Ken,
That's what you say now, but once you no longer have to do it for a living it will seem like much more fun. Remember how much fun you had writing code before anyone started paying you for it? Many people I talk to ask me why I don't fly for hire, and the answer is simple. I don't want to take the fun out of it. As soon as you start doing something you love for money the love for it starts to wear off.

Ed,
Welcome to my world.
Well the part about the one line of code not the other aircraft stuff.
Such is the life of a Software Engineer.
I have always found the best way to improve code is to remove some.
The more you remove the better it works. :o)

Turns out I changed ONE line of code this morning before taking it out and had not bothered to check it on the laboratory pulse meter. I mean it was a very simple change {:>).   It didn't work on it any better back at home than it did on the aircraft.  But, it was a relief to know it was a simply code screw up.  Eliminated that line of code and all is back working.
 
So what started out to be a bad day (relatively speaking) ended up pretty nice.
