why does the dog have human ears?

Probably goes without saying to lawyer up.

A pet peeve is people announcing positions using IFR fixes at uncontrolled fields. Sorry, but announcing you're over UCETI inbound for 14 doesn't help a VFR pilot much. Even with an instrument rating, I don't always have approaches memorized.

Sorry, just now seeing this. I was out of town on Saturday or I would have liked to meet everyone.

May want to at least inform the restaurant. The hostess(es) at Perfect Landing can be very cranky when people show up without a reservation. Even when there are only a few people there for breakfast.

I've been able to buy non-polarized at Sam's Club, but not Costco. Costco (at least here) only sells polarized.

I did a weekend course at American Flyers in Dallas. Like others have pointed out, it teaches the test and along with some memory aides from Sheppard, I passed with a score in the 90s (I believe). I learn/memorize better in a classroom setting, so Sheppard wasn't working for me by itself. YMMV.

I found some of Sheppard's memorization tools helpful, but overall it didn't work for me by itself. I finally enrolled in an American Flyers weekend ground school.

I'm sure it nice to have that behind you....

If you haven't arranged hotel in Fredericksburg, the Hangar Hotel is awesome. Right on the airport, very clean, and with a great bar. There is a restaurant next door, as well. https://www.hangarhotel.com/

There is a lot of horse property near Centennial airport (KAPA), though I hear hangar space is impossible to come by. I think the area is called Foxfield, off of Arapahoe Rd. Not sure what's around Front Range Airport (FTG), but that's pretty close to Denver International.

Anxious to get it behind him.

I drove from Denver to Dallas a few months ago and found that Texas Supercharger rates were very low compared to Colorado and New Mexico, in fact about half. There was even one Supercharger (Amarillo) that was free for some reason. I guess it's been that way for some time. I read that...

I've had a Model Y for just about a year now, and paid for the Full Self Driving option. I wish I hadn't. I quickly turned off the Navigate on Autopilot automatic lane changes, as they were(are) too abrupt. Plus, the car can't really see a turn signal on another vehicle beyond the lane next...

Thank you! I hadn't seen that before. Clear isn't worth it to me if I'm paying for it. But free is a different story!
