Of all the places I've parked at OSH, I actually most preferred far the NW corner of the field, near the gate. It was an easy walk to the outside world, and I did all my breakfast and supper eating outside the fence, which saves a ton of money, and is better food. The bus comes by every few...

Glad I got to see y'all. It was great to see familiar faces, and meet some folks for the first time. Looking forward to the next one! Our trip home was a long one with a pretty brutal headwind. 60 mph on the nose at one point. Flew most of it at 11,500 to stay above the clouds and chop...

Well, unless something goes south, I'm not going to have a plane when this Rough River deal goes down. Since my plane was for sale, and I didn't know if I could get there, I haven't made any arrangements to get there or sleep there. Question 1: Is anybody coming through south central...

Planning on it. Not gonna lie though, I might be planeless by then and seeking a Comanche ride from a certain North Texan.

Don't need no 'lectricity.

Thanks again for the input, y'all. I'll make a decision soon and try to figure out a price that that fits the market. Not really sure where to start but I'll start somewhere and work from there. Annual is due this month, so I'll fix a few little sqwaks then, clean her up good, and see what...

Great feedback. I'm with you on pretty much everything you all have said. Do you feel the same about interior? What about avionics? Anything there that would be worth messing with pre-sale? I have all steam gauges, a panel mounted Garmin 696, no ads-b out yet, no autopilot, Narco nav/comm...

Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking. That's the kind of guy I am. When I see 5 hrs SMOH and brand new paint and interior, the first thing I think is this thing was probably rotting on the the ramp somewhere a month ago. Mine is mechanically sound, and one of the lowest time 182s you'll...

Yeah, everybody keeps saying that. I never said I was going to go to a "good shop." :smilewinkgrin: Joking. Thanks fer the input.

Really? I've never heard of such delays around here. I dunno, maybe the kind of shops that have websites,take credit cards, and answer the phone are backed up. I'm thinking more about the guys that you have to hear about from a buddy, who heard about them from a buddy, and you have to show up...

Good points. 1-2 months seems to be about par according to fellow pilots with recent paint jobs around here, but many of those may have been a year or two ago. Things may be different now. Haven't discussed in detail with any paint shops at this point. SOlid point, but that is assuming...

Good point. I have gotten some ballpark quotes, but haven't gotten deep enough to discuss availability with any of the paint shops.

1. Hot enough that my hanger neighbor sold his 1963 C-182 with steam gauges, fair interior, nice paint, and an almost new engine for $132,500 a couple weeks ago. Pretty nice bird, but by no means special. Mine is uglier inside and out, and the engine is approaching mid-time, so I don't expect...

I'm thinking about selling my trusty ol' C-182 since the market is wicked crazy right now. Several of you have seen the old girl, and many of you have probably seen it without knowing it on the @SixPapaCharlie "Have I Got the Plane For You" series. The plane hasn't been painted since 1971...

Same here. I know many dozens, if not hundreds of folks who have had it. I know a handful who have died with it. All of those individuals had very serious That baby is about to be for sale. Anybody interested? I need more seats.

I walked nearly every day as well. There were a couple days in there that I never left the couch, and a few days that I only made it 50 yards, but I got up and moved around as much as I could stand. Thankfully, I don't have to hack at this point, and I'm getting stronger every day. I've...

I haven't run into any McCurtain Co. Okies on here, Mikey. I know a handful of folks from down in the corner. I wouldn't expect any of them own a computer. Idabel is on the far side of the woods where sasquatch lives.

Ryan pretty much answered that for me. Sounds like the likelihood of getting it again is pretty remote, at least for a while anyway. I'll add this: I'm a little afraid of vaccinations. I have no idea if it would affect me in the same way, but I got a flu shot once about 10 years ago, and...

I agree with you there. It is an insanely squirrelly virus. We've probably all seen 85 year old fat smokers with diabetes, hypertension and a couple bypass surgeries under their belt get through covid just fine, then see a pretty healthy 30 something spend time in the hospital. My wife and I...

I actually had really mild symptoms at first. Low fever for a da or so, a little tickle causing some coughing, mild body ache, and some mild tummy issues for the first few days, then they subsided. Heck, I even started staining my deck on the 4th and 5th days. I thought I had it whipped. On...
