I'm glad the "littlest" Briggs has found something that has driven him so strongly -- I hope it only leads to bigger and better things for him Give him a hug from us! Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money. Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Way back when, when i passed my checkride, I remember feeling alittle overwhelmed with all the possibilites and being "responsible" while PIC.
