Every argument my wife and I have about something she wants ends the same way - "You're building an airplane. I win."

And she's right...:D

My wife has never once said that.

She doesn't have to... :rolleyes: It works like this.

I'm so glad this thread has been revived...
 

I forgot how funny these are! One of my recent faves, now that I have been working on my fuel tanks:

Q1: So the fuel is just contained by the aluminum?
A1: Yup.

Q2: How do you keep it from leaking out?
A2: It's Pro-sealed.

Q3: Where did you find such a person?

Oh the memories.... We need to refresh ourselves on these now that we're doing the RV-7A. During the Cozy building we got lots of "is that a boat?" questions.

We'll have to reprogram ourselves for Tuesday for the when will it be done question, we used Thursday for the Cozy.

My Daughter: Yeah, my Dad builds planes.

Her friend: What scale does he build?

My Daughter: Full scale.

Her friend: Wow! You could almost sit in one that big...



Someone from my neighborhood: You're the famous guy who's built a plane.

Me: Naw, that was Howard Hughes.

These are funny !
 

My neighbor just came over and we double flared a brake line for his '65 Chevelle. We walked right past the fuse and parts everywhere on the way to the vise in the depths of the basement shop.

He picked up a handful of angles and strips in the newly opened baffle box and said, "is this the left over stuff?" I said, no, those are the new parts, that is the way they come. - - eyebrows came up.

More like "yeah, I fly it however the girl in the right seat tells me to!"

Based on my experience, that's about right :D

Just read this thread to my bride ... She says: "you're building the airplane, you WIN."

Marring well has it's advantages ... and, did I say, she's from Hawaii?


Ohhh, yea. We all win!

Aloha!

Slight thread creep
 

When UK fighters were Tornados.

I had just got off the phone to my brother in New Zealand who had just told me about a tornado that had hit North Auckland and removed the roof from his garage business and flattened the little wooden settlers church across the road.

I relayed this story to my wife.

Wife's reply: Did the pilots eject OK.

That will teach me not to talk about aircraft all the time.
