  1. After having difficulty getting on the schedule w my CFI, I laid out my goals and expectations a little more clearly to him. Long story short, I'll be back in the air Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
  2. You're probably an XL in Peter Millar. Whatever your t-shirt size is, go one less w Peter Millar. FootJoy shirts are enormous.
  3. My father would claim that they were lazy.
  4. Old guys bailed quick to pee.
  5. If its 5 from each, the current here should rank Warren, Castro, Beto, Booker, Klobocher...and maybe the crazy gov from Wash, just for fun.
  6. "Calmer than you are."
  7. Joe LaCava is 64 year old. Holy crap.
  8. If I were Greller, I would jokingly hand Jordan the driver on 8 tee.
  9. Now even the green label Weller is not on the shelves. 12 and Antique for sure, but regular?
  10. Tracy McGrady Syndrome. Too much horizontal Mambo.
  11. Jake from Take/Rake Farm
  12. How long is Correa expected out again?
  13. The problem is the McNair family. End of story. Wanted to be the Steelers, now the Patriots. No identity, no vision.
  14. Well it's a driller not producer but yeah that's not a great market going forward. I hear ya. Wish I would have cut my losses on DO when they were in the teens a few months back.
  15. K was worth staying up. HAHA
  16. Nope. Betty Blackwell.
  17. Let us know what kind of shape the courses are in and restaurant/bar recs. I'm going to be up there next week. 5/29 Wed - Erin Hill 5/30 Thur - Whistling Straits - Irish Course 5/31 Fri - Blackwolf Run - River Course 6/1 Sat - Whistling Straits - Straits Course
  18. I think it is him, but the story of him getting too high and his daughter that puts the deodorant in the fridge had me rolling.
  19. Toad in the Hole. Runny egg and lots of butter in the pan.
  20. As a student pilot, I'm sure my CFI would lose his shit if took my hand off the throttle. Sounds like an experienced pilot move.
  21. AOPA membership. Worth it?
  22. First off, thoughts and prayers to the victims and their families in the accident in Alaska. Horrible and probably avoidable. Had another lesson Sunday. Good conditions. As you guys said, the taxi is coming along nicely now. Went out to the West practice area (out towards Kilgore and Gladewater). We did a lot of rudder work. I was still having a tough time getting my feel, so he made me take my shoes off to get a better feel. At one point, he covered all instruments up and said "Fly me to Longview". This was to get me to start identifying landmarks. Once we got to Longview, he said fly me to your house. Very cool and we got some pictures. This seemed like a different session in that it was less about maneuvers and more about VFR flying. Turning not just to a certain heading, but to a landmark. Had a good base and turn to final and landed. A couple things on the landing that I had questions on. First, it sure seemed like I was going to land short of the runway, but we obviously didn't. I guess that is about getting more reps and understanding my true position on the final. I guess as long as I have 2 whites, and 2 reds I'm good. Also, when is the right time to flare? How much back pressure (is there a spot on the horizon I should use)? How long do I hold it (until the back wheels are down?). Thanks again for this forum. It really helps me debrief and review my lessons.
