Anyone dissapointed with Oshgosh?

A while ago a politican put out a lot of TV advertisements which stated
that teachers only really work 5 classroom hours a day which turns out to
be about 45$ per hour.
I decided to apply this logic and offered to pay my mechanic double that
(90$/hr)to put new rings in my engine.

He was delighted until I pointed out that I was just paying him to have the
rings put in.
The rest, opening the engine, removing the pistons, honing, shop supplies,
replacemnt, documentation, checking with me, etc was preparation time. I
would owe him about 45$.
I liked the deal.

If you simply mean well enough to stay on the payroll, I believe there
are too
many. Now if you mean to accomplish what is traditionally expected of a
teacher......
to do it in 2000 hours a year takes a skilled and efficient professional.

Not sure if it was incompetent teachers or the system but by the time I was
half way through school I was bored to death and hated it with a passion. We
were part of the grand experiment in reading by phonics and then they decided
that wasn't working so they tried something else, then something else. I
learned to read quite well but never did learn to spell worth a damn.

Bob Reed? Quit bitchin'? You might as well as ask the sun to stop
shining. The stars to stop twinkling. The rivers to stop flowing.
The sands to stop blowing. The birds to stop singing. The bees to
stop humming. Badwater to stop cussing. Larry to stop looking for
latches. Sydney to stop eating bon-bons. Barnyard to stop trying to
convince everyone he's superior. Yada, yada, yada.

Reed's posts are 98% bitching and moaning, 1.99999% not bitching and
moaning(usually in the form of kissing BWB's butt) and 0.00001% on
topic. I'm not really sure he's ever been on topic, but I'm feeling
generous today.

And you're 99.999% right on the money.

Lets see here, my mother is 23 years older then me but yet i had 2 teachers
that taught her. The one used the same tests for the entire time he taught.
HMMMM no cheating there. Anyways he was so tired of teaching but just wanted
30 years in that he would fall asleep in class. The other one was just an ass
who was putting in time to hit 30 years. Didnt care about anything. Some of
my best teachers were the ones that bucked the system. They didnt lsat long,
but they made learning fun so i learned. PS I am very smart, but then again
ordinary things bore me. Oh well. PPS I cant type so..... lol dont comment
on it. lol

Yes, that's what the people who email me about my stories say. What's your
excuse?

Yada, yada, yada. You are sounding more like the Zoomer every day. Next you
will try and tell us that you have flown a thousand different aircraft and did
relief work in Iraq.

On the other hand, my web site did get coverage in KitPlanes this month and a
lot of people have sent me emails over the years thanking me for the help the
site has been to them. Unlike the repeated boasting about your "stories" and
emails about how great they are, I haven't found it necessary to relay that
information (until now).

So quit patting yourself on the back, you will only strain your arm.

Yada, yada, yada... always the same old tired response, from the same old
tired person, same old tired references to Zoom, like a broken record. Such
a complete lack of originality is unusual, but in your case, you're from
texas...

Whoopie! ROFL!
