Default A reluctance to take the controls

Your prerogative. IMHO, you're missing out. Why limit your experiences
to
things you can only do to some minimum standard? You're sitting there.
You've got nothing better to do. Why not take the moment?


How does this jive with your question for Jay about experiencing being
sodomized by a guy? :-)


Because you clearly have a willingness to fly generally.

I take it as granted that there are things that any given person simply will
never have any interest in doing. But that's not the situation with respect
to you and flying.

Just so you don't think I'm a total dud, I did drive a cherry picker
yesterday. My neighbor rented it to hang xmas lights. I took him up on
his offer to use it. Great fun - ended up hanging lights all over the
house and in every tree in the front yard. I hope he rents it again
after xmas 'cuz otherwise I'll have to cut down the trees to get the
lights down.


Yeah, but would you have taken him up on an offer to simply operate the
cherry picker to no useful end for a few minutes? Or was it a requirement
that you actually *did* something with it?

I don't think you're a total dud at all. It's important that you do what
you want, and that you don't waste time doing things you don't want to do.
I just think you're missing some things that you might otherwise enjoy, and
simply don't realize it.
