    I’m on the backside of 30 and back on my own

    I suspect the age demographic plays a role. Especially if they have kids. Young people are immortal (in their own minds). The older you get, the more you realize that life is fragile.

    I’m on the backside of 30 and back on my own

    We live in different worlds. Many women of this age have children and distrust small planes (not unreasonably so). Maybe Alaska has a different culture as well.

    I’m on the backside of 30 and back on my own

    Well, in my case ‘amateur’ would mean hobbiest who doesn’t make any money doing it. Perhaps younger women are more adventurous. The late 40’s/50ish group seem to be a bit skittish. They definitely weren’t linings up to fly right seat.

    I’m on the backside of 30 and back on my own

    When I rejoined the dating scene, after a 22 year marriage (yes, you do move on), I found that most women I met were not that willing to hop in a small propeller driven plane, let alone with an amateur pilot. I did eventually meet a keeper (we are engaged and have been together 5 years now) who...

    I’m on the backside of 30 and back on my own

    Not the right attitude. Work it out, for the sake of the kids. It really isn't worth fighting over this stuff. There will be give and take. If you can't work it out, the people who suffer is the kids (not your ex, by you proving to your ex that you are stronger and more right). Fortunately for...

    I’m on the backside of 30 and back on my own

    I am still friends and business partners with my ex. It can be done, but you do need some space for a while and don't let things get nasty. Stuff can be replaced and isn't worth fighting over. The best thing for the kids is to keep it as civil as possible. For our divorce, we actually shared a...

    I’m on the backside of 30 and back on my own

    Focus on yourself for a while. Exercise helps a lot. Hobbies help (I went for my PPL after my divorce).

    Los Angeles visit RIR, BUR pireps

    Whiteman is a nice airport, WHT, and pretty close to downtown L.A. It is cheaper than BUR and more of a GA airport. Easy in and out. I parked my plane there for a about 5 days, while I went to a conference in downtown L.A. I don't think I would base in Riverside, if most of what you want to see...

    Win 7 - saving info prior to OS re-install

    Yes, P2V (non-destructive process and will create a copy of the machine in a virtual format in another location). Verify everything is working correctly on the new instance, then rebuild old machine (as something else, if you like).

    Win 7 - saving info prior to OS re-install

    Matthew, A P2V migration is non-destructive. It will create a virtual machine (a few files) and leave the original computer intact. You could look at it as a form of backup (replicating it to a VM).

    Win 7 - saving info prior to OS re-install

    If you P2V, it sucks over the whole machine (into a file). You won't need to reinstall anything. The downside is you get everything (good and bad). If your plan is to rebuild in order to get a fresh start (fix whatever the "more and more problems" is, then you will need to reinstall OS and the...

    Win 7 - saving info prior to OS re-install

    Virtualize it then, and make a copy (so you can revert if it gets infected). Just P2V the machine, install Win 10 and then run it as a Hyper-V instance. You will need a bit more RAM, probably.

    Win 7 - saving info prior to OS re-install

    One thing to note is that Windows 7 is end of life on January 14, 2020. That means they will not be releasing any further security updates for that OS. You should seriously consider moving to Windows 10, if you are going to go through all this effort.

    Win 7 - saving info prior to OS re-install

    Yes, it saves it to another location (you specify). I often use USB flash drives.

    Win 7 - saving info prior to OS re-install

    You have some options. There is a built in tool to back up the user profiles (which contains my documents). If you need continued access to it, you can P2V (physical to virtual migration) and run it in a hyper-v instance on another computer. There is also a tool to do system state (full)...
