The Ess-eating grin on your face betrays your success. And hampers your editing skills (your NOTE on post 1 says 2002 currently).

God, she was hot. Pretty sure she wanted me.

Dad taught me how to make popcorn on the stove top. Step one: two scoops of bacon grease from the mason jar. So I still save it, even though popcorn is a rare treat and microwaved these days. I also find bacon grease wilts greens quite nicely, when the pescatarian is not around.

I don't know why I did not think about the transition to a no kid situation. Do you 'under the pillow' folks just make it part of a checklist to move the gun to a locked status when, say, the toddler niece and nephew visit once a year? Or would it be best to 'train like you fight' and just...

Do you know how hard it is to schedule a septic system repair in BC these days? :p

If asphalt floor, large nails and neon rope.

Is the majority of your flying time solo? 9/9a. If two or more cross country, the 10. For either, post a 'Want to Buy' on VAF, and network a bit to find a plane before it hits the market. It is still a seller's market, IMO, so be ready to pay more than you would think. I have tens of hours...

Got together on the weekends with all the smart ones at SkunkWorks and came up with MavCoin. Hired BitBoy Crypto to hype it for three weeks, cashed out, walked away a buhzillionaire. That's how you do it these days, right?

There exists the remote possibility that South Carolina will try to get sales tax from you if money and Bill of Sale are exchanged in that state. My research shows it is not a fly away state, but they do limit sales tax to $500 on aircraft sales. My experience is that they won't come after you...

I met Roy Clark in the ready room at Fallon as he was getting the dog and pony twenty some years ago, the afternoon before a show scheduled that night at the Nugget in Reno. He looked like Roy Clark: jeans, plaid shirt, etc. Toothpick in the mouth if I remember correctly. He did look old...

O320-E2D: 1450 hrs and 41 yrs TTSN. 50 per year average by me over the last eight years of ownership.

So, when her parents heard how the move went, they were sympathetic, right?

Tray swap. Power and ground wires (already there), position wire from 430W, air data wire from G5. Three hours? Plus a flat fee for the appropriate certification with the test box. More if you want to hardwire traffic info, audio, etc.

I always lead with the Ground Facility name, a habit left over from the days of conversations with two different stations on two individual radios at the same time.

It's a Lycoming, not a Rolex.

MT Natural Composite (Carbon over wood) propeller on an experimental airplane. 100 hours of use, it sat crated for three out of four years in a conditioned hangar. It would continue to be hangared in the dry southwest after installation and use for the next two years. Would there be any...

I wonder if they could have brought in two jump qualified pilots from overseas with no intention of flying in the US in the next year (other than this stunt) and given them a solo sign off? :stirpot:

For the love of Buddha, WHAT'S THE PRICE!?!?!?!?

I priced the pads and rotors at NAPA using my uncle's 'shop' account. Retail $950 plus tax, which is what a shop would charge you. But their actual cost would likely only be around $400 plus tax, and I bet RockAuto, etc. would be able to get you that same pricing, if you were inclined to once...

Life has many stages. People have many psyches. I think I have been a part of most. I like the current "Oh, WTF . . ." stage, where the kids are on the path to established careers, and we have enough assets to live out our life, if only meagerly. Especially since M'lady is onboard...
