Jim Burns is An Old Man Today

[Jay Honeck]

Ahem. (tap-tap-tap --- Is this thing on...?)

Just an FYI to all of you rec.aviation regulars out there: Jim Burns turns
the big FOUR-OH today, in Steven's Point, WI, U.S.A.

(His wife, Tami, promised him that we'd keep it quiet...)

:-)

Unfortunately, 1/8 mile vis with freezing rain and snow has kept us from
attending his surprise party today -- but perhaps you will all join us in
tipping a cold one in the general direction of Wisconsin for "old" Jim!

know better that to trust you Jay. :-)

1956 was a great year to be born - I was born in January of that fine year
and am half as old as your wife!

Happy. Happy.

My present to you, Jim:
I will NOT sing: "Haaaappy Birthday .....Mr President."

The Big '40' Birthday Party:

"Well it's 9:15 pm, we're all pretty tired (yawn). Why don't we call it a
night."

"So soon? The night is young."

"Yeah, but by the time we drive home, get ready for bed, let the dog out -
well, now you're talking 10:15 pm. Maybe even 10:30 pm! We just can't stay
out late like that anymore." <g>

Yeah, I used to think 40 was "half way to dead", but people are living
longer. Now, 40 is almost like "half way to retirement".

Actually, I think my wife thinks more about turning 40 than I ever did.

I just turned 60. Young girls* look just as good today as

now as I was then. ;)-


I still feel just like I was 15 too. I used to ride horses

49 was a GREAT age to retire! I've had the BEST 3 years of my life
since then. Of course, retired does not mean not-working. :-)
I've been able to fly and instruct, do Sun-N-Fun and Oshkosh
both in the same year(s)... and do a little computer consulting. :-)

WOW! Flying and Colorado Mountains, Skiing and Colorado Mountains,
a few weeks in the Idaho Back Country and FLYING!

You don't quit doing things BECAUSE you get old...

Do more things!

Just remember the tell ATC that your old. You know like when you were a student,
you told the you were a student. Them they won't give you squawk, altitude, and
frequency all in one transmission. Too hard to remember all that information at
one time.

Not funny!!!
One of our senior citizen patrons took a dump in our rec center lap pool
last Tuesday morning. They were too embarassed to admit it was themself
(Jay, what's the proper way to word that?), but they did tell the
manager on duty as they were leaving that they thought there was
something in the pool.
It took over an hour-and-a-half to clean before we could allow patrons
back in.

Yuck. It happens.

BTW: As the husband of a certified pool operator, (Yes, in the State of
Iowa, you have to be CERTIFIED to have a stupid swimming pool. All this
means is we pay the State ANOTHER tax, but I digress...) I can tell you that
there is no way you could clean that pool adequately (or, at least,
lawfully) in that amount of time. Once fecal matter has been introduced,
you have to first drain, then shock, the pool.

Unless this is a plastic kiddie wading pool, you can't do that in anything
less than a day.

Don't ask me how I know this...

We had to shock our water well, but that just meant dumping in a couple
of quarts of Chlorox and then recirculating the water back into the well
for a specified period of time. Once you drain your pool, what do you
shock when the water is all gone?

1975-1978 High School pool lifeguard

"Floaties"

1. Colander (plastic strainer) + strong chlorine in a bleach jug + 1 gallon
pail.
2. Move kids away from the particular area (usually a corner for some
reason).
3. Lowest guard on the seniority list scoops the poop into pail.
4. Other guard opens side door.
5. Fling floatie(s) outside onto grass.
6. Pour gallon of concentrated chlorine around the area.
7. Make kids wait 15 minutes before they can swim in that area.
8. Point to some older kids, have them come over, sit on the side, and kick
the water to stir up the chlorine after 15 minutes - just to make sure. Hey,
we were the (17 year old) lifeguards - kids did what we told them to do.
:-)

200 kids in pool continue to play and swim.

We learned not to try scooping with the 1 gallon plastic ice cream container
because the scooping motion would often push the "catch of the day" away
from the lip of the pail. The colander was the thing that made out system
work. <g>
