I was an OTR driver for a while. I'm now a local city driver here in Baltimore. If you are ever heading this way let me know.

I think it would be worse if your boss caught you with the plane outside of your truck while you were suposed to be working. My Trex is always in my "work truck" but then again I am an OTR truck driver.

Your boss catches you with a park flyer in your work truck. ( I have been busted on this one more than once.)

You've destroyed two sets of brushes on your dremel, and are looking at getting a third pair.
Can tell an Enya from an OS from an Evolution by the sound, but don't know the difference between a Louis Vuitton and deadly Argon.
You can tell the size of an r/c engine, if it's piston ring is bad, if the fuel is good, the brand and nitro % of the fuel, and what plane it's on...from a 10 second video.
People in your LHS know you by first name, have your phone number, and have a special section reserved for you.

It's hard to keep sight of your plane because the rain is falling in your eyes.

and you keep losing your plane in the 150 foot cloud ceiling in 24 mph gusts.

You keep trying to get the wife to park her car outside so there is more room for planes in the garage.
The LHS has your phone # on speed dial to let you know when special orders come in.
You retire after 37 years of Govt Service then work part time at the LHS to support your habit (its true)....
