I bought a Chipmunk for my son.
My late father, chief engineer over 150 engineers and draftsmen and a gun designer came down on my ass.
"That gun has a firing pin galling the bolt. It was designed by an amateur. Take it back"

My wife took it back.


There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps
