Our mechanic "test flys" his work.

When I owned my 150, I got sort of used to having the mechanic stay on the
ground. The guy who did the annuals then liked his beer after work. The two of
us would've put that plane at least 100 pounds over MGW (and I weighed 140 to
150 back then). We weren't good enough friends for that either.
