Page 3 - Why doesn't someone say "yes?"

     One early summer day in 1952, there is an ad in a paper called "Trade a Plane."  There would be a Piper Vagabond for sale. I would inquire about the airplane, but could not afford the down payment or monthly payments. Time will tell, maybe something will come up. I continue with dreams about going up to Montana in my own airplane, but all the dreams end in dissappointment.
     I'm now living at the San Mateo Airport.  I service amny private airplanes every day, and I would see a number of airplanes every day.  I would see a number of airplanes that i would like to own, but "if wishes were fishes, we would all take a swim." With the pay that i get I can never ever afford an airplane.
     One day, I would see an airplane I would like to have.  I liked it so well I wanted to actually kiss it!  I was falling in love with it.  I was visiting with the owner about what this airplane would cost when my wife comes running down between a row of parked planes, laughing and saying "See what I got?"  It would be a letter about the Vagabond I wanted to buy and couldn't afford. The owner would now sell it for half the down payment and cut the monthly payments in half! It is possible, I think, I can get this airplane.  I would meet a pilot from England that flew at the San Mateo airport, and it would end up he would go get the airplane for me. It would be setting in the door of a silver mine at Globe, AZ. The dreams continue and as all dreams I never can make a successful flight to Montana.
     I bought the Piper Vagabond. It was like I had a new friend to go with a new and little friend.  "How much is that dog in the window? I do wish that dog was for sale." He was for sale, and  I needed a flying partner.  This shepard cocker spaniel dog would be named "Pilot" and he would fly with me for eleven years.
     Now, just maybe, I will be able to make a flight to Montana and show off this little jewel. I will carefully plan everything it will take to make this flight. Everyone tells me no, that I will not have enough fuel range to make certain legs of the flight nor will I have the experience. Why doesn't someone say yes?
