Sunriver is pretty awesome. People can stay in VRBO houses or the hotel. As long as a few folks got rental cars, we'd be good (or a few locals attended). S21 https://www.sunriverfbo.com/ I'd make that. 2 hours in a 172 from Seattle and not rediculous for California/AZ/etc folks.

AND, I happen to know that Gary is a really nice guy in person who's easy to be around. Give yourself a chance Gary, sorry I haven't been back down to CA in a few years, I haven't had time to fly much.

I agree and it sounds like they are just in really different places. Look deep in your heart and decide to either let her go find the right person, or see that you truly have the same priorities that she does. AT this point, it looks like she wants to settle down and he doesn't, so stop...

Wow, no kidding. I had the chance to talk to John briefly about 4 years ago when I was considering an Aztec. He was an amazing guy.

A lot of training traffic, so it's 50/50 if they remind you about the mandatory VFR reporting point at Valley Medical Additionally (and you wouldn't have reason to know this) Auburn is both a town and a pilot controlled airport (S50), so your call leaves ambiguity of am I taking off from the...

10 miles out: "Renton Tower, Cessna N12345 is over auburn with Romeo, full stop" "Cessna N12345, fly direct for rwy 34, report Valley Medical Center" "Renton Tower, rwy 34, report valley medical, N12345"

I'd also think about if you'll want instrument or night flight later. Since the medical is easy for you, I'd knock out your PPL and know you have the option (as other's mentioned) to take the SP checkride before your reach the PPL checkride point, if you want. But with a 3rd class medical and...

Lots of good advice here. I've done probably 10 asphalt shingle roofs in my lifetime either helping family or family helping me. It's hot, heavy work, but really doable once you figure out how to start/end/work around penetrations. That said, on the ADU I built, we had a standing seam metal...

Wouldn’t that have a similar affect to right rudder plus drag? Yeah, sounds scary Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yes. I think one of the biggest things goes back to people at all ages asking themselves. "What do I need to do in life to accumulate the wealth *I* want?" The answer is that there are tons of ways to do it, but if you don't ask yourself that, and BELIEVE that you can do something about it...

I think this is generally true, but I know thousands of 401k/housing/RSU millionaires in the coastal areas. There are different ways to get there. MidwestPA24 - I agree generally, but there are some real scary and traumatic things that happen in poverty that you don't tend to see as much in...

I work in tech, and our "lower paid" people make 120K/year. I've talked dozens of them through how to maximize our very generous benefits over the years (401k match, HSA contributions, etc). It's shocking how many bright, highly driven people just don't think about it. I was looking from day...

A lot of us with older houses have 20A circuits in our garage, so we can take 16A at 120V on level 1 charging.

continental?

Domenick, we went down for Spring break last year and it was amazing, but COLD even in April. I think for us PNW folks, the middle elevations like Sedona are going to be more favorable weather to escape our "soup".
