Hottshot, he said he's been gone a week.

we need him....Don't piss him off unless you plan on selling your Maule...

Well if he is an airplane AND gun junkie, at least he can be trusted. But he can't be of any real use because he has to stay broke!

Hello, my name is Wup.... I am a gun junky
It has been 3 months since my last gun purchase




John boy already got the word from the budget dept. There is suposedly NO gun budget for 2008

Now the airplane is another story..... since the Budget Dept. is gettin her Ticket I think that side of things will be safe.

I guess this means that I have to actually buy something from you at the Trade Show in May this year to fund your habits.

nonsense Wup, just sell a couple more of thos bald tires and you'll be fine...

Hey Wup, a wise old man once told me...." a man can never have too many guns."

Too many gun too much horse power and too much money are not things that any of us can live with out

Update:
My Dad had surgery 3-1/2 weeks ago. They took out his bladder, urinary tract, and prostate. He is still in the hospital. They re-operated last week b/c he developed 4 intestinal blockages. With any luck besides bad luck, he might get to go home in another week. He still has to recover and do chemo. They officially called it small cell carcinoma. It usually is in the lungs, but for some reason they found it in his bladder. He's been smoking since he was 8, so this is probably something from that habit.

I have been back to Denver a couple times to see him. I got him to go ice fishing a couple times before surgery, and I'm glad we went. As usual, he caught the first fish and the biggest. Some things will never change! I hope that he recovers enough so that I can take him flying. It's funny. I've been flying now for over 15 years but never once got him up in a plane I was flying. I gotta fix that while I still have the chance.

I also got another contract on my house in Corpus Christi. Keep yer fingers crossed that this one doesn't go South. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.
Cheers!

good luck on the house. Spend as much time with your dad as you can. Make time for that matter. I know I still think sometimes, "Gee I should have gone to see dad more". And now I think, " gee I should have been a better dad to my son, and done more with him. Get him up in that plane if he can. I remember the last time I flew with my son in the right seat. He loved flying with me. Now his picture is right there on the panel smiling back at me.

Best of luck to you and your dad, Arn. The thing about shitty times is that they make the easy-going, boring days seem priceless.

I just do not get it.
