All I can think about when I read your post is: "Ohhhh, wash-rack...fancy!  All we have is a five gallon bucket and a sun-damaged hose! (the brush went missing a while back)"

Hose and a bucket.  Wow, All I have is a wet towel and a spray bottle of simply green.  You guys are livin'

You guys need to come down to Fl, where what I call the puppy mill flight schools are.

Went to Deland the other day where it seems the Embry Riddle guys go, well Deland is busy, jumpers all the time etc. Really no place for just Soloed students. I turn final and have two ER 172’s cut in front of me, I have a couple more aircraft behind me. When they cut in front of me I’m thinking this is going to be interesting as they are at my altitude, which means too high to make the runway as they are in close, so I figure they will go around.

Nope, when they figure they are too high, they do a 180 and head straight back up the approach path going the wrong way, so I get on the radio and ask what are your intentions, then request them to state their intentions, after awhile I guess they figure going the wrong way isn’t going to work and one turns 90 to the left for cross wind and the other goes 90 to the right I guess for downwind, but neither says anything.

Then add in the constant request for traffic and airport advisories from students 10 miles out, and the idiot ten miles out in the 80 kt airplane that thinks he has to announce everything every mile. I swear I’ve heard a long dissertation of I’m going to do a 270 followed by a 90 to the right then another 90 to the left and enter a mid field left downwind. 

Sometimes it so messed up that it’s just inconceivable, how is it that there aren’t mid airs every week?

But Society is breaking down, yes I know all old men come to believe that, but how else can you explain the rampant crime, school shootings, road rage, an incredible number of hit and runs where people and children on bicycles are run over and left for dead, how many supposed sexes there are now, the idea of being “assigned” a sex at birth, “trans” Men competing in Women’s sports and any number of things that ten years ago if you told me they would happen I would have laughed, no one could be that ridiculous, but it’s happening.

So with all that going on in Society, sure some of its going to spill over into aviation.

I feel ya.  All we can do is hug and love those we share a home with and those that left  home and continued the circle of life.  Too much crazy will make ya crazy.

All standard fare for an uncontrolled field.

I just read something on the Internet today that basically said that about 85% of people are just no good....
