Dang!! I got nominated to the trolling hall of fame 6 years after the fact. And by someone that wasn't even a member at the time! That's epic!! (Sorry for the necropost. I was searching for my original post and this one popped up as well. I couldn't resist posting.)

Just happen to be passing through. Always fun to edit Sac's books. This is the 3rd one where I got a credit. Love that Lesouris guy!!!

Just swinging by to update my epic post. I figured this would be good place to put it. Me and Henning had several meet ups and we always had a good time together. When asked about of list of things Henning has never done, I used to joke that there was only one item on that list. It was "hold a...

Heard over on the Purple Board this thread was out there. I put a quick post in another thread and decided to check this one out. Heading back to my boycott status. See y'all over at the Purple Board!! Dangit!! That was Top Secret! Now I'm gonna have to hunt you down and kill you!!

Just heard Peter Mueller is planning on flying a Raptor to Oshkosh this year. EDIT: For the record, I haven't been keeping up with his progress. I just happened to hear this little tidbit.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's "when in a position to land" or some such. I've seen some circling minimums that are pretty high. At least higher than I'd want to be on final that close to the runway. Edit: Better wording... "In a position from which a descent to a landing on the...

NC and VA both had a similar program, but it was paper based. You landed at an airport, you got your passport stamped. After landing at a certain number of airports, you got some sort of gift. VA was giving away leather jackets as the top prize for visiting every public field in the state (minus...

Another item from Facebook... Someone asked me if I was interested in a 401k. I said are you crazy. There is no way I can run that far!

Assuming you don't really have any medical issues, it looks like it would be easier to just cough up the money and time to get a new Class III. I am curious to find out what Dr Kurrle did to invoke the ire of the FAA. Was a crash involved???

Yep, kinda like how I got taxed to supplement the people that couldn't/wouldn't pay their mortgages a few years ago. I ended up paying my mortgage and some deadbeat's mortgage as well.

Too lazy to quote, however in my experience most of the people that say they have nothing left over to put away for retirement probably have things they can cut out of their spending. We're talking cigarettes, the daily trip to Starbucks, getting the highest level of cable when all you do is...

Gary Mascelli had this on his facebook page today. Thought it was appropriate...

I left AT&T in the mid-80s. Earlier this year I was contacted by Fidelity and found out that I'll be getting a pension from them starting when I turn 65. I'll be getting ~$155/month!! :rollercoaster:

...and it's gone... Less than 3 hours according to the website.

Personally, I'm looking at SS to be a nice little pay raise when I turn 70. I would have to do some serious lifestyle changes to live on that small of a check every month.

That's what I'm doing now. However, I put a bunch more in the post tax side of the 401k and roll it into my Roth IRA a couple times a year. That's where I'm at. I've now had six 401ks and one SEP. All were rolled into IRAs as soon as I switched jobs. 401ks are okay, but like Sac, I hate being...

Not sure if this qualifies, but I found this online a few weeks ago...

That's pretty much what you need to do. Try not to wait sixty days though. Schedule it as soon as you can. You'll nail it.

I was an early adopter and cut the cord back in the 90s. This is the main reason I did it. I was tired of paying for all the religious/shopping/etc. channels that I never wanted to watch. Of course, they didn't have streaming services back then, so I was stuck with Blockbuster for a while.
