Anyways, Big congrats on the 1000hr mark. Truely a great achievement
(although some would say "been there, done that", they didn't do it
while raising kids, keeping the mrs happy, running your own business
and keeping household obligations intact). Congrats again my friend.

Thanks. I know 1000 hours ain't nuthin' to pilots who have ten (or more)
times the hours I have -- but most of them are commercial pilots.

While they were racking up their bazillion hours on someone else's nickel, I
was having the singular "joy" of paying for each and every one of those
thousand hours myself.

I try not to think about it too much. If you start to factor in what flying
costs per hour, plus the acquisition costs of two planes, plus what we
*could* have done with that money...

Thank goodness Mary likes to fly as much as I do!

:-)

I'm just kidding. There is *nothing* in this world like flying, and it's
been worth every penny, times ten.
