Bad news for "Half Fast"

Are you sure they didn’t boot someone out?
 
Typical...foreigners coming in and buying up all the houses and not even living in them :biggrin:

I thought Canukistan dollars were near worthless these days? Actually, isn't it about time for you to upgrade airplanes again?

Keep two things in mind:

1. I moved to Dallas last year so I am now making real dollars.
2. Canukistan might soon become Canamarica when we become the 51st state so I wouldn't be a foreigner anymore.

Plane upgrade: Nope, still very much liking the Comanche. I don't think I'll ever get rid of it.

Show us the house!

If I ever get my engine back together, we should fly somewhere and meet up.

It'll be a short term rental. Let me get things ready and I'll share pictures when done :)

A house in TX, a house in FL and a fast plane to ferry the family between -- that's the life! Congrats! :cool:

Thank you! And another one in Canada but it's too cold up there so we avoid that one - luckily it's rented out on a longer lease.

Do you have to enable the turn signal to be permanently on in your car, or does Florida do that for you

It's offered as a free service to all retirees. You just have to show evidence that you're retired and any car dealership will do it for you and then bill Tallahassee.
 
is that different than the cars with the turn blinker on all the time?
 
Be advised if you move to Florida, you must gradually assimilate to Florida Man culture.
We have a flight school on our field operated by a nice fellow from New Jersey. I used to chuckle at him showing up in the summer wearing a collared shirt tucked in to khaki trousers and docksider loafers. He has gradually relaxed his attire. Soon I expect him to be giving lessons shirtless, wearing cutoff jean shorts and Crocs, sporting a mullet, and carrying a small alligator, a bottle of tequila, and fireworks.

Of course, he’ll also have to learn to hum a few Jimmy Buffet tunes....

Well, that's why we're not moving here. Texas is home. Once I observe any Florida man traits, we head back to Texas each time to detox.

Turn signal? At least here in this part of Florida it seems like cars aren’t equipped with them.

I think it’s the little lever doohickey us rural Iowan natives use that makes a light flash before turning to warn other drivers to be carful because we saw a police car in the area.
 
I suppose the drivers there aren’t polite enough to pull over into the wrong side of two way highways when they are turning left with car behind them either…

That's always how it starts. But each time it takes longer and longer to recognize those traits. Sort of like oxygen deprivation or alcohol consumption.

It just seems that way. When my wife points out that I changed lanes in front of another car I explain to her that turn signals give information to the enemy. If you turn you signal on they know you are trying to get in front of them and they speed up to cut you off. You have to jump in before they realize what's happening.
