Lighthouse Tour...

So while we were on Tybee Island and Hilton Head Island we visited a couple of historic lighthouses. They were very interesting.  I climbed to the top of Tybee myself, because Terre didn't like the see-through staircase.  It was very hot inside, since the building is made of bricks AND mostly painted black.  We learned about daymarks.  No two of these are the same, so when a ship can see one, they can identify which one it is.  The one on Tybee was built in the seventeen hundreds and can clearly be seen from Fort Pulaski on the other side of the island. The tour through the keeper's house was well woth the price to see the antiques and how the family lived.

The one on Hilton Head is more modern, having been built in 1970.

Aviation Humor. A little obscure if you don't fly, but funny.

You might be a redneck pilot if:

Your cross country flight plan uses flea markets as check points.
You think sectional charts should show trailer parks.
Your toothpick keeps poking your mike.
You've thought about just taxiing around the airport drinking
beer.
You use a Purina feed sack for a wind sock.
You constantly confuse Beechcraft with Beechnut.
You think GPS stands for Going Perfectly Straight.
You refer to flying in formation as "We got us a convoy".
You have an orange airplane with a Union Jack on the side.
You've got a gun rack hanging on the passenger window.
You have more than one roll of duct tape holding your cowling
together.
Your preflight includes removing all the clover, grass, and wheat
from the landing gear.
You siphon gas out of your tractor to put in your airplane.
You've never really actually landed at an airport, although
you've been flying for years.
There are parts on your airplane labeled "John Deere".
There's exhaust residue on the right side of your aircraft and
tobacco stains on the left.
You have to buzz the strip to chase off all the sheep.
You've landed on the main street of your town for a cup of
coffee.
You fly to family reunions to meet girls.
You've won the "Bob Wire" award at a spot landing contest.
You have fuzzy dice hanging from the magnetic compass.
There are grass stains on your propeller tips.
The spittoon is wedged between the rudder pedals
Just before impact, you're heard saying "Hey, y'all, watch this!"

Listen

There's no place 'round the campfire for a quitter's blanket.

Tossin' your rope before buildin' a loop don't ketch the calf.

Polishing your pants on saddle leather don't make you a rider.

A closed mouth gathers no boots.

Don't name a cow you plan to eat.




Cowboy Silhouettes
Be thankful we're not getting all the government we're paying for.

Never miss a good chance to shut up.

Life is not about how fast you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.

Keep skunks, lawyers, and bankers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plough around the stump.

Forgive your enemies. It messes with their heads.

Don't sell your mule to buy a plough.

Don't corner something meaner than you.

It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

Most of the stuff people worry about never happens.

Don't squat with your spurs on.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Don't interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.

A wink's as good as a nod to a blind mule.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin'.

There never was a horse that couldn't be rode, there never was a rider that couldn't be throwed.

When in doubt, let your horse figure it out.
