No, he wrote what he could recall of the book of Proverbs, but didn't get them quite right.

16. Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

17. How much deeper would the ocean be without sponges?

23. Light travels faster than sound. That's why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

24. Life isn't like a box of chocolates. It's more like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Buzz, it's not that I didn't care, it is that I have become apathetic.

Buzz,

PEDs interfere with NDB sensing. The 9's are going away. No big magic here. The only fleet they affected is soon to be beer cans. I don't know if I'd call it pushing the envelope.

Got a $20 that says there will still be an active DC-9 on Delta's registry until after January 2014 when they are supposed to be gone.

Only a non-student of history would take that there bet. On the other hand, you have fingers. Can Honey Boo Boo please be on that -9 ferry flight to the bone yard.

Default Adds for Fat Wallets

Is anyone else getting the ads for fat wallets on APC? I can think of two reasons:

1. Someone is a big Seinfeld fan.

2. A not very funny jab at the paycuts Pilots have taken over the last decade. A fat wallet is one problem most pilots do not have anymore!

OK. That's sad. Funny but sad.

I can't access Icrew on my Iphone. I updated both my phone and my tablet. The tablet works just fine. The phone, not so much.

Someone had suggested that I enable cookies. I did that. Still, no joy.

Is there anyone who has had this problem and solved it?

I sure do miss the DALPA Forum.
