18 years old and decided to take my girlfriend Terri on a camping trip. Piper 140 out of Monroe. Saw a grass strip on the charts at campground at Jordan Lake. I figured perfect. Never thought to ask for a little local knowledge. Turns out no one had bothered to mow the runway in two years.
Of course on the low pass it all looked well. Green is green right? No ruts, no power lines, no cows or goats.
Easy approach, perfect flare, settle in to waist high grass, and we are mowing down the grass runway like a side sickle on a John Deere tractor.
Did not expect that, and the campers didn't expect someone to land in their backyard.
Made some friends and traded water skiing behind a brand new Chris-Craft for a tour around the lake. My God the man trusted me to fly himself and his two kids around the lake. Some shirtless wanna be NAVY pilot 3 weeks before heading to Annapolis with about 200 hours of flight time.
Might have made three or four trips up and down out and back. Flawless other than the grass mowing aspect.
All ego and no experience - Thank You Jesus!

Cedar, looks like you’re getting your Twitter account back soon.
Pledge fund?
Where’s Nancy?!! 🔨
Hey TZ, everyone knows you are the pledge fund guy, it’s old dude. It was funny the first 300 times you posted it, now it’s just obnoxious.
What's the story about Major Cecil?
This a new story about Cecil or the old one about him getting a BJ on duty with no punishment.
???
9:06… if you believe that “where’s Nancy” narrative your stupid and need to get other job. First off, you think the response time for SFPD is that quick? Ummm no. Secondly, look at the video from the scene… the broken glass is on the outside (like someone broke the window out, not in). 3rd if the 42 year old was in a struggle for the hammer with an 82 year old… that 82 year old must have some good jeans. What 42 year old you know can’t get the better of an 82 year old??. My opinion, Nancy was away and little Pauly wanted some sausage…. Something went wrong and now they want to make it political. Not buying it bro. Who else agrees with me?
Anon 1000, you are aware the assailant took the hammer from Pelosi's husband right? That fact isnt in dispute, also the assailant already admitted he was looking for the Speaker.

@1:51pm. Really? He told you that himself? Clown
Let’s release that beautiful body cam footage!!! Or is there only a demand for that when a black man gets killed?
Cedar that's awesome! Can't imagine it was cheap even back in the day. Wish I'd done that when I was young.
