Distance to Airport

Any truth to the saying "the further away the boat, the more you use it"?

I've not found that to be the case. I don't fly as often based at Old Bridge
as I did when I was based at Kupper. The drive to Kupper used to be 20 to 30
minutes. That to Old Bridge runs 45 minutes or a bit more. That extra hour of
driving time somehow makes it impossible to get anything else done on a flying
afternoon.

Heh, I've found this. My garden is overgrown with brambles,
my house is a mess and my cars need washing and polishing.
I find my whole day's shot...I tend not to get up early on
Saturdays anyway (see working time below...usually too tired
by Saturday!) and with an hour drive each way and it getting
dark early now...

And I was in work until 5.45am this morning working enough
overtime to pay for the damned plane! :-)

Reminds me of my father. He loved golf, and we lived across the street from a
country club. He took a second job to pay his links fees. Then he never had
time to play.
