TOOL CONTROL. Designed by AME's for AME's.

Good Day: My name is Wayne Rowley, Born 1941 in Southern Saskatchewan. (Easy to draw, hard to spell). Canada.

I was raised on a Prairie Wheat farm. Both my Grand Pa’s Broke Virgin Prairie Sod for their farms. Single Plow. Single horse. Iron man. I am an AME (Aircraft Maintenance Engineer). BEd. (Taught industrial education for 10 years). Marine mechanic. Licensed Refrigeration Tech in BC. “I am a solution person.”

Today I am happily married. Living in Vietnam.

I thought a lot about what to call this. Stories did not seem correct. I have learned that most Stories/Tall Tales and Yarns have started with a bit of truth. I know that many of the stories are true because I was there.

I’m 83, most of the people involved have passed, which means that most of the characters are not alive. I am NOT Politically Correct and I will use offensive words at times. If you are delicate, please move on, I really don’t give a fat rats ass. My definition of Bull Shit. When I know you are lying and you know you are lying, that is Bull Shit.

There will be a lot of early helicopter stories. Probably some growing up. Music. Farming. Travel. Thinking. Rants. At some point I may include philosophy and the rules I try to live by.

I wanted to do this many years ago when I quit helicopters, the first time. I did not have the money to go to a helicopter bar and by rounds with a tape recorder going to keep the stories. UBC. Now many great stories are lost forever. Bummer.
