I had a friend who knew the Von Erich brothers well, his daughter married a guy from Montana and brought him home to Texas to meet her mom and dad (my friend Clint) and well, of course they took him out to a wrestling match. Part of the show was that two “bad” guys would gang up on one of the Von Erich brothers and start beating him up… poor Buster from Montana didn’t know it was fake so he grabbed a folding chair and started hitting the wrestlers with it.

Sometimes I wonder if me and Mike Ciholas are kinda like the wrestlers…

I don’t know either, but when a man employs a parable that begins with ‘I had a friend that had a brother that knew someone special that had a daughter that married a guy, and after all that, took him to Texas’, I start thinking I just need to get back on the tractor.

Del,

It’s a true story, the man’s name was Clint Woods. He worked with me at Big Tex Trailer, MFG in Odessa, Texas

He told me the story himself.

This thread, and many like it, remind me of the scene from Back To School where Rodney hired Kurt Vonnegut to write his term paper. The pissed off professor called him out and said whoever wrote that paper doesn't know anything about Kurt Vonnegut.

Mike Whitaker himself can come on here and try to set the record straight but it would be a waste of time. Some people refuse to admit they are wrong. I have no doubt those same people will tell the FAA Administrator that he doesn't know what he is talking about...

Michael, I know better than to judge based on an invoice. Way too many variables involved. But if you can determine what work was actually done from 5,000 miles away based on a sheet of paper, more power to you.


The invoice is just half the story - the other half has been reported in detail by someone I respect as being extremely precise.

And yeah, as a matter of fact, I can get a pretty good idea of the level of pencil whipping going on from a simple logbook entry or invoice, even 10,000 miles away ...

Wonder if the BT sponsors are secretly paying some folks to "air it out" to get clicks and create click bait and site traffic....... :peace:

Wait, one of them is....
