When I was growing up, we were the kind of poor that the kids didn't realize we were poor. When times were really lean, my mom would make a particular sandwich that we would actually come to crave. Peanut butter, butter, pickle and lettuce sandwiches.

I find it very difficult to believe there is a human on earth that has tried Carne Asada Fries and doesn't like them. I actually turned a vegitarian from the Dark Side with them. True story.

Funny. I've learned (mostly through conversations with my wife) that discussions about the best burgers rarely are about just the burger. With my wife it is a combination of burgers and fries that makes the best place. She's incapable of separating the two, even though she can shoot down a...

I saw that a few years ago. KAFF is a delta airport. Would have sucked to hear "you weren't cleared for takeoff, we have a number for you to call".

I have absolutely no information to help you. But we just got back from a cruise that left and ended in Vancouver and hit a couple of places in Alaska and that whole area is an absolutely beautiful place to fly (when the skies are clear). Got to take the controls of a Beaver on floats and I'm...

Sigh ... the mass migration of those from the northern to southern states would indicate something else. Can't imagine people would be coming down in droves if it were such an inhospitable place. Unfortunately, we're just so charming and welcoming that people can't stay away. You may be on to...

I think it all depends on what he values more. If he's even just a decent engineer and manages his affairs well he will accrue much more wealth if he stays the course as an engineer. But, if he has even the slightest inkling that he might want to fly for the military, he needs to jump on this...

I guess I was too slow in the fast lane, then someone flipped me off, and then I got lost. What are we talking about? I've got family in town, so I'm limited, but I'll do what I can.

Pretty sure it's straight, but I'm curious now. Will be checking tonight.

Nice layout, and I wish you well. I do echo some of the other sentiments in that you'll need to find something new different to distinguish your site. The big news to me, though, is how I never knew there was a .flights top level domain!

I have an Army issued Colt 1911 that was manufactured in 1917. The Army parkerized it after WWI, and reissued it for WWII so it's not worth the big money, but it's priceless to me (was my grandfather's). My plan is to get a Colt 1911 Govt. model next year and have 100 years of Colt between them.

I grew up in El Paso, and really didn't like it all that much. But Lubbock is the armpit of Texas. If you're a bird hunter, then you have some great opportunities for lots of different kinds of hunting all around it. Other than that, it sucks. There's seriously nothing there but dirt. At...

Meh ... my color pallet is pretty limited: Red, White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, Orange, and about 10 shades of Purple.

Dude, that takes talent to have that happen in FTW. Dallas on the other hand ...

She looks great, Mike! Does this mean I can start talking like an old fogey and say "I remember Whiskey Bravo when she was RED"?

"Hit it." Seriously, welcome to NTX. What kind of work are you looking for? As for places to live, I'm very partial to the SW part of the metroplex. The new tollway has opened up some areas like Cleburne as viable places to look, too.

Not sure what qualifies as "actively pursues", but I've seen plenty of blue racers and cottonmouths chase people for long stretches. We live in the country, too, and my approach is a mix. Round headed snakes get to stay. Plenty of black, rat and king snakes around here to do the work. But I...

Funny that this thread got resurrected. I'm about a month into owning my first plane, a 1966 pa-28-140. It's a plane my late father-in-law first logged and passed his PPL check ride in back in 1970. My son never got to know his grandfather, but adores planes and will also get to learn to fly...

Funny, because a friend sent this to me today. No sign of hamsters, though.

Awesome!!
