My birthday is Wednesday this week. Since I'll be out of town on a work-related trip, my wife gave me an early birthday present (heh heh).
And besides that, she also gave me a gift certificate for a biplane ride. The photo is not the actual plane, but the one I'm going on is the same year and model.
A 1943 Boeing Stearman trainer.My wife wasn't sure if I wanted to do barrel rolls so she didn't buy that option. But HECK YEAH I want to do barrel rolls. This is going to be fun.
Follow Ups:
You should try a loop or two in an open cockpit plane. Great fun!
Barrel rolls maybe, but nix on the wing walking.
If you paid extra for that option you may want to forfeit the cash and accompany the plane back to the ground.
will you bungie??:-)
Come up to me with your 'what did you say?' and I'll tell you straight in the eye: DIY

Later Gator,
Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.Eagles may soar, but weasels do not get sucked into jet engines.

....... Happy Damned Birthday for Wednesday.Enjoy your plane ride/roll
Smile

eat bananas before you go up and start rolling. I'm given to understand this is advice given to many neophyte flyers. Mostly because bananas taste the same coming back up as they did going down.
If that doesn't seem to be a problem for you then --- nevermind

........I'm sure there is a joke here somewhere but I'm not gunna go there.Smile
Happy Damn Birthday, Grover! Have a great ride! Where is this week's boondoggle? Seattle?
Did I miss much?Well, Seattle will be in late April. A trip that I always look forward to. This year going with one of our Project Managers and hopefully will give him a better idea as to what the software can actually do for him. I haven't been 100% successful.
This week's trip to to a city almost as nice as Seattle -
San Jose, CA.I get to take the companies Pontiac Grand Am, spend two nights including my birthday at the Courtyard by Marriott, and spend a day and a half in software training classes.
This is how a middle aged white dude has fun I guess. :~)
I'll go to the bar and have a good bourbon though.
won't be there. I saw him do a brief guest appearance on a show the other day and almost called you.Anyway, in the movie one of the wannabe astronauts (played by Tommy Lee Jones) is whiling away his time in a little plane like that, giving people thrill rides at a remote dusty little airport that looks like it might have been in my area. So this excited customer wants a real thrill ride for his birthday......and winds up barfing all over the cockpit.
Have you ever seen him live?? He is even better live than
on TV. Especially the knitting needle through the arm bit..
when we went to CES. Great show. Grover almost got a "free" $100 bill, only to be foiled when Amazing Jonathan showed us why he is amazing.

his assistant, "Psychic Tina".She bends well.
