    In case you've got some free time this weekend

    Fire up the balloons and get your lawnchair!

    I love that quote about the airline pilot. Don't think I'll be doing that myself. I might be in the lawnchair, with a beer in one hand, but I won't be at 3000 feet...

          That'd be an handy way of cleaning the gutters. just get it up to 20 or 30 feet, and remove balloons, or ballast to stay there....

                  I always thought this was one of those internet myths - but it looks like the guy really did it.
