Once went to the truck fueling point at Phoenix airport when I worked there, and a guy was sitting in a lawn chair on jet fuel soaked ground, with puddles of it around, dead man switch wired down while he waited for the truck to fill and smoke a cigarette. Said you couldn't ignite jet fuel with a cigarette. I just stayed out of range... A static spark can ignite jet fuel, happened plenty of times.

But is there any enforcement? NTSB only seems to put eyes on when there's a crash, and the FAA... checks paperwork. They sure put eyes on this one...

Morning Posers.

In about 12 hours from now I should have to W&@k day in and on my way to Iowa. Sadly not taking the bike. Can't fit Mama, the mutt, golf clubs and beer all on the bike.

No We go to Iowa this weekend. Arizona in November and Florida in March.

My Friends from Washington, who winter in Arizona just e-mailed me that they are now in Arizona and the weather IS AWESOME. I think that they were just trying to Pizz me off!!
