    Retirement

    Already committed, worse case is I give it to someone if I don't like it. Fortunately, I have always been blessed to be able to sleep in any configuration, position,and level of comfort. I have always slept as well on the floor as in an expensive bed. The funny part of the Hammock is trying...

    Retirement

    Oh, I agree, I love to camp, just bought a new hammock as I am going to try and use it this year on solo backpacking trips instead of a tent. Little lighter, supposed to be more comfortable. But, "camping" to me means "sleeping and eating outdoors", which, that fills up the 8 hours at night...

    Will General Aviation Survive

    GA will be around, until we are expected to pay our own way, then it will dry up quicker than you can blink. I fly around and land at lots of empty, out of the way airports, ones with no FBO's, 1 or 2 planes tied down. And cities continue to fund the upkeep, for me to have some place to fly...

    Retirement

    Could you do those and extra 40-50-60-70 hours per week, that you currently spend on working, commuting, dressing nicely, etc? What does "camp full time" end up looking like? Waking up and cooking eggs/bacon on a cast iron pan over a fire or in an RV instead of in teflon coated skillet in a...

    Update on urine tests

    Maybe you don't understand the words "purpose" and "value".

    Retirement

    Not sure if I am "young", but that is a struggle for me. What I would do to fill up the hours in the day. I can only mow the lawn for a few hours a week, for 9 months of the year. I am not going to suddenly fire my cleaning lady and start cleaning my own toilets. My dad is 75 and still goes...

    Learn me about P-ponk conversions

    I have to laugh at your inability to communicate effectively. In one long, rambling reply, you have 8 different descriptions of places to land airplanes. And then demand stats..... These are all the ways you imprecisely described places to land airplanes in your response. not places most...

    What is the purpose and the value of this comment? What is the action you would hope happens?

    This is gold, Jerry, gold!!!!! I am laughing at this discussion..... That is rich, you don't know what my position is, so you fabricate a position for me, and then disagree with it. Keep on fabricating..... I guess.... Well, thanks for advising us all that stats and data don't matter to...

    Retirement

    Yes, I am likely oversimplifying economics, due to the audience reading. When you have someone state "I don't need no fancy data and no stinkin' CPI to tell me that my hamburger will be $25 in a couple of years"... then one must oversimplify. If you want to see "economic" pain, go into the...

    Update on urine tests

    POA has a very committed contingent of members who race to declare "TROLL" and attempt to stop discussions and end threads. For some reason, they seek to minimize content on the forum. Despite good information and insight being shared. And, once the first "TROLL" comment is made, the sheep...

    Driving a Semi Tractor for Fun

    Even if a weigh station is closed, you can still roll across the scales and get a weight. If you find one early on your trip, with full fuel, that will be a good starting point. Not sure the purpose, but I have seen a lot of "personal" trucks with a "NOT FOR HIRE" sticker on both doors, for...

    Retirement

    What the hell are you talking about? I replied to a comment you made where you said data should be ignored and that you knew $60/hour minimum wages were a couple years away. Is using data and relying on analysis of data some sort of failed "socioeconomic" theory? And how could it be a...

    Learn me about P-ponk conversions

    There is quite a bit of nonsense in this comment. There are tons of short, high airports where a P-Ponk 182 would shine. And add safety and margin Lots of 182s are getting larger nose forks and bigger wheels. I am on the waiting list for a bigger nose fork. Sent from my iPhone using...

    I don't worry about falling off 60 story buildings, and, I understand way more physics than you do, because the possibility is 0%. Nor do I waste energy worrying about inflation driving minimum wage to $60/hour, or vice versa. You kind of use bad language. You should work on expanding your...

    Retirement

    And that makes things interesting as you live into your 80's, your "kids" are in their 60's when they finally get their hands on the estate. I don't think an inheritance at age 60 is going to dissuade someone from education and working in life... It just kind of brings up the purpose of work...

    Update on urine tests

    I am always amused by people who take drug tests and don't like the results, as if they were surprised with the answer. It seems like one of the few tests in life, where you actually know the answer before you take it.

    Also assumes they are smart enough to benefit you, and that can be a big challenge. It doesn't take much to hang a shingle out front and call your self a "Financial Planning Professional", and even toss some random letters after your name. A good financial planner is worth their weight in...
