Like I told ex number one...

I can always sleep in the airplane, but you can't fly a house."

i live here, and am only 4 miles away...will leave u a key at the fuel desk
and stay as long as u like...no charge of course.

Love and enjoy my wife and hate to get further off topic, but there is a great Normism from Cheers here:

"Women, can't live with em,... pass the beer nuts."

I hope this fellow works out the airplane and continued flying.

Thanks jomac, that is very kind of you. I actually share the plane with my dad. He will probably have it in IF for a couple months which is way longer than I'd be willing to impose on someone. He actually as going to remove the tail this weekend for a repair, maybe I'll ask him if he'd rather do it in a hangar rather than outside.

Hey svanarts, encourage him to join the forum! I am sure that will give him a boost!

It is very important to compromise in a marriage. But the key word is "compromise". He just received a devesting blow by having his plane burn up. If his wife doesn't understand how important flying is to him, then he should sit down with her and have a heart-to-heart talk about it. Maybe the compromise is that she gets a little priority treatment now with the understanding that he gets to works towards getting another plane or maybe building one. Unless this guy has been ignoring his wife and being selfish, it is hard for me to believe that a couple in a good marriage can't work something out. If the marriage isn't good, then there are larger issues to deal with.

I really feel for the guy. I hope it works out.

He's trying really hard to keep his marriage intact. Fact is, not only is his wife stunningly beautiful, but she rebuilt an entire Corvette, motor and all, in high school. They met in auto shop. Unfortunately she has a huge ax to grind with the world. I think because her parents are both midgets. (I swear! You can't make this stuff up.) And they both have FULL SIZED attitudes. Angry midgets, the worst. I know, I know, don't call 'em midgets.

But in her defense, Chris had the 150, he has a hot rod he built up, he has a couple of cars in the garage that need to be finished and sold, he's a range marshall at the local shooting range, partners in his dad's construction business, and the list goes on. She's at home with their new kid and wants him home every know and then.

But yeah, I'm still going to encourage him to not give up flying.

midgets..... jews..... ethics...... ethnics...... how did we get ourselves to this point. I'm not sure if I should be laughing or crying. You guys are too much. Keep going I want to see where this thread ends up.

Talking about wives and airplanes, last year when i got back into flying after 14yrs. out of it, my wife told me in her most convincing tone that it was "either me or an airplane" and i told her that she had been a great wife and i would miss her". couple days later she loved the thought of a new airplane. funny how they try to keep us from flying.

Put up or shut up!
I'm glad "I" never had to make THAT decision!

I love it!

Sounds like a successful thread to me!

Looks like this whole thread was a set-up for BadDog's punchline!
