    [NA] Brooks shoes and knee soreness?

    Long time since I reffed basketball, but cross trainers worked for me - even all day doing youth games back to back for 8 hours. I never wore the cross trainers for any other activities as I've always found a good running shoe to be my preferred all day shoe. Of course...that was a long time...

    Received a denial for third class medical due to OCD.

    What does the "experienced AME/HIMS AME" you retained to support you through this process have to say? Seems to me you've invested in their services and that would be a better avenue for "what do we do next?" than seeking internet advice.

    Moving back to Europe. What to do with the plane? (Long Post)

    At the end of the day, it all comes down to what type of a deal Friend #1 is happy with - if he's fine bearing a percentage of all the costs and risk and knows you will buy him out down the road, deal done probably. However, the mutual friend is also right in my opinion. You really want Friend...

    Help Me Pitch A Company Plane Solution

    ^^^ Good ballpark. I was about to post $480,000 using an all-in number of$4000/hr. Regarding fractional - be prepared in today's environment for there to be a possible delay in getting into a share. Some of the companies have outright stopped new shares temporarily and all have imposed a...

    Years Since Overhaul

    Congratulations on making the deal! So the big question is "will you let someone else fly it so that you can take your awesome air-to-air shots of your new plane or do you have a colleague who will take photos of you flying it?"

    Why Be an EAA Chapter?

    Yeah, I'm sure the way the OP described the current group gets a lot of new members excited to join just because it's an EAA chapter.

    Question about SI Renewal - Obtaining Documentation 60 Days Prior to Expiration

    If you are in a situation that requires an SI, you need to own your medical care better than trusting a large hospital to be the keeper and provider of information. Find a primary doctor that is your source and manages the information rather than abdicates that responsibility to the affiliated...

    Ordered new Tecnam P2010

    Talk to the dealer and Tecnam delivery folks about your N-Number. They should be able to process everything you need to get the N-Number assigned to your aircraft/serial #. It should be something they do on a regular basis and have the connections to make it seamless to you.

    Young adults and driver’s licenses

    I took my test at 8:30 on my 16th birthday (in 85) and don't recall any of my friends not getting a license within a few days of their birthdays. My daughter also had hers by noon on her 16th birthday a few years back - however, a noticeably larger number of her friends had no interest in...

    Does this sound right?

    Should this effort double the time needed for annual? Probably not IMO, especially with the condition of the documentation you described. However, completely reasonable and appropriate for the new IA to prove for himself that the documentation and work is in place. His ticket and liability...

    Anyone been to KHOT lately? Hot Springs AR

    We were there during racing season this year. Still some limited capacity issues, etc. at that time, which should be removed by now. FBO is always easy to work with and friendly. Getting a rental car was no issue, but was warned that there is no longer a taxi service operating in town (which...

    Car Rental at DNA Dona Ana

    We arranged for Enterprise to be waiting at Francis. No issues except for the rental car basically showing Empty on pickup and the concern that we might not make it to the closest gas station back towards the Sunland area for fuel - which wasn't exactly close to the airport

    Got first doze of Pfizer today

    Pfizer #2 was last Thursday. Other than the bandaid pulling on arm hairs, it was a non-event with no side effects, much like my experience with #1.

    Thinking about a Kubota

    If you could keep the Ford in good shape for the brush hogging, ditch trimming, etc., the addition of a skid steer to your arsenal as mentioned several times would be a good call. However, getting a replacement "Swiss Army Knife" being the goal, I think it's hard to beat Kubota. My experience...

    Phoenix or Tucson area ferry pilot wanted

    Good luck finding a ferry pilot to fly your uninsured plane cross country unless you're willing to hold them harmless and indemnify them for any liability that arises. Then again, from previous discussions here and on the pro boards, probably won't be hard at all ;)

    Got first doze of Pfizer today

    I got the Pfizer No. 1 last Thursday in The Woodlands/Montgomery County. The next morning, I could tell where I'd had the shot (which I couldn't the night I'd received it), but wouldn't call it sore. Same scenario for administration. There were actually two "hubs" utilizing the same stadium...
