Haven't done that one yet but on a similiar note......when shipping a part and the agent asks what's in the box, you say with indescribable pride loud enough so everyone within earshot can hear " aircraft parts." Never mind the clerk usually responds with a vacant or blank stare and shouts "NEXT".

I got caught pointing out the ugly round head rivets to my boss while boarding an ATR. The flight attendant asked "are you making fun of my aircraft?"

#74 Your hands and arms are permantly stained with ProSeal clear up to your elbows. (and your just as proud as a peacock about it!)
#75 You have ordered ScotchBrite and sand paper by the semi load.
#76 When figuring costs in the airplane you realize you spent more on UPS Next Day Air freight than parts, because you had to have it right now.
#77 You have offered to show your pilot buddy who flies a Cirrus SR-22 how to Bondo the seams and fill the elevator gaps to make it look alot better.
#78 You have enough aluminum scrap from "not good enough" parts that you can afford to drive 3 hours and take it to a aluminum salvage yard.
#79 You ask the Schwans man if he has any of those cool mixing sticks he would cut loose of.

#80 You know the stock number of the SOLO paper cups that DON"T have wax on them (for mixing epoxy), and know which Kroger stores have them!
#81 If you've ever repaired a home appliance with flush rivets, dimple dies, rivet squeezer, etc, etc....

After what seems like hours of bending and grunting under the panel, you finally get the xacto knife lined up to trim the cable and you notice that your finger that is supporting the cable will get cut too..... Oh well, skin will heal - just dont get blood on the carpet !

#63 - You have purchased more airplane project supplies than home project supplies at Home Depot, and wonder why the the name isn't 'Home Depot Aircraft Supply'.

#83 You keep coming up with ways to convince your wife that airplane parts are "investments", not expenses.
#84 Your dog doesn't get scared any more when your oil-less compressor kicks in.
