Sold. :)

I'm selling my Garmin 496 (includes everything it originally came with). It is about 1 year old, has been used for about 100 hours, and is in perfect condition. My plane partner and I will be sharing one between us, rather than each having one. I will be posting an eBay auction in the next day...

Aren't we suppose to support the procurement of new gadgets irrespective of cost? :) If I wanted to be practical, I could talk with my wife. :D

I had the original Moto Q and noticed if the battery ran all the way down....it died. Yup, died. Even after recharging, it would get hung at the splash screen and there was no way to perform a hard reset according to Motorola. Since then I've been carrying around that monster Palm Treo 700P...

Thanks, Jim. I have spent many years brainwashing them in this whole flying thing. :D They actually say they want to be pilots one day.....go figure. ;) (My master plan is unfolding. ;)) Heck, this trip even resulted in three new people at the controls (sister, brother-in-law, and wife!) and...

Dave - I understand--you heard I was coming down and you scooted out east! My feelings aren't hurt......much. ;)

At least with regard to my brother-in-law, he had the big sh** eating grin on his face along with the two handed death grip. :rofl:

That is one of my favorite videos. With proper planning and training, I'd love to do that!
