Default Very surprised myself,

but last week I took up a flower arranging class at the local community college. It was taught by a very dashing young man named Hectore!
Anyway as it turns out I have quite the ability he says and so I have made a big decision that I wanted to share with you...I am giving up Gyros forever. They are always breaking down and require too much work to keep flying and frankly I never really felt comfortable in the role of pilot. So I am selling both my Bensen and Brock machine to make way for my new flower baskets.
I'll still check in on the board from time to time.
Wish me well!!
Dave Bacon

Hey, today is not April 1st!!
Well at least arranging flowers won't be as expensive as gyros....

Hey Dave, you will have so much money, you can pay someone to work on your gyro's.
Good Luck. George Charlet had a flower business and did very well.

Default Dave, you will have to push those flower baskets

aside so you have room to install the expansion chambers on my gyro this winter !
And also what will I do with the expansion chambers when I am through flying since without a gyro you won't have a need for them ?

And finally, you give up gyros? That'll be the day , just like I won't give them up until father time says it's time to quit.

Everything that goes up is expensive and time consuming. I think he woke up.

Thanks

Wow. That is a big decision Dave. But the way I seeing it you are the only one who really knows what makes your hearth feel good. If it's flowers....hey more power to you! I'd hate to see you go since you are part of my reason becoming a gyrohead. I had watched videos of you and Ron Awad yanking and banking and I knew I wanted to try it. So for all what its worth I am sad to see you go but also happy to see you being happy with something new you have found. And than again you can always stray back if you turn out to be allergic to friggin tulip pollen

Although I never met him, I've read most of Dave's posts and this one doesn't sound the same….I think he is pulling a fast one, setting back and smiling…..
