I'm in a similar boat. I'm nowhere near planning a purchase but me and my wife together are about 500lbs. 90% of the time it would be just us 2 but occasionally may want to take 2 adult kids with us. Probably not much baggage on those trips though. Kids are maybe 325lbs combined so 825lbs in...

Very nice plane there. I have been goofing around and really like the Baron G58. Something a few years old maybe. I don't like buying brand new even if it is in the budget. Let someone else work out the bugs and take the depreciation hit.

Just don't get your bottles mixed up after you fill one :)

lol. Well just checked our tickets and we won. Yeah, I think $7. We have 2 numbers and the powerball on 1 ticket...lol

lol. Gulfstream is a little over the top for me but man it would be tempting...lol. C172 would probably be out. With the lower payload it would really limit us. I do like the G1000 though. If we won the Powerball good chance we move somewhere down south and would likely fly back here often and...

lol. only one plane for me if I get to that point. We have a 25' cabin cruiser boat (2006 Crownline 250CR) and I told my wife I'm not even sure I'd upgrade that if we hit the Powerball. If we were moving to ocean front then I would get something that was more of an ocean friendly vessel but...

Interesting looking plane. Looks pretty cool actually

No, this is only hypothetical...lol. Money would certainly be a factor but in light of the Powerball thing was just thinking 'what if'? So I'm the person that is happy with what he has. I have a 2018 2500 Ram and a modest middle class house. If I won the Powerball I would probably move and...

I watched that video posted above and even being an extreme rookie I was pretty shocked that he was so adamant about it being suicide. I could understand him saying that it is his opinion that it is possible but he flat out said it was suicide, no if, ands, or buts. I'm leaning towards some type...

I built my computer for trading stocks but have recently bought Flight Sim 2020 so using it for that along with the Honeycomb yoke. I bought an MSI Tomahawk B450 Max MB and a Ryzen 3600 6 core CPU with 32GB RAM. Runs my stock trading software great but my graphics card is a little under powered...

I got the basic FS2020. I have only flown the C152, 172, and 208 and tried the Citation but that didn't work well. Tried the KingAir 350 also. The 152, 172, and 208's are all pretty easy now. That is most likely something I would probably be flying in reality so no reason for me to try the 737...

I used to work at a company that manufactured interior plastics for aircrafts. We had a Faro laser scanner and a CAD department. I bought a Dell Precision M4600 that had pretty beefy specs. I'm currently typing on a Precision M4500 that I bought in 2010. It was pretty high end when I bought it...

Been boating for 5 years now. Started a spreadsheeet and was warned against it. I no longer have a spreadsheet...lol. I kind of a tight wad and spend about $6000-7000/year on the boat. If you had told me before I bought it that it would cost me that much /year I probably wouldn't have bought it...

I am doing something similar with Flight Simulator 2020 but I am a beginner with no experience. I have been using the 172 with the G1000's but in reality I might never be in anything with G1000's. Haven't found any planes on there yet that have 430's or anything that might be more common. I see...

I was very surprised last night when I typed in a registration number from a plane photo from my local airports club. Never would have thought that would be public. But anyway, back around 1988 I bought a 1970 Olds W31 from the original owner. Had been sitting and needed some TLC but had 51,000...

Found my local airports clubs Facebook page. Looks like they have a Cirrus SR20 and they show a 172 but ownership says it belongs to a local guy but looks like it is available as a club plane? Got that from the pics but didn't see a list.

I feel the same on the boat. My mind is always racing with so much going on. When I'm on the boat that is about the only time my brain relaxes

Step-son and his wife started the keto diet about 4 or 5 weeks ago and have lost quite a bit. They weren't overly heavy but are now pretty thin. I think he lost about 25lbs. He was about 180 when he started but he is only 5'7". His wife was probably 160 or so and is now probably about 140...

My kids and their spouses are all under about 175, just me and my wife that need to lose a little...lol. We used to be about 200 and 130 respectively but raising 4 kids and the quick fast food, etc has taken it's toll...lol. Not to mention I work from home for the last 5 years and sit in my...

So sounds like a 152 is pretty much out of the question even for just us 2 unless I don't top off the tanks. That would be fine for renting or club as our trips would probably be shorter. I'm not stuck on Cessna, just the one I'm most familiar with as far as models/seating, etc. Might turn out...
