At my field, on any warm evening, you'll see a handfull of guys sitting around BSing, and taking turns flying 1 or 2 airplanes.

When you ask them if their wives mind them being at the field almost every evening, the answer is almost always "well, she prefers this to sitting in a bar somewhere, and at least she knows I'll be home shortly after dark." No fluzzies at most flying fields either

There are, in fact, many worse things you could be doing instead of spending a few bucks and evenings standing in a field watching a little airplane go around in circles , she just needs a reminder

(Oh, I hope my wife doesn't read that one )
