I forgot all about Gateway. We used to be loyal Gateway customers, as well, and always enjoyed those computers.

That is always the balancing act....getting as much computer as we can afford to get the most longevity out of it, but not spending more than we really need to.

My wife and I have always bought Dell desktops and have been very happy with them, until the last one. It wasn't near as fast out of the box as previous models. We probably should have sent it back at the beginning, but didn't. Well, as always, over time, it has gotten even slower. To the point...

It would have been much easier then. Life and obligations got in the way after that.

Not making the sacrifices necessary to get my PPL in my late teens to mid 20s.

I was actually thinking earlier today while reading this thread that he needs to hire Mike Patey (seriously doubt he could afford him!).

I am not a pilot, so take my opinion with ever how many grains of salt it is worth. But I had to quit watching his videos. It became a little too painful for me. I am a little mechanically minded, so it has become apparent to me that his engineering seems to be almost like a shade tree mechanic...

That's just plain stupid no matter your political beliefs and persuasions.

Electricity was not invented, but ways to generate, harness, transmit and control it for useful purposes have been incredibly helpful.

Has that happened more than once? I know I read the article in Flying about the family that had that happen. Fortunately, he crash landed safely and they walked away with minor injuries.

I have a first cousin who had a 4-cylinder manual transmission Scout for many years. He drove it to the Outer Banks to go surf fishing many, many times. That was quite an anemic engine. It's 0-60 time was probably well into double-digits! But it did the job for him.

Those TV ads are great!

Yes, I believe he said he had a hard time finding someone to lease him a plane, but he finally did. And he's still flying that plane today.

It's quite possible there were some issues with mine. It ran great once it warmed up. I also had the lowest gearing (high numerical) I think you could get. It was great for towing, but not good for the highway. I sure wish I could have kept mine, and would love to have it back today (if in...

That brings back some memories! My first vehicle when I got my driver's license was a '74 Scout II. I loved that SUV. The only problem was, I was a poor farmer with only a bus driving income, which wasn't much. That 345 got about 10 miles per gallon, and I just couldn't afford the trips to the...

I would think that if $1M was frivolous money, "having fun" money, then it would be fun to buy an airport like that and run it just to be involved in aviation. Let's just say I have a long way to go before I reach that status!

Agreed. I did not catch that part when I watched it the first time. But he had a big caption that said Grumman Tiger. Then he talked about a cruise speed of 120 knots and a purchase price of $40,000. It's my understanding that a Tiger is several knots faster and quite a bit more expensive than...

He did make the mistake of the Traveler/Tiger, but other than that, I enjoyed his video. That's his opinion of the planes that give you the most value. Every single pilot on here may have a different opinion. But that's okay. He seems to have carved out two very good niches for himself on YT world.

Hoping and praying things turn around for you.
