Pilots know everything. I used to be one for awhile.
(Edit) Shit happens as pilot-in-command. I could tell you some scary stories. That's why I always carried a little pliers in my flight bag, I could tune the NavGear that had broken knobs.
Still didn't prevent me from accidently flying into controlled airspace.
Ann Arbor approach: 757RN, we don't see you. Do you see two intersecting runways?
757RN: That's affirm, I see two runways... Three, four, five runways. Stand by one...
Ann Arbor approach: 757RN turn left immediately heading 270, maintain altitude!
757RN: I already did that Ann Arbor.
FWIW, I was flying into Willow Run, south of Detroit, I think. That was back in the bad ol' days before GPS.
That's another good question. I spent 40-some years as a 24 year old and all the sudden folks are telling me that if I don't "cool it" I'll end up paralyzed in a nursing home.
Hey, those guys were why I only bought Canadian silver and gold. I figured that I had a better chance with the Mounties than with the IRS goons with M16/4s and MRAPS. Been there, done that before.
My buddy asked me how much I was paying my lawn-guy the other day when he trailered back a wood chipper that I never wanted to see again.
Dickhead: How much you paying that kid (45)?
Me: 18 bux,
D: You said you were paying him in silver before. That was your cost?
Me: Yeah, for two ounces.
D: What's that worth today?
Me: I dunno, If I was going to sell it, I might get $23/oz before shipping and handling and hassle. His cost to buy might be $32-40 in- hand, we're both doing OK.
D: He's gonna have his buddies take you hostage to get the rest.
Me: So what? Then I'll take their guns away from them and kill them.
GodAlmighty, why is everybody so afraid of death now? It would be a great relief to me now, but I'm too much of a coward to do it to myself, not to mention the Creator's thoughts on that.
I'm starting to be a little nonplussed with Odin at this point.
