Are You "The Joneses"?

[Homeboy981]

We are "THOSE PEOPLE" on our block. We used to have a motocross track in our back (5 acre) yard. My MX buddies came from all over to ride. We used to have our neighbors standing at the fence watching. A few even brought their horses over…to get them used to loud noises. Doc said no more MX. I took up flying and the neighbors hated that, wife didn't like it either, so it was short-lived.

Now I play guitar and drums - and no one comes around….except when I fire up the Pcar! By then, I'm gone!

I have not kept up with them, I have LAPPED the Jonses!

Why would your neighbors care about you flying? Flying is my escape from worldly troubles, nothing else disconnects me from all the BS on the ground the way taking to the air does. If my neighbors had an issue with it, I'd tell them to pound sand. It took me decades to find a girl that understands my aviation sickness, but I knew that I'd never last in a marriage with a partner that didn't get it...

I like Mrs. Jones. Does that count ?

My neighbors might try to steal my Boxster, but I'm pretty sure they'd never go out and buy one!

The only thing I'm Jones-ing for is to get my Boxster out of winter storage and start driving it again!
