Ya I thought those video pictures of the custom agents beating on him with rubber wands...were good action shots.... great photography... real clear and explesive...and of course the sound was real clear... you could just hear the smack of the hoses on his body... and the clairity... wow.. the one kept saying ... the beating will contenue until you get it right.... of course that was not the TC customs people that was our own... at FLL .... welcoming him back to the states... after larry regained consciousness... and was helped back to his plane... I thought wow... now their is a guy that loves and can take a real beating/punishment... their is no doubt that larry is a good skilled pilot... its also also probaby why he doesn't move real fast anymore... something about the pain factor... but then again with all that pain killer medicine... no wonder he has a hard time seeing and figuring out where he is... let alone how high he is flying... his wife said on a phone interview... even sitting in his chair... as he sits their for hours druling and making airplane engine sounds... he probably feels high... almost every on of them pill he is taking for the pain...no low powered stuff for larry... only the best for him which he now includes in his pre-flight actions... if they are not on the sergons generals list of what not to take before flying... their not strong enough... but, Larry being the skilled pilot he is...is tough... and he keeps 'em gussing if he took his pain pill before flight or after he gets back... because they go for hours and days...

but, wait.. he gets home and the beatings contenue... with his flight instructor... "I just don't see how he keeps it up..." said his wife... "I too had to go get one of them no marking rubber hoses made by good year..." as she contenued ..."he has gotten to the point that I have to contenually whip him back into shape.. when he gets home..." now that is a real good wife.. to take the time to help him get back into shape... wow... I picture play dough.. but as his wife said...in her excellent discription..." no..no... more like a lumpy batch of pancake mix... shaking like its experancing a 6.0 earthquake...." as she contenued....." somewhere in the mix is larry..."

No wonder we never hear from him... he never gets on and writes much any more... when we asked his wife... why she said..."probably because of all them broken fingers ... when he tried to reach out and touch someone..."... "but, his skill level IS... improving..." she went on to say "he now can dial the phone with the pencil in his mouth... to push the button..."

she added..." now if he can train the duck to type on the computer... not being like the chicken which used to go after the corn kernal... causing the key to be pushed... the duck... isn't intrested in pecking that hard... something about it hurts it beak... when asked about what happened to the chicken... his wife replied "...oh the chicken flew away with the cat... after larry made the mistake of instead of the kernal of corn gave it some of his pain killers...as he probably couldn't tell the differance between them..." so the duck is now it...and larry... feeling it was in pain... gave it one of his pain killers too..." She contenued..." but, it started to act strange also...because it likes to do the back stroke laps across the living room floor...".. when asked about the dog... she said..."the dog just sits in the corner and growls... when ever the duck starts looking at it... in that special way... after taking one of Larrys pain killer..."... when asked how strong they were.. she replied..." must be pretty good... as he doesn't require much maintance...at night... he just sits their in front of the TV ... all night watching the test patterns and thinks they are flight instruments in his plane......" She chuckeld...." one night something happened to the TV set... and the horzontal hold got off whack and went sideways... and larry fell out of the chair... yelling mayday... mayday... were going down... where the hell is ATC when you need them..."... she said that he took her hose and went into the dungon and beat himself up for hours..."

She contenued " I enjoy helping him contenue to develope his skill level... I gave some thought about remodeling one of the rooms off the den... but, found larry doesn't take up much room... and besides why waist the money remodeling the dungon..." she said... " I found the perfict place for him...after I removed the brooms ... he fits well in the closet... a little padding and sound proofing so the yelling doesn't starttle and keep the neighbors awake at night... I think it will work out well... for him..." she said... " by next year he should be well trained".... Hmmmmm now thats interesting... keep up the training their larry...
