O T ** Old Saying **

His reply was always the same; "Ya gott be smarter than what your working with, I have a brain that peice of steel don't".

As the chick warms up, it starts peeping in dismay. A fox hears it and snatches it out of the cowpie and eats it.

The moral:

It's not always your enemies that get you into it.

It's not always your friends that get you out of it.

And when your into it up to your neck, keep your mouth shut.

As told to me by my CPO back in my navy days.

"The only time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire."

"The glide distance of an airplane with a dead engine is approxiamately half the distance to the nearest runway."

"Any landing you walk away from was a good landing. If the airplace flies the next day, it was a great landing."

"A mid-air collision can ruin your whole day." (That has to be the ultimate understatement.)

"There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots. But there are no old bold pilots."

Best advice I ever got as a young teenager with a budding interest in cars and girls.

Also a good reminder to us older guys who like old or new iron. I won't comment on the girls as I'm happily married and I asked for it so have no right to complain, but I suppose a few of you who are dating, married or divorced know what I'm talking about!

"Don't do anything stupid." So simple, yet so versatile and boundlessly useful!

How 'bout:

"Holy cats and kittens!!!"

"Holy buckets!!!"

A farmer and his son had put up hay in the valley for 3 days. The farmer called his son over and said "go up on the mountain and ask the old Indian medicine man how bad the winter will be". the son goes and comes back that evening and tells his dad "the old indian says it is going to be a bad winter". So they put hay up for two more days. The father tells his son to go ask again. When he returns that night he tells his dad. "He said it is going to be a very bad winter". So they put up hay for another day. This time the father thinks maybe I should go ask. He makes his way to the old indian and asks how bad the winter will be. The old indian says " maybe worst winter in all time" The farmer is concerned and asks "how do you know this". The old indian points to the valley and says "Farmer puts up much hay"

Hi Mark, My Granddad had 13 kids and was a sharecropper in SW VA and he would hire on help and they would keep asking "when are we going to quit?"

His answer was, "don't worry about the mules going blind keep loading the wagon." Hal
PS; Take a look at the snow pictures on the Farmall forum. They were taken in WA state.

Also, when some one was having what I call " a get together" my grandfolks and my mother always refered to it a "a doings". My wife laughed he butt off at that, said she neverheard that one. Remember, a pig roast was a "doings" a wedding reception was "a big doings", having a few neighbors over after 10:00 am mass to watch AWA wrestling was " a small doings after mass" Please tell me I'm not the only one whose elders used that phrase!!

Red in the morning, sailors warning, red at nite, sailors delight.

from my days in the air-----

There is nothing more useless that runway behind you or airspace above you.

There are old pilots and there are bold pilots but there are no old, bold pilots.
