    Thinking about a Bus/RV

    reenforcement of the old adage "Every 20 minute job is one broken bolt away from an all day ordeal" :) Well done!

    MidAir at Centennial Airport Cirrus and Metroliner

    Centennial Air Park? Oh yeah, just a sleepy little community with airplane addictions. I know it was a mis-speak, but still struck me as funny.

    Walmart not taking cash.

    Self-check, I believe includes the bill and coin machine to accept cash and dispense change. No personal interaction required. Second, arguing with a cashier gets you absolutely no where. Maybe the manager, but highly doubtful there, as well. These workers have no latitude to deviate from...

    MidAir at Centennial Airport Cirrus and Metroliner

    crap! I'm just a few miles from Cherry Creek and a half mile from KAPA right now ... I would have thought I had heard something but didn't.

    The road

    And yet, every weather guesser is still saying “we need the moisture!” (And I guess rightfully we do)

    Maybe it’s permanent. Grounding that is.

    Nate - thanks for the update and so glad for you to hear that things are all lining up in a generally positive direction!

    Thinking about a career change rant

    very similar experience here ... my CompSci bachelor's was a general overview of technology with no one main emphasis. We touched IBM JCL, Pascal, COBOL... My Software Engineering Master's got more tech specific in some areas, with Ada, Pascal, Assembler, Oracle, dBase, Informix, etc ...

    Magnus Fusion in Colorado

    did I read correctly this had a Rotax 80 hp engine? Yeah, in my mind with zero experience with that, seems like not a lot of HP for that altitude/elevation

    Recertification after stroke

    agree with this from what I've read, but what isn't explicitly addressed or I cannot find (and really don't want to ask officially yet) My scenario: - 3rd class with SI for sleep apnea for many years - converted to basic med and flew for some years - 3rd class and SI expired early on in this...

    Recertification after stroke

    I posted here a while back on my diagnosis of TIA ... I still half argue with myself that diagnosis is incorrect but as far as I know, there’s no way to prove it was or wasn’t, so I’m stuck with it. Wondering lately if there’s a path to go from basic med to Sport Pilot after the penalty box...

    Voyageurs NP? (Semi-NA)

    Little Falls is also the birthplace of li’l old me, my dad, and my granddad. All delivered by the same family doc. I have to imagine he was getting up there in years by the time I came around. A lot of my family history in and around Little Falls.

    Thought about an old tractor

    Drivers Ed was the first time I drove an automatic. Kept stomping the floor for the clutch that wasn’t there. I had been driving farm equipment including semi tractors for 4-5 years before that.

    Among a bunch of GA landings, military landings, arrested carrier landings, my oddity is 6 helo landings and only 1 takeoff (not loggable as PIC).

    Thought about an old tractor

    That's awesome! I got some hours on an IH T-4 crawler that my granddad converted to power line construction. Had an auger on one side and a boom with winch on the other. Some other farm tractor conversions.

    Welcome to POA forums, I guess... are you going to stick around and contribute, or just seagull in here to crap on other people's posts?

    Thinking about a Bus/RV

    There’s a meme for that. “Every 20 minute job is 1 broken bolt away from becoming a 8 hour pain in the butt.”

    Thinking about a Bus/RV

    When I flat towed my Wrangler behind my class C, I stopped a few feet short of the ball. Made sure steering was unlocked, transfer case in neutral and then hand pushed the jeep up to ball and hooked up. Last and final safety check that it was free wheeling.
