You'd have gotten a kick from watching the guy this past summer who
tried three times to get up enough airspeed to take off -- with a
completely flat tire.

As anal as I am during preflight, I've left wheel chocks all over the
northeast and southeastern US.

Someone actually looked up the tail number and mailed one set back to
us. They're simply 2x4's diagonally ripped and paired up with a rope,
so we're guessing someone wanted to break our balls. G

I haven't left any in Canada, yet!

damn... reminds me of my constant problem with the RV trailer....
You put a 4 x 6" under the tongue jack and jack it up... then you lower the jack
when you leave and drive away without throwing the block in the back of the
truck..

The next time you want to unhitch the trailer, you have no block and the jack
won't lift the trailer high enough to clear the hitch without it.. *groan*

Found 2 solutions to the problem, one woodworking related:
Cut a **** load of blocks and keep them in the truck..

Also, SWMBO shares job of checking before we leave to find the block on the
ground, the vent I left open, the power cord still plugged in, etc...
