I'm getting there now, thanks to everyone. TomG taught me some pretty cool moves in the TA which was a great help. Sorting my cockpit so I could see all around has totally changed the game!!
One question, how do I stop my wife getting mad when I'm doing a two hour bomb run?

Traveler has got it right.

Makeup $$x... LOL (That was on a "Love American Style" tv episode back in the 1970's.)
Find her a hobby like knitting. Let her join a local knitting group. With any luck she will be gone on a Saturday all day to her knitting retreat and you at home to play Aces High or whatever. Once a month she goes with her girlfriends for a 3 day retreat to some hotel or spa. Once-in-awhile I will tag along to a good hotel or cruise and bring along my laptop.
I've been married almost 40 years to the same girlfriend. I think her being mad is something that is a given. With the divorce rates what they are, I think most relationships are rocky. They do this because they like makeup gifts, take your pick: dinner out, movies, CHOCOLATE, jewelry, perfume---except she might think you are telling her she stinks, etc. LOL Wait until "M", if you think she gets mad now...
