Now it's all digital. Same cr@p, they just don't have shipping costs now.


Columbia House! Eight 8-track tapes for just a penny! But yes lord, how expensive those original eight got over the course of time. My younger brother really got sucked into that one back in the day. I've no idea how much money he ultimately ended up giving that company. And 8-tracks. Didn't you love how they always seemed to have to switch tracks right in the middle of your favorite songs on the tape.

Yup...my brother did the same thing. By the time I was really all that into it, someone had come out with the auto-reverse cassette player, and that was the beginning of the end for 8 tracks.

Wow. Time flies...

I feel your pain. Sometimes us pilots just don't touchdown exactly as we should.
Hope it's a quick fix with very little down time.

All the best Wodin - falls can cause you some nasty injuries - usually in the home.

Once broke my foot falling over something on the floor, and my partner at the time fell over a rug and broke her shoulder!

@Robert - I'm glad you're doing well. Sorry to hear about the required Mule Kicker, but I'm happy to hear that with it you'll be with us a whole lot longer. Modern medicine is truly amazing.

@Wodin -Worst case I hop is just a cracked rib - they're wrap it up and send you home with pain killers. Just don't laugh or cough. I've done that one myself when I used to play American Football.

I hope you both get better quick and wish you both well.

Best,

James

Robert and now Wodin.

Get well soon. I'm glad you are both in such good spirits and I hope you both recover quickly and easily.

Doing the chores badly hasn't spared me any duties. I've been trying for years. "Very trying" says SWMBO

Hi Rob,
Sorry I'm late in on this.
It's good to know your home and taking things steady.
I'm just glad the 'Camel' first arrival didn't come recently cuss2

Hey Robert, I am just reading of your recent stint to get out of doing your chores at home and while I know you are a clever fellow, there must be an easier way to ditch those duties mate. Robert has also answered the call for help over on the WOTR thread when I asked him to do some special work on some Hurricane skins which I needed for my BOB AAR. He is a most giving person and has helped me in a selfless manner while refusing any payment for his time. Robert get well soon, and may you be Blessed with many more years to enjoy life Sir. Thanks for all that you do in both the WOFF & WOTR communities. You are the man!!!

S! Drew <><

P.S. the other special skin work you did will be appearing in future episodes, I just have had a very busy summer. Thanks again.

P.S.S. Mr. Woodin, hope you heal up quickly Sir.

Robert, i just noticed this thread (thank you kksnowsbear). I'm sorry to hear that you have been under the weather. How are you adjusting to now being part man and part machine? You might be interested to know that my father had the same procedure roughly 25 years ago, and he is still going strong at 91 years of age, along with at least one battery change! (I understand they no longer install a key in your back that has to be wound up on a daily or weekly basis).

If genetics is any indication, I'll probably have to go through the same procedure in a few years. In any event, I expect you are back on your feet and feeling better already! Hopefully, I will see you and Raine again when you come back to the next WWI fly-in event, whenever that may occur.

Take care and watch out for metal detectors!

Wodin, I hope you are feeling better already, as well!
