Gotta make sure your prison has conjugal visits.

I tell people here about Canadian prisons, they don’t believe me. Remember that guy who was convicted of hiring someone to kill his wife? Colin Thatcher or something? Turns out he brought his horses to prison with him. No shit.

In Canada if you kill someone, you’re out after 8 years of a “life” sentence. But you have to make real sacrifices, like playing at a 9 hole golf course.

“Steal a plane and meet one of those pen pal women that write to convicts?”

Actually, I wasn’t suggesting that all, but I admire your thinking outside the box. I understood your wife was the impediment to getting a loan. Plane? Wife? Life is all about choices

But back to the original topic.

I get to spend so much time at the hangar now. It’s kind of awesome.

Well, I guess you have outed me. I was using her as an excuse. I almost certainly won’t buy one.

Sorry OP.

Choices. The most important ones are the toughest. Almost always the easy choice is the wrong one.

All I know for sure is that almost everything I was told growing up, was wrong. Easy to make the wrong choices when you’re surrounded by people spouting nonsense.

It takes a big pair to do something different than everyone else. But those people are the winners.
