Forgot to add,
take up the hobby of being a car enthusiast, like Jay Leno. Except I don't necessarily want the commonly classic cars, I would want movie cars. Things like the Optimus Prime Kenworth, the 1976 Bumblebee Camaro, the 1992 Jurassic Park Wrangler, the 1969 General Lee Charger. I don't want the originals. I want to find a base car and re-create them myself with my own tweaks & adjustments (like dropping a V-10 Viper engine into the Charger).

Bought a couple tickets on the way home from the airshow Sunday afternoon. My only goal would be to move up to something that burns Jet-A. A Pilatus PC-12 would do the trick. Decent short-field performance and will haul damn near anything you can fit in it.

Don't have the lottery in the same sense up hither, but if I had a ticket and won, I'd definitely pay off the outstanding debts and get outta the mess that's about to get created...
I thought those came with the private jet.
You're getting married? Congratulations!

Not getting married, but looking at relocating for a new job in the next month and the house I'm currently in has about a 5% chance in getting sold to cover the mortgage...

I think, if I won, I'd stay in the same house, but buy a lot to hold all the bicycles I would buy. Oh! And I'd hire whoever it is that makes celebrities skinny.

^ i think a lot of that is they spend hrs in the gym every day. when you have to actually work for a living finding that much time for working out is hard.

The first thing I am going to do is to add this to my e-mail signature:
"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. ..."
I am going to keep working just to have fun with all the a$$holes I have dealt here, specially the morons that think they are entitled to insult you because they are costumers. Then, whenever I think it has been enough fun, will resign.
Heck...I like that quote so much that will make the change right away!!!

A guy comes home and asks his wife what she would do if they won the lottery. She says I would just take my half and leave. Guy hands her a $10 bill and tells her, "I just won $20 on a scratch off. Pack your stuff and get lost".

I need a beer.
^I was going to ask if that was you that had the winning ticket. Looks like we didn't win either. Maybe we got the powerball...
