    Drivers license suspended and non owner insurance

    Funny, but sadly true story. I was in traffic court one day. A guy was there there for driving on suspended license. He pleaded not guilty. Reason being he did not know his license was suspended when he was caught driving. Judge gave him a date to come back for trial. He proceeded to reach...

    Basic Med Advice from my Doc

    If it aint broke, don't fix it. Pilot, DOT worker, or otherwise, many people don't have annual physicals because they don't think anything is broken.

    It has been years since the Arrow was sold. The front seats would accidentally get swapped. but IIRC there were levers or handles that would be on the wrong side. Legally, I don't know if they could be switched per the type certificate.

    A1C

    I think getting your HOMA-IR score is a much better indicator than A1C alone. I think it is important to test your fasting insulin and use a HOMA-IR calculator to get your score. This thread prompted me to do some frequent blood glucose testing over the last few days. I tested in the...

    Non aviation career shift/ mid life crisis

    Based on what you wrote, I think you can count out working for somebody else. I did interviewing for a fortune 500 company for a bit, and what you wrote would be a big red flag to us. It fits the pattern of what we called the "future disgruntled employee". It is not necessarily a negative...

    I’m calling the peak

    That is true for today, but in 1970 a new 911 was the same price as a new 172. This is a major factor why 50 year old airplanes are still realizing high resale values today.
