RE: I am an idiot.
Mike, I’m so sorry to hear of your accident, it makes me sick to hear that!
I think we’ve all done things where we look back and realize our actions were not the wisest. Sometimes they result in disastrous, such as yours, other times we get lucky.
Last week I was moving things around to clear a spot to work on trims on my plane and I momentarily set my 10X down on top of some towels sitting on top of a large cardboard box (putting it about 4 feet above the concrete floor). Then, like a fool, I started moving things around and bumped the box, I looked up and panicked as I saw my 10x precariously rocking back and forth. Luckily for me it didn’t fall. I immediately thought to myself how stupid that was and realized I was lucky not to be out for two or three weeks with the TX in the shop.
Again, I’m very sorry to hear about your misfortune. You’ve got a good group of guys down there in South Texas, maybe you come up with something to fly so you can at least participate this season.
