The divorced guy who picked it up had over 120hr. for the month...

Geez, I wonder why he's divorced? I'm sure his ex-wife enjoyed her pay raise.

Oh, and I was out racing my catamaran when I could have been flying a 2 day worth 10:30, so that hobby cost me about $2,300 that weekend.

Life is about living...right?
Good on you Timbo. I fly alot less in the fall so I can coach youth football. Sure, it costs me $ but I enjoy it and the kids are so coachable at that age its worth it.
