[R-390] Cosmos Dis-assembly

Those quart size containers we put in engine canisters didn't have any 
"Do Not Eat" labeling.

Then again, we weren't wearing helmets to skate, ride a bike, and other 
such.

That's like the dumb lawsuit when a guy tried to take a J-3 off on a 
CLOSED runway.  They even had a fuel truck broadside in the middle of 
the runway.

His wife sued Piper for not having a seatbelt.

Look, all us "old coots" are here today.  This is by definition that you 
are on the list.  Since they "started" over the last 10 to 15 years to 
include some sort of a desiccant to pills and some foods like packages 
of Beef Jerky, we are now getting bombarded with idiot warnings.

When I decide to work on my R-390A or the SP-600, I *ALREADY* know that 
there are voltages that could kill.

Good grief!  The 120VAC wall socket can kill you!  Just had the carpets 
cleaned.  We've been through this one before.  The carpet STAYS wet for 
hours.  (Yeah - Even Chem Dry!)  So the wife is standing on wet carpet, 
bare-footed, and starts to plug things back in.  I saw ONE finger on a 
SINGLE prong.  I didn't bother to check which one.  I stopped her.

It's part of life as time goes by.

Let's keep these old gals going!  (The R-390(X)s, the SP-600s, and yes, 
our wives!  Those of us still married are very comfortable and happy.

< Sure hope this doesn't start a FLAME over marriage/divorce!!! >

[ He whom makes homemade Kielbasa and bakes desiccant.  Even makes 
homemade Pierogi - AND FLIES still!  Just smaller acft ]
