Iwas going over a couple photo albums from our club's past. Seems that a barbecue and open bar was the order of the day after flying. Of course stopping off after work for a couple with the guys was quite common back then also. If moderation rules, and after flying beer with the guys wouldn't be bad. The trouble is that moderation doesn't alway rule, so the no drrinking rule is a good choice.

When I was still in high school, I used to do a lot of target practice with my 22 single shot. As much as I could do when buyning shells by picking up pop bottles from the ditches for money. One day, I decided to snag a beer from my dad and see how that affected my shooting. 10 for 10 in the bulls eye before the beer and 8 for 10 off the target completly after. I think that kind of sums up the effect that a drink or two can have on you. An flying a nitro plane requires a bit more motor skills plinking a target with a 22.

Yes, I'm finishing off my second glass of wine after dinner, and no, I can't spell. Anytime.
