Goodly afternoon all... Smiley

Beautiful cold clear winters day here with just enough wind to move the ice sail boats along at a good speed out on the bay and the river.

The old girl and I were at one of the local bugsmasher fields yesterday and I couldn't believe what I heard.

First:

Some power to be wants us to have a vendors permit to sell our chips and pop in the club house and to buy the stuff.
Give me a break, we give more away than what we sell and that is just not going to happen.

We buy the stuff when it is on sale from the grocery stores, we don't make a profit...

Secondly:

We are not supposed to smoke in the club house even if we are all smoking members and the only one's there.
Give me a break...that is not going to happen either.

Thirdly:

There has always been several Aviation Technicians, Mechanics or Grease Monkey's what ever you want to call them drop in to do work on our members own aircraft.

Now it seems many want the individual member to book  maintenance through the company and deliver the aircraft to the company location which are mostly at larger airports.
Most of the time the aircraft will have to be left for a week or so.
Humbug!
Those Insurance Companies are behind this one I tell you... Tongue

Next, just wait and see, we won't be able to put up our Traditional Christmas Tree for the children's Christmas Party, don't laugh, Federal and Provincial Government Buildings have not been able to put up a Christmas Tree for years here.

Only in Canada...you say...pity... Lips Sealed
 

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Fight the power, Doug Wink

We call those bureaucrats the "Fun Police". They have to make up rules and regulations to justify their positions using the fines leveled against us to pay their salaries. If they don't keep making up rediculous rules that they can fine us for not following they are essentially cutting their own throats. So the rules keep coming regardless of common sense Wink
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Smiley Here in Cambridge, we have to call it a holiday tree, but they do put up a nice one. There can't be an angel at the top, nor anything that may offend any race, sex, or creed.
  The ministry of saftey has us wearing so much crap that we need courses on how to remove that equipment if someone takes a cramp or gets injured.
  We worry about having a snowball fight with our kids, lest some biddy watching reports us for teaching violence to our children.
  So to sum it all up, in my mind, I am glad I'm over 60 now and I can call most things.. Water off a ducks back.  Smiley

There should be a rule for people who make  rules: Quit making them unless they're asked to make them.
 

The guy behind this displayname is not a pilot but has flown small craft like Cessnas and Pipers and is truly addicted to being airborne...he's not sure if the stage or the pilot seat is more fun, so he'll try and keep getting to both.
