Tony,

To play the devil's advocate, did you, or any of the people you were with having weight problems weigh your airplanes before going to the Nats? I'm certainly not being confrontational, but that's the only way for me to know that something is what it is.

Trust me, I know it sucks how much things cost. I'm a 23 year old newlywed college student. I don't have a very steady job, as the construction industry is in the pits at the moment. I cringe when I make a big purchase, as one of my Partners probably costs more than my Explorer that I drive every day does. Hell, my TV almost does, so pattern is a large portion of what my free money gets spent on. I know how hard it is to fork over money for this stuff, but it's all in what you get out of it.
