    [N/A] Gas or Electric

    Yes, you do. But all of our cookware was already induction friendly, so that wasn't a negative for us.

    [N/A] Gas or Electric

    Not that I have seen, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

    [N/A] Gas or Electric

    I am thinking that an all-electric house would be slightly safer than one with gas appliances. But that is purely speculation on my part. No evidence to back that up. Up until last summer, we had an electric dryer, cooktop, oven, and water heater, but natural gas furnace. Our cooktop went out...

    Wearing shoes in the house

    We have never had friends or family that wanted shoes off in the house. So I most likely would not notice going into someone's house. If I did notice, I would politely oblige. But I never look down at people's feet when I walk into their home. I did build a large custom home for one couple, and...

    There was a murder at my house ...

    That's quite a story you have to tell there. It will be interesting for you to see over time if they ever solve the crime. We had an incident 4 or 5 years ago about a mile up our street. Neighbors of a house started noticing an odor and called the police. They found a rotted, decapitated...

    Retirement: inside or outside the USA?

    Yep, me too. Most of our family is in NC. I would much rather stay near family during my retirement, than living in some really nice location climate-wise. Other than the summer humidity, the climate is not bad here anyway. Now, if we didn't have much local family, or had strained relationships...

    NASCAR

    Some of my family and quite a few of the people I grew up with all got into NASCAR. I just never did. I met Bill Elliott once at a Ford dealership, and just a few months later went to a race in Charlotte (All Pro Parts 400, I think it was called) with a friend of mine. I was pulling for Bill...

    Who here plays a musical instrument?

    I took piano lessons in third grade, but only lasted a few months. My parents' piano was a really crappy one, and I just didn't have the motivation. I played snare drum in band in 9th and 10th grade. In high school, I bought myself an inexpensive acoustic guitar and taught myself to play...

    Engine out practice

    Trent Palmer and a buddy of his tested this a year or two ago. They climbed up to a safe altitude, then first pulled back to idle and timed how long it took to lose maybe 2000 feet of altitude at best glide. Then they did the same test again by shutting down the engine. With both of their...

    Plane & Pilot magazine

    No doubt, the way you do it opens up ownership to more people. Flying clubs, partnerships, and renting help, too.

    Kirk Douglas rides west

    I had no idea he was still alive. 103, wow.

    Plane & Pilot magazine

    I was sent the offer in the mail. I went online this morning, but I could not get the print subscription section to come up on their website. I don't know if that offer is available to everyone.

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    My father-in-law told that joke several times over the years to different people. He always ended it at the part about saying she's left-handed.

    Your "what if" plane

    Now you are really dreaming. You must have your Mooney insured very well. [emoji38]

    Plane & Pilot magazine

    I did not know that. My son has an iPad, so I may have to look into that. They probably don't have a 1-month free trial, do they? I'm not a big news person, so it may not be worth it to me anyway. But it would be interesting to go in and look around at the offerings.

    Some Outtakes From a Pretty Serious guy

    I need to watch your video again. I had too many family distractions to really understand the humor in this particular one. I think almost all your stuff is funny, and I get the humor, so I need to give this one a second shot when it's quieter around the house.

    Plane & Pilot magazine

    That's the kind of material I enjoy reading. Yeah, it's okay to read about the newest version of the HondaJet. But I like reading about 2 and 4 place piston GA aircraft more than the fancier stuff.

    Plane & Pilot magazine

    Ha! Is there such a thing as an affordable plane? [emoji16]

    Plane & Pilot magazine

    I haven't subscribed to this magazine for many years. I currently take Flying. P&P recently sent me a subscription offer for 2 years for $15. Are they a decent mag, worth the money? Just curious how they would compare for GA reading material. Thanks. Edit: I will probably not take both. If I...

    Final Report for the Loss of My Arrow

    I remember you posting about this a while back. That sure would have rattled my cage, too.
