Prolly a wrap…. Anyhoo… as a keep some time on a friends… I LOVE IT. Absolutely love it. Poo pooed it from the moment my bud said he was gonna get it… but then I flew it. Then I instructed in it. It’s amazing. As a flight school manager I liked it, and got one. I found it lacked...

I didn’t know that Miracle Whip wasn’t mayonnaise until my mid 20s…. Hehe, my FIRST breakfast at the Naval Academy. Eyes in the boat I thought I observed people eating unglazed plain donuts so stale you could spread unmelted and very pale butter on them. I was too freaked out in general to...

I like frozen burritos. A lot. I don’t want to, I’ve tried to quit… but I can’t. And then there’s DEEP FRIED frozen bean burritos you used to be able to get at 7-11 in the middle of the night… oooooph, YUMMY. They may have been available during the day, I don’t really know. They resurfaced...

Ooooooph…. that took the wind right out of me. Can’t even imagine and got no words. Seek comfort. Talk a lot about him, he lives in your heart and thoughts now. If it feels good, tell us some good memories and post a favorite pic. We’ll remember him with you!! Google the seven stages of...

A buddy of mine had a 5 way bypass… was given some synthetic opioid when he woke up in recovery… Mike, I saw the door knob sliding down the door! I know door knobs can’t do that, but there it was… Apparently a normal abnormal reaction to that stuff, ha! Never took that again.
