Gentlemen, thanks for all the great advice. I am leaning toward the Hatteras/Morehead City ideas currently. My girls are still small so some of the more remote options might have to be saved for an outing with just the Mrs. or once they get older. What about using Morehead City as a trailhead...

It’s not the leg, it’s where they’ve sat of course. Subways, dr offices, gyms...festering places where filth accumulates. I give all my guests a freshly laundered green flight suit to put on.

We are on the same page. Coffee, chicken, and open containers of Jet-A are not allowed in my house. I do like to spritz on a few drops of 100-LL as cologne though I find it tends to attract male pilots moreso than ladies. o_O

Exactly what I meant. No pants or cell phones are allowed in my house. They bring in all sorts of filthy stuff from outside.

I've visited Dachau as well and though I did not experience anything like that, felt that something was "off." Hard to put a finger on it but the hairs were standing up on my neck much of the time. That said I've been in real estate for a while and have visited hundreds of houses and not seen...

Almost as bad as certified mail...

We have 14 rental properties equaling 53 units and a bakery (operated by my wife). My advice: Don't mess around with single family houses or even duplexes. Go for 4 and 5 unit buildings until you build a portfolio. Problem with single families is you either get the rent, or don't...there's no...

This post--maybe not the one I deserved, but the one I needed today. Thanks for the lolz.

There's a reason cell phones are verboten in the food industry. Touch subway banister, touch cell phone. Touch smeary glass window, touch cell phone. Rest cell phone on toilet in gym while using facility. Loan cell phone to friend to call Mr. X. Cell phone sits on car seat for a while, then goes...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for airports to fly into on the east coast that would be a good gateway to some fishing experiences. Lake or ocean, proximity and ease of access are what matter. The last couple years have been a hurricane of constant elder care and general...

Now that is an interesting bit of ethnographic insight. On another topic, all of this obsession with shoes and no love for cell phones. Covered in more bacteria, oil and grime than any shoe could ever hope to have. Think of how many times you touch some sketchy stuff and then grab your cell...

Were you the folks who had it in pre-buy prior to me? Or did you not make it that far? The seller told me the previous person backed out after the pre-buy because of the very issue you just mentioned. I really like turbos, have since one of the first cars I owned (an old Saab 900T) and when I...

The electric pump is there should the engine driven one fail. Do the placarded or other landing checklist before maneuvering and before landing. That way you get in the habit of using it. Everything on there is common to both, and that includes the fuel pump. Most of the PPL maneuvers replicate...

See original post in thread, pics (should) now be there.

GRG 55, I wanted to thank you publicly for the list of maintenance items you posted previously. I have to confess I copied and pasted it directly from the forum to a word document, and then sent it to the A&P doing the prebuy, "this is from a friend who knows his way around Aztecs, and I want...

Hey, this is the 5th, so now we should be all set, brother!

This is the 4th post I make, which moves me closer to being able to post pictures.

It’s perhaps fitting to my bank account that Piper named this bird after a tribe of Mesoamericans who practiced human sacrifice, but here is my new bird. I got her for a good deal, and the airframe is a cherry. Needs a couple minor things like ads-b and a few maint items. Thanks to those of you...

Thanks for the help so far. Some real gold already and I appreciate it. It is a 1973 "E" turbo model. Same year I was born so perhaps there is some luck in that. I will post pics once the sales agreement is inscribed on parchment and I've been out to see her again (I know, I sound like a...

So after years of pining I finally found a light twin that satisfies all of my wants and needs. My new to me Aztec turbo is supposedly going to pre-buy sometime this week. The insurance company wants at least 5 hours of dual with an MEI before they will sign me off to solo her. I was wondering...
