Whew, you really do some travelling.

And right, we can't keep dumping our stuff like old ship hulls on the 3rd world, even if they're begging for the business. It's killing them, not to mention mother earth eventually. The U.S. can no longer export them like that, if we're following the law. We have to hazmat it, but everyone else continues.

When I was in Port Harcourt Nigeria and Takoradi Ghana last year the cloud from the cars and truck emissions was worse than LA 10-20 years ago. Accra Ghana was even worse and I spent 2 days after spending one just trying to clear my lungs. Ended up sick for a week after that. Rayong Thailand was the same way when I was there.

Thumbs up Trades

Apprenticeship can be hard, and takes some time. Just remember that it is like college for the trades. All of us know that you must invest in education if you want to get ahead in life.

Work hard and Good Luck

Aircraft paint is Good Stuff! Hard washup, sticks like glue. Is it an epoxy or what?

I painted Donna's tack shed with a two-part paint excessed from the P-3 Orion paint shop. It is like armor and is lasting longer than the house paint. I should have grabbed another ten gallons for the house because it prolly costs a fortune. Next time.

I chuckle whenever i think of that 'ol tack shed painted the light blue/gray military aircraft color. Looks more fitting for a baby's room, instead of a macho Brown. But excellent paint.

Congrats on the part-ownership, I wish you success.

jr182pilot Doesn't your plane need a paint job?
