Not quite a quote but related

After every flight, Qantas pilots fill out a form (gripe sheet), which conveys to the mechanics, problems encountered with the aircraft during the flight, that need repair or correction. The engineers correct the problem, and then respond in writing on the lower half of the form, with the remedial action taken, and the pilot reviews the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews and engineers lack a sense of humour.
Here are some logged maintenance problems from pilots and solutions recorded by maintenance engineers.
(P = The problem logged by the pilot) (S = The solution and action taken by the engineers)
P: Left inside main tyre almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tyre.

P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.

P: Something loose in cockpit.
S: Something tightened in cockpit.

P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.

P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.

P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what they're there for.

P: IFF inoperative.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.

P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.

P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.

P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to straighten up, fly right, and be serious.

P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.

P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.

P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget.

here are a few of my favorite things

"A conclusion is simply the place where somone got tired of thinking" -Aurther Block-

"Books are weapons in the war of ideas" -Ramsey& Sleeper-

" The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas never returns to its original size" -Oliver Wendell Holmes-

"I have a friend who told me that the best computer system ever built was by the Druids at Stonehenge. Well, that's an old story. But what I liked was that he felt that the Druids didn't die out, they just went bankrupt trying to debug the software." -James Finke-

And my favorite words to live by:

"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it not be for present delight nor present use alone. let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, "See! This our father did for us."" -John Ruskin-

Two from good ol' Dad...

"There are two people in this world that don't have leaky soldered joints. People that don't solder, and plumbers that lie..."

And,

"If you don't learn something new everyday, you were either "A", gone fishin', or "B" not paying attention, and if you were "A", gone fishin' and you didn't learn something new, you "B" weren't paying attention."

Not a day goes by that I don't miss that man...

Thanks Dad!!

Quotes

Two of my favorites:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” -Calvin Coolidge


"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

The definition of insanity is, doing things over and over the same way, and expecting different results.

Paranoia, from Scroedinger's Cat.

"Just because you aren't paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you"

Another from the above book.

"You have absolutely no choice in whether you read this or not. If you were meant to be somewhere else, doing something else, that's where you would be".

Question or a quote?

Altho my mother used to frame this as a question it really was a quote.

When my brothers and I would be in the back seat of the car we would perform cute little games. These games usually involved fists, sticks or rocks.

As she would be driving down the road and we began our festivities in the back seat she would calmly ask us
"Would you boys like your beating now or when we get home?"

That would be the quote that most sticks in my head.

Heard a good one this morning, from a very successful real estate developer. He stated that the secret to success is
"To Work hard and be Nice" Pretty simple right?
