Hey šŸ‘‹ all - a few days ago - I decided to start writing my memoirs - so made a pledge to myself to write a page or two per day - many people have asked me to start such a venture for many years - since my life has been full of wild and crazy experiences internationally - and if I can keep it up for a year or more - it will leave a nice legacy for my family to know what I have been thru during my life - and also for any other interested members/people - who would like to know about me -

There will be much sex and drugs and rock and roll - as I reveal many of the times and experiences that have shaped me -

If any of you can get into the VIP Lounge - that is where I have started to preview some of my writing efforts - starting with - 'Smugg'lin Stories' - since that's what I did for many years - way back when - amongst other things - here is the link -

If I started writing about myself they would throw away the key!

OK. I just gotta post this as a Pubic Serious Announcement:

I just sent a long note to MySonTheDoctor who flies from Oregon to Floriduh a few times a year to visit his mama and me. I told him to not fly on any Boeing airplane. PERIOD.

It was about the deadly danger of Boeing planes. Here it is:
--------------------------------------------------------

It was a company merger in 1996 -- with the EXACT equivalent result airplane-wise with what you know and experienced has happened to the Medical profession: Bean counting and to hell with humanity ā€“ that includes the hospital staff and the patients all together.

Scooter: All of this is important for you to know. Honestly ā€“ no hyperbole.

At about the 9-minute mark, you can see how the hospital aircraft bean-counters changed the way they operated hospitals designed and built planes after the McDonnell-Douglas merger:

The exact job I used to do at IBM ā€“ going to each supplier of IBM parts worldwide, and checking to ensure whatever parts the supplier made, and how the suppliers required their employees to follow proper quality procedures were firmly in placeā€¦ Was eliminated to cut costs from airplane manufacturing so the bean counters could use the money to boost the stock price.

Boeingā€™s merger REMOVED ALL quality control from all manufacturing of the design, parts, and assembly of aircraft.

Watch the whole thing. Please. You have the time.

One note: You have heard of a ā€œdoor plugā€ that popped out on takeoff. That ā€œdoor plugā€ was a huge frigginā€™ DOOR. Had the plane been at altitude, and the passengers not wearing seatbelts, they would have been out the door. The door was missing the bolts that held it on. They checked other planes after the incident. Yup. More fucked up doors on other planes.

There are planes flying where hotel cards were used as critical shimsā€¦ and hand soap used as lubricantā€¦ andā€¦ wait: Here's the best:

ALL people working at building a Boeing aircraft sign off on their OWN WORK as being OK. TINS

Take the damn' time (it is interesting anyway) and watch this:

My first job out of college eventually led to me being the process engineer and shop manager in an optical shop making parts for the military and NASA. The owners didnā€™t like the rejection rate the quality assurance manager was overseeing so they fired him and made me interim QA manager. I knew that was wrong(and told them so but they didnā€™t care and shielded themselves by saying it was ā€˜interimā€™)and it took an audit from none other than McDonald Douglas to put the kaibash on that nonsense. Oh, and the sales manager, who was the son-in-law of the president/owner, would pass failing parts after I told QC techs to reject. Way before ISO standards.

I worked as an NDT technician in FPI and X-ray in aerospace for a while and came to believe that sometimes craftsmen send shit through to see what they can get away with.

Yep, NDT is an interesting trade. And youā€™re right. Sometimes they will just see if it sticks sending substandard work in for approval. Iā€™m afraid things are just gonna get worse with the trade experience we have now.

My first job was breaking down, split room tires off of big trucks with a sledgehammer and a prybar. I was the only young white kid in the entire building and I felt like a square peg in around the hole. I made it till lunchtime and said, screw this. Split rims will break your face in a heartbeat. My next job was driving a freight truck through the five boroughs in New York. I could write a book on that job alone.

Lettuce​

There was a boy who worked in the produce section of a super market. A man came in and asked to buy half a head of lettuce. The boy told him that they only sold whole heads of lettuce, but the man replied that he did not need a whole head, only half. The boy explained that he would have to ask the manager and so he walked into the back room and said, "There is some jerk out there who wants to buy only a half a head of lettuce." As he finished saying this, he turned around to find the man standing right behind him, so he quickly added, "And this gentleman wants to buy the other half." The manager okayed the request and the man went on his way. Later on the manager said to the boy, "You almost got yourself in a lot of trouble earlier, but I must say I was impressed with the way you got out of it. You think on your feet and we like that around here. Where are you from, son?" The boy replied, "Minnesota, sir." "Oh, really? Why did you leave Minnesota?" inquired the manager. The boy replied, "They're all just whores and hockey players up there." "My wife is from Minnesota", exclaimed the manager. The boy instantly replied, "Really! What team did she play for?"
