gene, as I recall you mentioned it took you many, many years to get that same
license my high school buddy had before his 19th birthday.

So, one difference between you and he is that I taught him in his early days,

a second difference is the years and years and years you spent learning what he
learned in a year, and

he found he could make better money as a carpenter and thus left the business.
It seems no one would hire you as a carpenter.

actually gene, I taught him much of what he knew about mechanics while we
were
still in junior and senior high school (I worked as a professinal mechanic
starting the summer I was twelve years old, my father owned the place)......

Oh, boy...... you can always tell a "professinal," but you can't tell
them much....

Poor and inaccurate recollection.... makes one wonder where you got
that idea... Fact is, I earned my license in the minimum time required
by the FAA.

age what?

He must have been lucky to have a twelve year old professional
mechanic as a teacher. Few people have had this, uh, advantage....


lucky? maybe. Whatever you wish to call it, but he had that license you brag
about while he was still 18 years old.

by the way, the military thought so much of that license they made him a
rifleman.

keep in mind as well, that after his service you did make a living for himself
with that license but with a growing family I chose the more remunirative
career as that of a capenter.

Most people aren't capable of working in .001 and .0001 and find the
pressure of doing it right the first time or suffering the penalty of
causing loss of property or life too much...

really? you find working at that level to be genuine strain? No wonder you
never became a carpenter. You would have cut all your fingers off the first
season.

Ah. JAX is a carpenter, with imaginary friends.

I have never worked as a carpenter in my life. I never worked as a librarian
or short order cook or cattle rancher or college professor teaching art history
either. I have worked as a professional killer, but that was a long time and I
worked for my uncle.

No? Then why did you write:

Jax is simply incapable of juggling all his stories and imagined
experiences. He has been trashed so badly so often for the same bizarre
statements that he has long since lapsed into the clouded dusk of Jaxworld.

It shows best when he has been slapped around and reminded of the
speedos atrocity and his disgraceful performance on the threads
concerning gyros, lube oil, aircraft engines, navigation, the Gulf
Stream, GPS panic ... hell, pick a technical thread and Jax has been
trashed in each one.

no, steve, it was not a slip. or at least in the way you are trying to say.
you see, when I write I think a whole hell of a lot faster than a type. I also
type from visual images. I also place my thoughts in the heads of the player
(helps understand them, a technique I learned several decades ago when writing
advertising). Also, I seldom if ever edit what I write in conversation mode on
the net (sorry if that makes it look like I don't think you are important, but
candidly in the greater scheme of things you don't). I have never made, nor
attempted to make, any money as a carpenter.
