Buddhist monk, available to bless airplanes:

Hey, Bryan -- how many blessings can I buy with free admission to our
rec.aviation party at OSH this year? We have really, really good beer!

Of course. Everything you own is.

Boy, nothing could be farther from the truth.

None of it is Narco, obviously.


Actually, the audio panel, both VORs, both COMS, and the DME are ALL

Narco.

I really don't know what everyone bitches about them for -- they've worked
well for me.

Well, this is obviously wrong, so I have to admit that I don't know why my LORAN
can't figure out where it is if you move it. The manual doesn't say why, either.

That's about what it takes to replace mine, and, yes, you can usually find one
at a good electronics shop.

It's better to use a "story stick" and not measure at all.

Well, maybe in an airplane Iowa seems flat, but having ridden RAGBRAI (Jay
will know what this means), I have it on first hand authority that Iowa is
NOT flat from a bicycle, particularly on a tandem. My wife and the three
(then) kids would heartily agree.

ROTFL...that's right, the sectionals are only a couple shades of green.

Not
nearly as colorful as the ones us left coasters have to use. Maybe Jay
needs to worry about CFIFS or "Controlled Flight Into Flat Stuff".

Do I? I'll try to brighten up my prose a bit. (I hate being predictable.
:-)

Heck, I WISH everything I owned was "bulletproof". It seems like entropy
and airplanes go together like milk and cookies...

People are always surprised by how hilly Iowa is. They're even more
surprised to find we live on a hill, and the airport is in a valley.
