As many of us are following the threads here involving the various degrees of how a post can be mis-read or how negative a positive comment is taken. I Will be off to help at a car wash for one of my JV Hockey players tomorrow. I have learned over the years that all kinds of people will have all kinds of opinions about what I say, how I say it and the aircraft that I work on. If I offer information, offer a comment or post a photo I subject myself to the opportunity to be criticized, thought a individual of questionable judgement and whatever else someone can conjure in their mind, whether stable or not. Usually this is not the case but it can happen at any time. Others will be little served nor will I change much if I run off my mouth or fingers to tell of my total dismay over some item, color, photo, request, food group or peer group that someone here is doing, touching or flying.
This weekend I will help run a car wash to help raise funds to support the family of a 15 yo hockey player who broke his neck wrestling an opponent who bothered him too much in a hockey game. Since june 14th his mom hasn't left the hospital where he is showing very slow recovery of the spinal cord injury suffered even after after 2 surgeries. Hopefully on Sun he will be up to a visit from his coach of a couple years. I haven't seen him since I helped him be lifted on a back board and lifted on a stretcher to leave the ice. This is every coach and parents nightmare.
Bill has given a way for those who offered to help out with his repairs. I wish I was in a position to help him. The best I could offer is my handiwork which is a bit out of the way and being performed by others who are closer.
