Stephen Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 Hi Mooneyspace, happy Saturday morning (afternoon etc for those not in the US). It snowed in Hannibal, MO this morning. The weather radar looked like this: Not nearly the "lets get out and show our Mooney's some love" picture that I posted a week ago... If we are going to show the Mooney some love this weekend, for most of us non-FIKI flyers, that probably should mean we plan on doing it in the hangar, also it will probably would be a great idea to bring a jacket and gloves. So, I started reading news and the more I ready about politics and world events, the more I decided that I really am a big fan of humor. I don't think life would be worth living without a regular laugh. Well timed and appropriate levity seems to help to deflate and right-size situations. If there is a short list of things that helps us not to take ourselves, others, situations and frustrations too seriously, a good laugh is on the very short part of that short list. Whether you have just walked outside and found the dogs had their way with your garbage, maybe you had a completely crappy day at work...or perhaps found metal in your IO360 filter , or maybe you jut got bad news that very import to you has a serious medical condition, a well timed laugh can help us all get up, "rub some endorphins" on it and become constructive. Keeping that in mind, I thought it may be a great idea for us to have a continuous drip of humor thread to blend in with the fix, buy, debate, sell, what should I do and other such threads. I don't know about you, but as I browse MS, if I see that the "Mooney Humor Continuous Thread" (Craig, possible dedicated section or sticky?) has a new posting, I'm hitting that thing first. So, with that, here is my first installment... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N201MKTurbo Posted December 14, 2019 Report Share Posted December 14, 2019 I watched a guy build a P51 wing from scratch once. He spent almost as much time on the jig as the wing. The Jig will be a good 4 feet longer than the wing. You should move all the furniture into the garage and build the wing in the house. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also want to take a couch on the lawn because that's where you are going to be sleeping for the rest of your life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easier to see the planes against the sky, if they were stepped down, the backdrop would be the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife has wanted a new refrigerator for the last couple of years. Every time it looks like we'll buy one I spend the money on the plane... She refers to different things that have been done on the plane by what they took the place of, "that's the bathroom remodel, that's the refrigerator, etc..." My answer is "You can't fly the fridge to see the grandchildren." 4 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
