My apologies.  I know you've been in school for as long as I've been on this list.  Does this program ever end?  
No problem, I just didn't want to hurt my credibility by being associated with a mere tech :-).....  just a bit of intertrade ribbing of course! I'm currently in my final year... unless I get an opportunity to get my dual ticket, then it will be another 2 years of electrical.  7 years... I could've been a doctor, but I have no people skills.(no patience for patients)
 
One good thing about the broken ribs is that you'll get a break from the home construction projects.  
Nah, I was still out there for a few hours last night, building roof trusses.(read previous comment about being well medicated)
 
Good news/bad news.  The good news is that I just helped the Canadian economy.  The bad news is that I did it by ordering a new O-360 engine from Aerosport in Kamloops, BC.   It was a bargain, "only" $21,200.  Unfortunately, that's US, not Canadian.  
Arrggh, you really did go over to the dark side. Well Bart does have an excellent reputation for quality engines which says allot considering with what he has to work with. Hopefully everything goes well with it. I'm not sure if his US price is affected by the exchange rate or not, as our dollar is at it's highest in many years right now. ($.86 vs. $.63 when I was building) Since he has to buy all supplies in US$, I doubt it actually affects his US selling price much. Not that any of this really eases your pain in the wallet at all.
