What the heck is a "knot meter"? A speedometer? (Or, more correctly, a

Don't boats come with those things standard?

Boat is a 1988 Catalina 36 sail boat in Lake Erie. Yes, a knotmeter measures
speed in knots thur the water. And yes, they usually have one but after 15
years, the original went TU. Until I bought the airplane a few years ago, I
thought that a boat was expensive to own.G Nice thing re boats is that you
can do the work on them if you want and don't need an A&E to sign it off.

You are supposed to guess... G

Actually, the variants , types/styles are far to numerous to
install as standard except in small "casual" boats.

Ho, ho, ho....!

Me, I'm asking Santa for a new, solid-state transponder -- which is about
as
dull as socks & underwear, but the third digit on mine keeps going wacky
once in while. I *hate* it when ATC thinks I've set my squawk code
wrong...

What are you hoping to find in YOUR stocking on Christmas morn?

Best not hang the stocking over the fireplace... :-)

Santa's bringing a factory-reman carburetor for my 0-200. A
smooth-running engine, just for once, is all I ask!

Greg Hopp

2000 gallons of avgas.

How 'bout mogas instead? :-)

(I just checked a couple of days ago -- we've pumped over 2300 gallons out
of the "Mighty Grape" since buying/building it in November 2002. At a
savings of over a buck a gallon, well... It's pretty much like getting a
Christmas present! :-)

that serve peanuts in short skirts and "hooters" shirts.....oh wait,
that already exists for a small fee to Hooters Airlines, and you can
even drink on the flight.
