This is pretty minor in comparison, but I learned at a young age that telephone wires carry a charge when I was installing a new phone outlet and stripping the wires with my teeth. "220...221...whatever it takes"

Based on the first video, I think this thread is more appropriately titled "Flight Chops is filming people building an RV-14 for him" (Don't get me wrong, I'm going to watch every darned episode)

Try letting them know you can respond but have a $100 processing fee. It will take up to 90 days. Or they can pay an extra $250 for expedited service.

If its any consolation, I'd bet a great deal of new cars and trucks are sold to folks who can't afford them.

I'd buy a used SR-20 to get my private and instrument in. After a couple hundred hours and assuming this flying thing is turning out the way I envisioned it, I'd trade up to a used SR-22. I'd fly that for a few hundred more hours while I got comfortable with long cross countries and further...

I've been thinking about how to respond to this for a while and here's what I have come up with -- I think the premise of your original question is "how the other half lives". Well, the fact of the matter is that people are pretty much the same at all income levels. There are some that...

Unfortunately, you'll end up behind in that scenario. Your $6,370.96 in interest assumes the $40,000 remains untouched for the 5 years rather than being used to service the debt. To compare both scenarios, you'd need to either: a) draw down the $40,000 to make the HELOC payments; or b) add...

I’m with Rudy. It really comes down to net worth. Lower 7 figures and I’d stick with the Bonanza. Of course, as you got closer to $10 mil, I’d go with a used TBM. I would also not finance it.

I see the current prime rate as 5.5%. Are you saying you can get a higher rate in a Kasasa account?

I like to respond "...dio trans...gar..."

Yes. I had a very similar reaction to yours. Humans can be pretty dang impressive.

Congratulations!

Be sure to go by the high school to read the plaque commemorating when KISS played there. I came upon it by accident on a morning run when doing the Tom Brady multi thing.

LinkedIn has been useful to me as a sort of evergreen rolodex. After 20 years in accounting and consulting, I had crossed paths with a bunch of people. Now that I'm in private industry, I periodically have need to connect back with certain people. It's very helpful to connect with them (since...

My Tesla story... A while back, my son was starting to show some interest in the stock market. At the same time, he thought the Tesla roadster looked kind of cool. So, putting the two together, I bought him 5 shares of Tesla...at $20 a share. Too bad I'm such a cheap dad!

Congratulations. Look forward to reading about your CFI training.

For equities I already own, nothing. I bought them with a long term horizon in mind. And this current volatility is quite overdue, historically speaking. For equities I don't own, but would like to, I'm watching the sale currently underway and hoping for further discounts...my cheapest...

Great. Next thing you know, states will be copying our socialist tendencies and high tax rates. Then what will we have?

I took the sheet metal class and I'm building a tube and fabric plane. But its still got nutplates and some aluminum in side panels and other areas. To your other question about 2 classes at the same time, I think its kind of the EAA travelling roadshow so they do them all at the same time...

My CFI also thought the lazy 8 was a ground reference maneuver. He was a great primary CFI. Just didn't do a lot of commercial instruction. During my checkride, the DPE (after I had demonstrated the maneuver within standards) mentioned a couple of things regarding the maneuver that led me to...
