If you want a trip down memory lane, visit: http://www.wishbookweb.com/the-catalogs Not every year is on there, but a lot are. I grew up as a kid/teenager in the 70s/80s and went through some of those years' Wishbooks and found several items in there that I had gotten as toys or gifts as a...

They're bulletproof in PUBG. In real life, not so much.

I've got three tattoos (so far - more are coming I'm sure) and I completely agree. I have no desire to get a phrase or symbol from another language, and even if I did, I'd get it from a tattoo artist who actually speaks and reads that language. The other thing I'd never do is walk into some...

I loved Saturday morning cartoons, and I also grew up in the Looney Tunes era. The other show I loved watching was Space Giants, the Japanese show with the big robots (Goldar, Silvar, and Gam) that could turn into rockets. I loved that show.

Is the Aerostar something that can be maintained and serviced by most (knowledgeable) shops out there? Or is it such a rare bird that you'd have a hard time finding someone good to perform maintenance on it? I remember when I first started researching my flight training, running across...

Yep - I know all about moving from an insanely expensive place to a more affordable one, but in my case it was moving from Silicon Valley (where I'd worked on a couple different occasions for a total of almost 20 years, but never bought a house) back to Colorado which is where I really consider...

Thanks for the replies, everybody. Sounds like any future plans for me to get my own plane would be in doubt, considering the hangar situation in the Denver area. Had no idea there were waiting lists that were years long. If I were in construction, I'd be very tempted to start such a project...

Ok, let me preface this by saying this is probably just a pipe dream at this point, but in the interest of research and gathering more info... Rather than continuing to rent SR20s (or later, SR22s) as I continue my training and flying, I've given some thought to maybe looking into an older...

One of these days, but not until AFTER my checkride, I'm going to total up all the invoices for my flight training. I'll make sure and be sitting down when I do it.

I just learned the other day that Denver has a couple Shake Shack locations I need to check out. I haven't been to one yet. Best burger joint I ate at was Super Duper in and around the San Francisco Bay Area. Those were some of the best burgers, fries, and shakes I've ever had (from a...

My first thought when I read the title, but before clicking into the thread, was "There's no way I'd eat some nasty lettuce-wrapped burger!" But that burger does look good to me - I'd eat it! The salad doesn't belong there, though. Isn't it a law that you must server a burger with some sort...

LOL cowman - that's what pops into my head anytime I hear "safety card".

IIRC you used to own and fly an Aerostar. Was curious if you knew how the Aerostar market was doing lately? Is it in the same vein, with prices going up?

Hyundai elevator, and I thought the Bud Light one where they were delivering the corn syrup to their competitor's castles was also funny.

Ah, Jeep toys! I had a complete list of stuff I was going to buy and do to mine before I left California to come back to Colorado, but the only things I managed to get done before I left was simple stuff like new LED headlights (JW Speaker) and stronger diff covers (Poison Spyder). I probably...

I liked that bit with Harrison Ford, but when I saw him appear onscreen, I immediately thought, "LOL - that's not the type of house Harrison Ford lives in!"

I don't follow football much, but I'll watch if the Broncos are playing (although it's been painful watching them play since I moved back to Colorado a year ago). I don't have anything for/against either the Rams or the Pats, but watched it and thought it was a pretty boring game. I guess if...

I have a 2015 Wrangler that came from factory with the hard top, so I don't have any experience with replacing a soft top with one. But I do remember when I was doing my research on what options I wanted when I ordered mine, I opted for the ceiling insulation (I forget what Jeep called it) that...

It's hard for me to fathom that people used to dress like that even for the most mundane things. Men going out anywhere - suits, ties, and hats. Women going grocery shopping - dresses, high heels, string of pearls. It's just bizarre to me. Different time I guess. And I'm not a youngun...

I never answer my phone anymore unless it's from a number already in my contact list, or I'm expecting a call. Everything else I silence and ignore. The STIR/SHAKEN thing might help, but it's probably too little, too late.
