A local guy at my airport who has a fine twin Beech Baron asked why did I buy an old J3?

I said:
My right hand is the Starter, Auto Pilot, Auto Radio Tunner and Air Flow Director. My Left hand just rests on the throttle.. I Never have a dead battery and any fool can see the bright yellow. There is not enough gas to need a potty. The iPad has better navigation than a B767 jet. Like an old man-It will not come out of the hanger if it rains, is too hot / bumpy or windy. Unlike a women, this old man can push it around. It's California Tax exempt and burns 5gal an hour.

Two hours later he came by the hanger asking for a Battery Jump starter.... I just smiled... ;)
