Excellent. I wonder how many people got the one about the "trailer for sale or rent."
I imagine that a large number of people on here do.

Coffee vs. Wine is perfect, really made me LOL
Thanks
Thanks
I drink lots and lots of coffee every day, a habit from my many years in the Navy, but I'll take the wine any day.

Good morning "flyguy",
The trailer for rent shot actually made me laugh out loud sitting here all alone @0300H. I loved the late Roger Miller. Nice reminder of him.
All the best to you and yours,
From another (retired) "flyguy",

Thank you for your nice reply, it is very much appreciated and all the best to you and yours, too.
By the way, what was your flying experience?

Hi "flyguy",
Just started out with a Private license like so many others way back in 1969. Before I could afford the lessons I joined the University of Minnesota skydiving club (where I was an Aeronautical Engineering student) and a local club called Twin Eagles Skydiving. The jumps were just about free with 3000' @ $2.50, 7500' @ $7.50, 12,500' @ $12.50 and 18,500' @ just under $20.00. After 500+ jumps I finally had a double malfunction resulting in plaster casts and some other soft tissue injuries. The aviation school I used in St. Paul MN allowed me to start although I was wearing the casts. I put skydiving sadly in the past and proceeded with as much training as I could afford. I went on to an IFR rating, Commercial license, multi, CFI / CFII and eventually ATP / Multi engine. I instructed for a few years and then heard about a large Minnesota medical center looking for corporate pilots. I applied, was hired and signed on as a 1st officer on King Air 200. This led to Captain on a King Air 300 / 350 where I spent many years (and thousands of hours) really enjoying what I was doing. I'm now 71 with a few fairly significant health conditions so any type of flying (except as a passenger) just isn't possible.
They say if you love your job you'll never work a day in your life. A little corny(?), perhaps, but for me it was absolutely true.
I talk too much but your question kind of opened a floodgate of memories - all good.
For that I thank you.
Again, all the best and if you are still flying never let a chance to aviate slip away.
Terry
All the best,
Terry

Especially loved the one about Schubert's Unfinished Symphony--a situation I can entirely empathize with.
