    I did, now I have to go get them. Hope they will fit in my Maule, I'd hate to have to strap them under the wings as I bet the CBP idiots would have a fit.

    Pilot of a vintage Seaplane (think it was a Goose) with US Navy markings had a couple of external fuel tanks that were dummy'ed up to look like bombs under his wings.

    Do not go gentle into that good night.
    Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
    Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

    I can't remember who the cave diver was who put the "Radioactive" sticker on his scooter - someone in law enforcement failed to see the humor.

    Whoever said money can't buy love never bought a puppy.

    I got them today, I was expecting due to the price, 200 CF bottles, but these are the bigger, longer and way heavier 300 CF bottles. Pictures are for the naysayers that said it could be done, never doubt the mighty Maule

    Years ago one of our ER staff put a "BIOHAZARD" sticker on somebody else's locker. The Housekeeping, Environmental Services, and Infection Control departments were not at all amused. The bureaucratic overreaction was amazing to behold. If cooler heads had not prevailed, we would have had a team of technicians in tyvek bunny suits and respirators sanitizing the whole locker room. (No, I was not involved, except as an innocent bystander!)

    The over reaction and zero tolerance thing has gotten way out of hand. Years ago when my wife worked at Richmond Hill elementary a kindergarden kid was expelled from school because he brought his GI Joe and it's toy gun to school, and of course the school had a zero tolerance for weapons.

    Zero tolerance policies are the worst thing to happen to institutions. If we Let Common sense prevail we could avoid many unfortunate situations coused by zero tolerance policies.

    I don't know about that. I have zero tolerance for stupid and it has been working very well for me. I have no friends unless they want something from me, I fire every person the boss hires but I can't fire him (I have tried), and I dive solo most of the time unless I need someone to be mobile bailout for me.
