Dead man talking.
Trolley, I have been to 4 funerals now where the casket held the remains of pilots that had flown perfectly serviceable aeroplanes into the ground. Three of those four were C210 pilots.
You are low time, presumably male, mid-twenties, and in GA. You have a bit of time under your belt now, and you are starting to have a few 'ideas' of your own about how things can be done.
Just like the C210 pilots we buried.
