    [NA] Best cut for a steak?

    Someone is likely to have me assassinated (and banned) for this post... But here goes! Some days, I've been driving all day and just want to have a steak. I got no time so I go visit Golden Corral after 4pm. There I can eat damn good tasting steak within a few minutes of arriving. Literally, 5...

    Thank you 6pc. I've actually been here a long time lurking. It has been quite a life. Blurting it all out there at once was the way I needed to go. I simply needed a reason to. Once I came up with the reasons why/why not in my head for doing what life told me to do... I finally did it. It's been...

    I'll post a selfie with my biz partner this week. I'm not that whatever jwj dude. -Signed a 60 year young kid. Yep. But I recognized my limitations and opted out. I just hope my boy doesn't kill himself! (he's 20 with 14 hrs). I love it! That's me. It's all good though. I've got friends that...

    I'm a realist. With my health, I'm not gonna try to end up on kathryns report. CHF is a real thing. I'd rather sit on the side of the runway eating a $100 hamburger watching my son take off. It is what it is. Faking it = death. haha. That said, at least I can fly with my friend! He lets me sit...

    Thanks all. I was not airforce atc. Think USN at sea. I was the opposite brand that damn few knew about that had a log book. Those with military experience will know where I'm coming from. And thanks for the posts!

    Follow the magenta line....

    That's like google routing you through a u-turn. Drive 3.4 miles and make a left turn. SMH... look at map. It's a freaking U turn I could have done in 20 yards.

    I'm old. 60 to be exact. My biz partner is a cfi, has his own 172. I've been in aviation all my life in one form or another, be it in avionics repair or in the military as an air controller (+ my dad was a pilot). I suck as a pilot (my attempted landings are a disaster with winds!), but I'm...

    Too Damn Many Crashes This Weekend

    Amazing how the ONLY thing that people discredit Paul Craig's book (The Killing Zone) is on his statistics evaluations. Same crap on amazon (2 out of almost 100 positives cited stats abuse). This book is not about statistics, but about learning how to stay alive. Good grief people! The link...

    Had a "certificate action" taken against me.

    Great job. He put you through the full ringer. This was just a test. Just hope you never have to do this in real life. @flyingron just said it. Welcome to the league of temporary airmen.

    Looking for a trainer

    But who uses them? (flaps like this) I went thru this mess a year ago. Glad I bowed out of the buying madness. Observed a pre-buy of a bonanza today, what a joke. Everyone left happy and no-one died during this event at the ramp. @Walbro is everywhere it seems! heheh.

    I miss plane shopping

    God I hate waiting for people to die... or retire. I always figure I'll die first.

    "Signal level" ??

    Just because the installation is new doesn't mean it should work. Why fly a perfectly good airplane within landing distance of an airport after overhaul? Chit happens. Get your modem replaced. I've had to do it a few times over the last 10 years. What's worse is the cable tv boxes... I think...

    I have two subscriptions. His course is fantastic, plus he's local.

    Commercial versus Instrument Rating

    My son doing his ppl had this problem! Instrument flying for him was much easier without having to do the 'look out the window' thing. ha! Thanks Microsoft!

    I miss plane shopping

    Nice little plane. Equipped with a rotax, they really sound quite different, which is pleasant and quite bizarre. Slippery plane, good on gas too! Friend of mine owns one and swears by it. Nothing wrong with a 182 though, other than the price/maintenance. meh... (Actually he has a Euro-Fox...
