He should be doing it at an airfield, but, being rich and lazy, he just keeps the chopper in the back yard to do it when he can fit it it. Takes time driving all the way out to the airfield. Aint gots time fo dat! View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Originally Posted By TokerM:

Practice! In a yard with trees? Not knocking him. But it’s kinda funny. His grass is practically red clay mud now.

Takes time driving all the way out to the airfield. Aint gots time fo dat! That’s his front yard. I’m looking down my driveway across the street into his front yard. All the red clay is his front lawn as the back yard is woods. Again I don’t care. It’s just not something you see ever day.
