LOL!!!!! almost all are true!!!!! funny stuff! my wife is cool with my Hobby, the thing to do is make sure you support HER Hobbies so she wont bug you I really did buy my last car with carrying airplanes in mind! Honda Element 5 years ago[&:] it should last me until I retire in 3 years and beyond I hope. But, my friend just told me of an old 64 Dodge cargo van for free! I am seriously condsidering it for an airplane only hauler. Balsa dust in the Boogers! funny and true! I even have the machinist at work making parts for my landing gear! I NEVER turn off RCU, I am pretty good at sharpening #11 and #2 exacto blades! got at least 2 years of building projects lined up and having to sell my older airplanes to make room and finance my "Next Big RC Project" believe it or not, last week I had 3 airplanes going at once and now I am down to 2!! I have never done that before so I must be hooked more than ever before! and I am OK with it...[sm=bananahead.gif] I took about 4 yrs off and got back into it big time about 9 months ago and seriously wonder now why I took the time off! been flying and building since 1980 and still feel like a kid in a toy Store!!! I hope it never fades...[sm=shades_smile.gif]

hey, it is what it is PB66. My favorite one of all time, that I used severaly ears ago is, Your wiife is feeling in a loving and physical way but your down watching one of your dvd of warbirds over deland or something like that. So she decides she has to pull out all the guns. She strips down to the nude. She tapes some 26x10s on her breasts and one of you gas beauties on her dairyaire. She heads down to where you are , does a lil dance in front of the tv and all you ask is it a DA or a DL? and apparently her answer makes a difference

How about when you have too many airplanes and wood working equipment busting out of the walls in your basement that you have to build an addition on to your home just to be able to walk around in your house

guilty!
