I am already doing it. Aviation

Bonus Question:

Define "traveling". Kinda hard to go from one state to another without moving. I have taken many a day trip that crossed state lines.

Cave ?
Lewis and Clark Caverns in Montana
Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico

A mine ?
Have wandered around a mine or two. Montana has many of them

A Courthouse ?
Only for jury duty.

You got me on this one. Have been near but never on an aircraft carrier.

A submarine ?
Yes I have. I toured the USS Torsk at Baltimore and the USS Pampanito at San Francisco

A small prop plane ?
I am from Alaska. Need I say any more. I will anyway. When I was twelve I used to bum airplane rides from strangers.

Other ?
I have gotten in trouble more than once doing "other" things.

Extra Credit Question:

When do you think you will have to star mowing your lawn ?
Probably about the third week of some other month.

Just for Fun:

What is your favorite use for Mustard ?
Not a real big fan of mustard. Will add some to the mayo when making tuna salad.

Do you give the container a squirt in the sink before using ?
I do not give a squirt in the sink. I also do not squirt it in the fridge, on the floor, at my neighbor, or in the trash.

Do you prefer:
Yellow ?
or
Spicy Brown ?

Spicy Brown for the very rare occassion I use it.
