2 More Years!!!

Yup, you have to put up with me for two more years... Bummer, eh
wot...





Went out to the local jetport last nite at 9PM and did my third class
renewal... The doc is Greg Pinnel... He is the guy the astronauts hope
to never, never, ever, have to meet for real... He leads the rescue
team for the shuttle crew if they have to bail out of the bird on the
pad or right at lift off... Anyway, Greg is super guy... If anyone
has problems with their certificate they are well advised to consult
with him...

OK, back to the story... I got there a bit early... Schmoozed with the
eye candy at the desk for a bit - scrumptious, got my hormones working
again - not bad for an old man...

The Michigan State police chopper was there for fuel and the guys were
having some lunch... They were going to patrol over Saginaw after the
big basketball game got done at 8:45... Some scud was coming in so I
don't know long they remained on station after they took off... When I
came back out at 9:40 it was raining... Anyway, having spent some time
around the police dep't during my wasted youth, we had a good time
swapping lies, errrrr stories....

This was the first time Greg did my physical, usually it has been his
partner, so Greg worked me over pretty good... He found I was blind
like a bat without my glasses 20/200 which I knew, but I correct to
20/15 with them, so all was well... No protein or sugar in my
urine... He was kind of bowled over with my pulse at 64...
Immediately wanted to know what I was on for blood pressure... I
haughtily informed him I am not on any meds of any kind other than
some tylenol when I overdo it - and being bone lazy, that is not very
often... So, he finally shook his head, allowed as how this would
probably come back to haunt him, and signed a fresh 3rd class for
me... You birds are stuck with me for another two years - so deal
with it!
