It's still cheaper than a couple of new car payments. Drive it 'till it won't go no more!

 

This is all that this thread was meant to be, and I hope we can all spread good news to each other, I know there is always plenty of bad news, and whether it be an extra beer in the fridge that we might have overlooked, or a good sunset you get to see from a panoramic view unlike any other, tommorow is a new day, go Cards, and go Phil (mickelson that is). Seriously though some ones kid has got to be talking by now

 

By the way anyone tried to quit smoking/chewing lately. Any success, and if so what did you do to help, gum, patch, heroin? Next positive step I plan to take, but would like to know techniques, and us pilots are all about techniques I think.

 

Well, I guess you won't be posting here on this thread February 1st.

Seriously, I quit in 1983. First three weeks were unshirted hell. What helped was that I had gotten back into running and swimming. The exercise routine got a lot easier after three weeks without smoking. I couldn't bear the thought (and pain) of lighting up again. It helped.

 

Arrived back home this am to find out that I will be a Grandfather sometime in April.
BTW it's a boy !

 

I quit in 88 -hey rotorhead, we're old farts-, and here is how i did it. Back in those days niccorette was prescribed, but expensive as hell. I never liked chewing gum continuosly and noticed that chewing niccorette for a few hours would leave me with no desire to even talk. So i switched to chewing gum. Everytime i wanted to smoke, i'd pop a new piece of gum. By the 4-5 hours of doing this with a about 8 pieces in, you want nothing to do with a cigarette, believe me. Did this for less than 2 weeks and just quit that way. One note though, watch your appetite, as your body will start to crave all kinds of things at all kinds of hours. You will gain weight but just watch it.
To the future grandpa, congrats. The best thing about grankids, you can always send them back home.
Btw, I'm grateful that today is another sunny, cloudless, low 60s day in FL.

 

I slept through my first 7 hours of rsv today! Woke up and found two peanuts in the couch and a nickle! only .45 to go and i get a free beer from the machine!
