Bump

Mine is 5 days when I did my tailwheel training. I don't think I will ever see double digits. Just not in the cards.

Bonds are dumb.

Flying with the angels now. Blue skies Jeff.

My first month flying over 30 hours. And engine is now 1975 smoh. Wallet is sweating bullets.

Can you spot Osh in the haze? That's the closest I've been to the big event before. Some day.

We have two Tello lines in our house. Cheap and have been competent

My financial advisor hates it when I show him this chart. I just keep him around to buy American Funds for my kids' 529. I'm the purple line. No you can't hire me.

I feel like all I do is post stupid questions, so here's another one. I'm planning on ordering a new engine (factory rebuilt Lycoming IO-540) so that I can get away from my dual mag. Lead time is 18 months. Wheee! Anyway, this is an engine swap. I give them my old one, they give me the new one...

Is that Florida?
