dont tell me I am the only one that pulls dumb stunts...

As the subject line indicates.. dont tell me I am the only one that pulls dumb stunts or has close calls... I know someone else has to be pulling dumb dumbs too.

"You're the only one that pulls dumb stunts."

The rest of us are all perfect.

I'm thinking life would be boring without "adventures and learning opportunities"

VVERY STUPID ME:

a few sleeps ago i went to check an area for deer sign- stopped the engine and looked about for 15 mins then jumped back in and took off for the next palce .

Ashort while later and maybe 500 ft above the trees the engine started to cut out and stop and after the initial panic I saw id switched the fuel off on the last stop- i usually leave it on.

after what seemed like an eternity of cranking the electric start she roared into life but i was close to landing in the trees

id say that avid header tank had 5 mins in it which in this case was enough.

Id fallen into the old, getting distracted , complacency trap of not ddoing even a quick prestart check

As a young machinist, serving a 4-year Toolmaker apprenticeship, I had a boss who would never admit to ever making a mistake.

This man was a schoolteacher before becoming a foreman.

The old Journeymen Toolmakers told us that he was probably right: "A man who never does anything cannot make a mistake!"

"The good machinist learns from mistakes - his own and others'!"

I'm learning from Leni, and now you!!!! HA!

ED in MO (too old to remember mistakes!) 108 degrees here this week - promise of 100+ all next week - Fried my brain!

If you are in Celceas, THATS HOT! Guess about 40?

Hey Nic,

Your not the only one; See a few posts down on this section I posted "Getting Distracted". Almost the same thing but I hadn't gotten airborn yet.

Nick, If I said the wrong thing here, then I apologize. Hopefully, I have worried more since saying this than you have.

I hope that you and Leni know I was just joking, although it was in bad taste.

I sure dont want to discourage anyone from posting their mistakes, as it could keep someone else out of trouble.

Again, apologies for my bad choice of words. I think the heat was fogging my brain. No, it was not Bud Lite either!

Ed,

I laughed! Hope Nick don't mind, I know it is just a good poke!
