I poured a glass of wine for the husband...he drinks it out of a rocks glass. He sets it on the end table while doing other stuff. Half hour later, he asked me how full the glass was since he thought it had "shrunk". I agreed that it was less than I poured, and asked if his brain was addled, and...

My oldest brother got his PPL at 70 years of age, and now at 73, buys his first plane! Where did I go wrong? :yikes: :wink2:

We got back from vacation Sunday night, and the house was a little chilly. Throw a couple of logs in the fireplace, having a glass of wine, and then....a horrible rumble begins. The chimney's on fire!!! Good news, it was contained in the chimney. Bad news, it's a pre-fab system, and it's...

Has anyone owned or worked with a deaf dog? What are some of the challenges you had?

...I let dogs in my life. My little Sheltie mix, Lance, that I "rescued" 8 yrs ago hasn't been himself for the past week. This morning I decided it was vet time, but my favorite vet wasn't in, so I made an appointment for Monday morning. The day wore on, things didn't seem quite right, and...

Heading south in a couple of days, just trying to decide where. For those who stayed the night at Jekyll Island, where did you stay and what were the pluses/minuses of the place. Thx

What a difference a day makes. Back up today, and no problem with staying 2 steps ahead of the airplane. :D So of course, the CFI made sure to keep it entertaining. At one point, I told ATC that the evil instructor said I had to do the full ILS approach with procedure turn. And then he makes...

Took this week off so I could schedule back-to-back days learning to fly instruments with the new panel…G500/430W. Today started off with low fog, and had to wait until about noonish for JYO to get above minimums. But once it started clearing, it moved out fast, and by the time we were on our...

....I love the G500. The Trinnie got back last week from an upgrade to a G500 supported with a G430W. Today I took it up for my first flight, and it's pretty cool! I'm not Garmin savvy as most of my experience is with some form of King Bendix. I've played with the g1000 at our school...

My family reunion next year is in California on Memorial Day weekend. I'd like to make it an adventure with the Trinnie. And to make the best of it, I'd like to fly a northern route one-way, the southern route the other way. But I'm guessing the northern route could be a little too...

Getting ready to visit my AME, so I'm reviewing my doctor receipts from the last 2 years. I have one that says "hip pain". For the life of me, I can't remember having any problems with my hip. And I didn't get any meds for it, so I'm not sure how to report it. I know the AME will ask about...

Next week I'm going to catch up with my sister and her family down on Table Rock Lake. I really like what I read on AirNav about KFWB. Has anyone been there? Anything special I should know about? Any info is appreciated!

Ok, it's time for the traditional May get-away.....1st week. We're headed south, but i'm not motivated to go all the way to the Keys (already been there twice). We're stopping in SC for a couple of days to visit family, and then heading on south. I haven't been to the Kennedy Space Center, so...

Anyone going to be out wasting AvGas for food this Sunday?

Just got back from giving the dog his noon-time walk. You won't believe what we saw.....or maybe you will. A neighbor's maltese is now 100% "screaming pink" instead of white! :yikes: I'm a dog lover and will put bandanas and sometimes a hat on a dog, but dye the dogs fur....are you...

Got a call from Landmark Aviation (JYO) this morning. I was told the Easter Bunny had visited me, and I was receiving a $200 gift card. :D I didn't even know there was a drawing, or that I had entered. I guess my fuel purchase last week was my entry. Nice way to start a Monday. Now, time...

........but I grab the CFI and went flying..... It was good....:yes: :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Someone told me that married men live longer than single men, but married women don't live as long as single women. I've decided that's an absolute truth! After 2 months of discussing the issues surrounding the Trinidad lease, I thought the husband and I were on the same page. Even tho he was...

For a several reasons, I'm not renewing my lease on the Trinidad when it expires this month. It was a hard decision as I truly enjoyed flying that bird. Guess we'll see what happens next...... p.s. Tony, haven't told the husband yet that he'll be finding me at the glider club once the wx...

Willing to trade......or best offer......:lightning:
