Better not.

I'd tell the one about the Old Prospector and the Young Gun Slinger but
I'm afraid some people might have a stroke.

A sense of humor is a great thing.

I liked your joke, Walt. Gave me a good laugh.
Are you still flying the 1-34 out at SLGP or have you purchased your own ship?
Anyway, thanks for the laugh.

Brian,

Still flying the 1-34 and looking for my own ship. Really would prefer something fully aerobatic as flying xcountry is not as appealing to me as looping and rolling. I had too many hours twisting thru the sky in a Citabria and Decathalon in my misspent youth and remember those days fondly.

Work makes visiting potential glider purchases somewhat difficult but someone has to pay the taxes to keep Obama happy.

Walt
