What you may not know is that he baked snickerdoodles before sewing the kobo sleeves….. I think he might be pregnant.

I love the power of RSS Tony, as you were commenting I was writing up just that flight in my next blog post! I hope that I made it look good from the ground, from the air it was quite sporty!

So did you get to fly tonight?

I was standing in the Aviation Museum parking lot aprox 20:30 when a Cherokee that sounded alot like yours flew overhead. I watched it fly a circuit and land on 27.

That sounds bad that I am enough of a geek to recognize a particular aircraft at night solely by the lights and sound.

The most important part is that your daughter is ok. Having an almost 18 year old teenager myself, I hear ya! We can teach them all we know about driving, the fact is….they’re the ones behind the wheel !

I’m always a bit nervous when Melissa takes the car, I know she’s careful but they’re still vulnerable. As for experience…..well, that comes with practice and time.

Like Tony said, just bent metal. Better to learn the inevitable lesson this way, than standing over a bent person after not looking when turning *right* on a green light.

My lesson came from a bent tree when I was 16.

Some metal got bent but at least nobody got hurt!

I am reminded of when I sat beside my 17-year-old daughter as she drove my old Subaru Forester up the ramp onto the Queensway. She decided to “race” an OC Transpo bus across the bus lane. Old Subarus do not accelerate as quickly as an 17-year old girl might think they do. OC Transpo buses do not yield either.

I had no controls on the co-pilot side of the vehicle so I could not act instructor-like and calmly say “I have control”! All I could do was act Dad-like and yell at her. Teaching people to fly does not cause grey hair. Raising teenagers causes grey hair.
