Yeah, I remember his ability to find a problem with an airplane when we were at a good layover. That was his gift.
When he was in Hawaii with me, he drove a Fiat Spider convertible. I saw him driving it down H1 one day; he looked like Mr. Potato Head in that thing. A sunburned, sweating Mr. Potato Head.
