Democrats on notice

Sunday, October 1st, 2006

The following Democrats voted for torture, against Habeus Corpus, and for the establishment of an Imperial Presidency. They will never recieve another penny from me, as long as I live.

Interesting. To me, anyway.

I just noticed that after today’s flight, I’m on the last page of my log book. Soon I’m going to have to file this one away and start a new one. I’m going to miss this old guy. It’s been with me since my first flight on 27 June 1995, in N38290. The club just sold N38290 - it left for its one-way trip to the new owner on Monday. That flight was 0.7 hours - I’ve now done 440.4 hours, and by the time the book is filled, will probably be up around 450-455 hours. What a long strange and wonderful trip it’s been.

In other news, I went to an “aviation garage sale” today. A member of the local EAA chapter is shutting down his aviation business because he needs the garage space to build his Rans S-9. (I have to confess that when he was talking about other people’s S-9 projects, at first I thought he was calling them “asinine”.) I came away with a warm flight jacket, two t-shirts (my third “Bad Attitude” shirt, since the previous two wore out, and a Snowbirds shirt), and a deHavilland Beaver wall clock, all for $53.
