And then you offer to get him up on a buddy box so he too can experience the joys of flight.

Status: offline 		You allow your wife to think you may be having an affair just to keep her from knowing how much time and money you are really spending on the hobby. When busted you say," No it is just my hobby time." However you never considered that to loose her man to another woman is part of life, but to an airplane is un-comprehendible and devastating. Or so I am told! LOL I bought some expensive jewelry at full retail !!

Status: offline 		You throw a piece of card board towards the recycling bin, it catches air and instinctively you snap you head back around to see the flight characteristics. I watched it flutter all the way to the ground and then wondered why I thought that was so important. Instincts from taking flying notes on my planes. Crazy.

Planning on doing it again soon so I can finish the fuse on my Grumman Duck.

Calling in sick to build falls into the picture as well.

My worse case is I have so many plans that I have no place to keep them all and now they fill a closet and part of the living room. And yes I am married, just to a real great woman!!

You buy a house just because it has a heated huge garage with 50 amp breakers in it. Did just that this week!

I have everything for the PBF but I'm very obsesses...er...focused on my new Knife right now. All my brainpower is going into how to afford a new engine, realflight (for office flying) and building a new rolling fieldbox that has everything (including drink holder).

Yes, very far out there. If you are on my road you are coming to see me or lost. I can run up engines with no worries now!

Just did that.

You build on to your garage an air conditioned place to store planes, not because thers planes everywhere in the house but because you just moved into gassers and the whole house smells like gasoline

A drink holder....hmmmm...I'll have to add that to my ultimate field box design. When you are not at the field you can use it in the shop to hold the Colorado Kool Aid Are you making a different box than the one you posted about? Do you have a foundation for the idea yet? Plano has a nice rolling box. About the only one I found that will hold a gal jug inside.
