    Back in 1969 I was a newly minted aircraft electrician and flash lite holder assigned to an airbase in England. President Nixon was in town to meet the British Prime Minister. We got a call for a bad generator on Air Force One.

    I was sent out with a seven level electrician to replace the generator. ...doing the work under the watchful eye of the Secret Service.

    After we finished, I policed up all the bits and pieces,( safety wire) and went back to the shop. I had a handful of old lock nuts, and guys asked if they could buy one. I said yeah...a buck each. After they were all gone, I went to the bench stock drawers and got some more.

    I sold about twenty--five, until a couple of the guys caught on.......I had to lay low for awhile🙂

    I know of Rocky Rabb, Scooterdriver, Oldclolts and others on our boards who have done what I dream of of doing ( a combat aviator). I admit that I'm a coward. I could never get into an aircraft and perform the duties required of me. It takes a special man (or woman) who is willing to put his or her life on the line for our nation. I regret to say that I'm not one of them. This includes members like MontanaJoe who was a military policemen. I'm not in that group. Honestly, I 'm just along for the ride. I'm not proud of that, but it is reality.

    I feel privileged to have been one of a crew of four that built a staircase in a virgin forest nature preserve.

    Under hypnosis, I learned that in a previous life I was Napoleon Bonaparte.


    The only thing that followed me into this current configuration is my constant desire to place my right hand into my lapel and the embarrassment endured when wearing a speedo into the pool! 🤣
