. Where a 30MPH 90-deg sideways crosswind was sorta standard. You landed on one wheel only most of the fargin time. Wind at Boca is almost always from the ocean 1/2 mile away. Unless it goes the other way. Never north and south like the fargin runway. Always crosswind.

So Marathon wuz nuthin', and the guy could see it.

BTW: Back in WWII, Boca Airplane Dump was standard triangular layout of runways. But later, the local college turned two of the runways into parking lots for students. The only runway left was crosswind.

That's what keeps him going. He'll be 200 before he pays off his student loans. :)
 
Trivia: I have driven that "bridge to nowhere" many times back when it went somewhere. The guardrails of that bridge are railroad rails from Flagler's private railroad. But the road was laid out before fargin 18-wheelers were invented. If you are going thataway while an 18-wheeled, E-flat monster is coming at you thisaway...

It was a real washer-biter** because there was no room!! Inches only. Jeez.

And you can rent a boat at the key at the end of the right hand side new bridge (much wider!) Sail it along under the piers of the bridge, and snorkel lobsters around each pier. BTDT.

**That's when your arsehole bites washers out of the car seat.

Prob cost way more for the bridge to be built than the island to buy.
 
Did you use to repo airplanes too

I watched that show until I figured out it was complete ********. Really pissed me off that it took me so long to see the obvious. Fking camera angles tells it all not to mention they were shown to be full of **** by another network.

Can't remember what state I was in with the gang, but we went across a river on a bridge. An 18 wheeler figured he'd fit since we were all on scooters, so here he comes from the opposite direction. All went great until he realized that the guy bringing up the rear (me) was on a sidehack that was as wide as a Jeep. He crawled as close as he could to one side, while I did the same on the other. I was at a dead stop and he was creeping. One of the guys had ran back and was hanging on his running board, watching me signal and relaying the distance between us. I actually had to jack the handlebars to one side for the last set of dualies to pass, and the distance wasn't measured in inches; it was in LRCH's.
If he'd have hooked the bike, I'd have jumped up on the guardrail and let the insurance companies worry about it. Made for an interesting moment.
