The questions and answers are as worth reading as the copy.

I'm on the road, and thought I'd stopped in at a Panera Bread to use their WiFi access. When I read the "Hello Senator Clinton" reply to one of the questions, I laughed enough that people were looking at me more strangely than usual...

Re: Leather Pants

The ad IS funny, but I found it slightly disturbing to learn that Rob Lees has been shopping for leather pants. Is he planning his wardrobe for next years Oshkosh?

Re: Leather Pants

It seems the cat's out of the bag. There were a few of us who were planning to organize a roughneck splinter group called "badass T-craft sky-bikers". Rob was put in charge of the leather...flying chaps... and I was going to be responsible for the gaudy oversized Ray-Ban sunglasses. Unfortunately Rob was outbid on ebay for the leather and I was arrested breaking into the storage unit of the 70's band Foghat looking for the big glasses.

Mike horowitz said he could find some scraps of Grade A cotton to make flying scarves out of. Lee D. was melting down some oilite bushings to fashion little daggers with the Taylorcraft logo on them. Crispy Critter was working on an STC to remove one of the exhaust pipe connections from the #2 cylinder so the the Taylorcrafts would make that puttt-putt sound like a Harley bike.

There was even talk of welding up three foot tall handlebars to attach to the control yoke shaft, but the whole idea was scrapped because we were outbid on the leather pants.

Re: Leather Pants

ALLRIGHT!

This is what happens when you let a dollar chase a dime. So sad, so sad.

Rob, didn't know you were into leather. All this time, I thought you were just the piano player!

Re: Leather Pants

Guess you could always carve a few leather flying helmets out of them?

Re: Leather Pants

..and anyway, black's not my colour, I prefer red leather.

Well spotted, Paul. That's been my occupation since I joined this group of reprobates in 2003; you are the first to pass comment upon it!

Re: Leather Pants and cracking up

Thank you Rob; Truth is that I've had a hell of a month. and I'm laughing so hard that I'm pulling at the stitches on my Dental surgery. And it feels good.
Just need to laugh. Birdlegs
