Mike,
Too bad you can't folllow Greg Poe around for a while. My daughter had to do the same thing. But only for a day.

That's beautiful Bruce and funny too. We are all going to feel real bad if it actually turns out that the kid had a sleeping problem all along! Ha! He should follow you around. Have him come and make up an edition of a newsletter for the NW folks....? He can work doing something he likes and grow at the same time.

Heck Mike, let's just skip the work, how bout we just give you the car for three days and you bring it back and get full credit for the intervention! :4:Are you completely nuts? You would be asleep at the wheel, or...! It scares me to ponder the thought... After all don't forget your second nickname is "one-shot!" It might definitely improve your position with the girls though. I'll think it over....NOT. I do have a better idea, how bout I let you take the K1200 instead? You are okay right? It was just a small brain hemmorage... We'll be watching you pal!
Maybe we should give it a hook....say like, you pull off 1st place in unlimited, with at least three pilots in the class, and we'll consider letting you take one to lunch...
We're talkin a car here not a pilot! go....to....sleep.....

Mike I can't let you come with work to me unless I end up at Boeing field but you can simulate my work and most likely shadow one or more of my colleagues.

Day1: Go to Galvin at BFI, sit on the couch for 8 hours. Go home.
Day2: Go to Galvin at BFI, sit on the couch for 8 hours. Go home.
Day3: Go to Clay Lacy at BFI, sit on the couch for 8 hours. Compare notes on which FBO has the best looking counter girls. Go home, fill out expense report.

Be sure to wear a Blackberry on your belt for authenticity.

I think I have a Corvair available. Besides your Post # was 666, not a good sign. Sorry, no Vettes for you! I will be rooting for you, even though you might get a large dose of 'HUMBLE PIE," this season... practice hard and make sure your throttle is fixed... What's that noise......I hear a "Rooster" crowing...

I love your moxie dude.... just remember HUMBLE PIE, learn to spell it. It may become your least favorite dessert this season. You have stepped up to the big time pal. You have a field of outstanding flyers, all winners.... what will you do? At the very least you better be practicing every chance you can. I will bring tissue to wipe your tears. Besides, who knows if John's plane will even be ready. I hope so cause if he has to fly the 50cc again, then your hurtin for sure! Ha! Just kidding Michael. Go get em buddie, you definitely have improved measurably. Go...go...go..

Michael, in all seriousness, keep practicing and you'll give em a run for their money. You have developed into an excellent flyer. May "the force" be with you...
