Bonus Question:
What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)? - I'm not sure if a Cessna 172 or a Cessna 182 would be considered unusual, but it's not something you see driving on a road everyday, unless you drive by a general aviation airport. I've flown them when I took flight lessons in 1989, plus heavy commercial airliner simulators with America West Airlines before they merged with US Airways.
Bonus Question: What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)? In my youth I worked at the Stockyards in San Antonio. I was sort of a utility man. I occasionally got to drive tractors and forklifts of various types. One was a snake like contraption for negotiating sharp turns down alleyways and such. If the tractor made it through all wagons would follow. Great contraption and fun. Ridden in a Cessna 172 or 182 as Mike mentioned. I forget which. Took a nice trip in a Hughes 500 D helicopter and a Navajo Chieftan plane. King Air i believe as well.

I had forgotten about driving a Caterpillar Bulldozer until today when traveling through some road construction. On the midnight shift we could get by with some play time once in a while. I ask if I could relive the operator for a few minutes being my department was down at the strip mine. He was all to glad for a break but what he didn't know was I was clueless as to how to do what. By the time he had gotten back I had built to high hills and deep holes that he had to level out.
I also did some aerial photography from a gyro-copter. Once was enough.

I came close to driving a D-6 Cat bulldozer I think it was. Unfortunately it came with driver to the ranch. I did use a Case and a Ford backhoe a few times. Drove a huge block truck around a track for about an hour. I then tested in it for my commercial license which as usual I passed first time.

Well, it must a been a monster because the D-6 or whatever it was was big. I knew the dude who drove it too. Big wide kid..his daddy was wide too. I mean wide not fat.
Today’s Questions:
Is there someone from your past that you regret having lost touch with? That is kind of a hard question. I don't think I regret having lost touch with anyone, but there are a few people that would be nice to find and reconnect with.
What made this person special to you? One was a friend in gradeschool, one was a guy I had a huge crush on, and one was an old boyfriend.
What would you want to happen if the two of you could be reunited again? I think it would just be nice to relive old memories. I would not have any big expectations.
Bonus Question:
What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)? I knew a lady that had some huge old jalopy of a vehicle that I reluctantly rode in a couple of times.
Just for Fun:
You have just won a 15-minute shopping spree. You can fill a shopping cart (trolley) with as many items as it can carry free of charge. What type of store would you choose and what items are you going you fill your cart with? The grocery store and I would fill it with meat because of the high price of meat.
