Aircraft Maintenance This may be making the rounds in cyberspace, and I don't often read much less enjoy this chain mail type stuff, BUT this is so hilarious I had to post it here. If it's real, that 's cool - if it's not, I love the sense of humor of the person who put it together. Either way it made my morning. ******************** Remember it takes a college degree to fly a plane, but only a high school diploma to fix one. Reassurance for those of us who fly routinely in our jobs. After every flight UPS pilots fill out a form called a “gripe sheet,” which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form and then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight. Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are some actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots (marked with a P) solutions recorded (marked with an S) by maintenance engineers. By the way, UPS is the only major airline that has never, ever, had an accident. P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement. S: Almost replaced left inside main tire. P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough. S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft. P: Something loose in cockpit. S: Something tightened in cockpit. P: Dead bugs on windshield.

nudges 12.26.07 I am so happy and very grateful for: 1) One of the most pleasant holiday seasons in a very long time, connecting with friends in ways that made it special; 2) Being invited to share a holiday meal by my ex's wife. She rocks the house, and it was an interesting dynamic at the table with former in-laws and present extended family; 3) Venus with Peter O'Toole, Buena Vista Social Club with some fabulous musicians and setters of example on how to enjoy life, and Enchanted April with an Italian setting and the transformational powers it possesses; 4) Anticipation and savoring, that gets the chi moving; 5) Clarification of what I want, peeling away the layers, identifying new things on the horizon; 6) The purely psycholigical line in the sand of a new year upon us, such a sweet drawing near.
