Saw some street walkers, always a welcoming sight haha ugh. But let's be honest, I'm from Dallas originally and plenty of...

    Pilots into Audiophile Systems/Home Theater

    Those Kef 7's look nice! I too would like to add atmos. My main beef with my set up is the center channel. Dialog is just okay but is different from movie to movie. Action movies always have muffled dialog and that comes from the mixing at the studio. So not sure what I would gain. When the...

    Pilots into Audiophile Systems/Home Theater

    I too went cheap getting into the home theater. We have Polk audio signature series setup with an SVS ported sub (which freaking rocks! ), a denon head unit, 120" silverticket screen and a BenQ projector. Decent setup and makes home movie watching fun.

    Any skiers/snowboarders here? WTH happened to lift prices?

    We went to SnowKing. We spent $400 for my wife and I and that was one hour of tubing, lunch, rental set up for skiing and snowboarding, and two lift tickets for a day.

    Any skiers/snowboarders here? WTH happened to lift prices?

    Wow 40 minute wait to get on a lift?! I'll be in Jackson hole later this week. I really really hope it's not crowed like that, I feel I would leave. I snowboard ALOT in Alaska, complete with going up in a helicopter and picking peaks (which was amazing!!), I've never had to wait that long in...

    IMC the whole fight?

    I've done one flight in solid IMC for just over 2 hours. I was glad when I broke out and landed. Super tired and my eyes felt crossed and I did not have an auto pilot at the time. Even now with an auto pilot I still try to avoid IMC if I can, I'd rather punch through a layer to get on top and...

    Flying with pets

    Don't need common purpose...single person, draw a contract, Is that not private carriage? I mean the OP approaches a commercial pilot, they negotiate a price, draw a contract up, and should be good to go. Nobody was holding out and fits AC 120-12A.

    Buy it. Buy it. Buy it. . .

    Your best deals are off market deals and that can happen anytime of year. Once a plane hits the open market there is too much competition. Both of my planes I've purchased were off market with reasonable sellers and time to negotiate.

    Winter time typically is the slow season and a good time to buy. But honestly anytime is good.

    Buy it. Buy it. Buy it. . .

    Would you be financing or a cash buyer? If financing then waiting is bad cause intrest rates will just keep climbing. If cash buyer, well then inflation is hurting that money just sitting there so just buy it. So I'm in the camp of buy it now! Don't be one of those perpetual tire kickers that I...
