For Want of a Nail

Went to the Flight Standards District Office yesterday to renew my Certified Flight Instructor certificate. Paper work in order, ring the bell at the door to get in, sign in and receive a visitor's badge.
The 8710-1 form is in hand. I tried to print it at the lake but couldn't get the old printer to work with the new computer. Computer operating software too new for the old printer CD installer software. No updates online. So drove home. I don't need the second page of the form according to my course information. The FSDO says it needs both pages. So at the FSDO I hand print the information on a new two-sided form. Receive a temporary certificate, drive to the lake. Computer doesn't work. 
For Want of a Nail


For want of a nail the shoe was lost.  
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.  
For want of a horse the rider was lost.  
For want of a rider the message was lost.  
For want of a message the battle was lost.  
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Happy Autumn
