And PICTURES... We want lots of pictures!!! Tell us all about 72-Victim.

We all know that Wayne Reynolds is a fantastic person, one of the nicest men I know. But, Bob I draw the line. Never have I even thought of kissing him on the "mouth"  Can't wait for chapter 2! | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 620 Member/500+posts | Member/500+posts Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 620 | You better keep writing, Robert, make that a book because there are novices like me right behind you gobbling up your words!
As for Wayne....he sounds like a fairy godfather that turns Cessna dreams to gold!

I really enjoyed Part 1 of your story and am eagerly waiting for the rest. Just a few comments:
1. I think Royson should include it in the Club Newsletter. 2. Like you've found out, if the employer set up the 401(k) program correctly, you can withdraw from it without penalty if you're at least 55 yrs old at the time of employment separation. 3. I have a Special Issuance medical too, so I know the hoops you had to jump through. Good to hear you made it.

I offered to go with him to drive his car back, for which he was grateful. That took about an hour... If you had flown him there in your plane, it would've taken less than an hour. You should be thinking like an airplane owner now. | | | | Joined: May 2009 Posts: 3,361 Likes: 4 Member/2500+posts | Member/2500+posts Joined: May 2009 Posts: 3,361 Likes: 4 | Hey Bob..
'Simple Green' works GREAT on oil spots... picks 'em right up and it smells good too!

It isn't aluminum safe. The Extreme Simple Green that says OK for aluminum obviously is. YES, hydrogen embrittlement is an issue with aluminum (so says my A&P general textbook)

The plane and the previous owner are both first rate. | | |
