I mean, getting what you asked for…..
This is my unsympathetic face. You folks supported illegal immigration as long as it was someone else’s problem. Now it has become your problem as well. Enjoy it.
“The dido of consequences seldom comes lubed”
I did my Insurance Mandated Refresher training in the 340. It was challenging and fun.
Due to some issues with getting the plane back to flight worthy and such, it was an issue with timing. I missed three openings in August because the plane was not ready, and it was fortuitous that this opening happened in the manner that it did, as I have to do this every 24 calendar months and I last did it 20 Aug 2021….And I could not fly the plane without a 340 experienced instructor until I completed the training…..
However, the trainer had to be nearby for other commitments, so it worked, as he then needed a ride home….. so we met, preflighted the plane, and I flew it to Minneapolis, doing the training there (and on the way). Then I flew back home. He helped pay for the gas, so It worked out.
Challenging, I must say. Pretty much a biennial flight review for twin engine flying mixed with a checkride. .
I did get compliments on my flying, handling of the airplane and of the fact that I tend to stay well ahead of the airplane (pilots, especially instrument pilots, will understand).
Overall the trip was fun. I am still not happy with the way the engines are set up, and will be pursuing that further. Plus the CHT’s were not where they should be. That is gonna get worked on.
But I can fly again and still have insurance now, so there is that.
But then again, anyone with more than two neurons to rub together could have told you that…..In fact, may of us DID state exactly that. But we weren’t government (or media ) “Experts”…just folks with common sense, so we were ignored.
But everyone was told “trust the “Experts”….who had absolutely no reason to make any of the statements they did, no evidence except that “that is what they do in hospitals”…..
But since it doesn’t make a difference, they want us to mask up again…..This isn’t about Public Health, it is about Compliance. Anyone with the cognitive ability of limp Broccoli can tell you that Masks Don’t Work.
I hope every state follows suit.
This law follows a Tennessee law enacted last year. Personally, I think that drunk or negligent drivers should have to personally pay compensation to their victims, orphaned children or whatever. Liquidate their assets and then send them to prison….
But this is a start.
I have had similar advice given to me….which is why I often “Make the chili”.
You can read the entire post at Woodsterman, but I will post a bit of it here…
A good friend of mine unexpectedly lost his wife. A couple months later we were golfing together, chatting about nothing. He asked what my dinner plans were and I told him wifey wanted my homemade chili and cornbread, but I didn’t feel like stopping at the store. We golfed a few more minutes when he quietly said, “Make the chili.”
It took me a few minutes to realize we were no longer talking about dinner. It was about going out of your way to do something for someone you love because at any moment, they could unexpectedly be taken from you.~~~~(read the rest at the link)
So think about it….take the time to “Make the Chili” while you can. Enjoy the time that you have left with those that you love, Do what makes them (and you) happy if you can…while you can…. If they’ll let you.
Time doesn’t run backwards.
You know who you are.
Congratulations on another successful orbit around our sun. May you find happiness and fulfillment on your next orbit.
The Dems have made it clear that if the additional 22 BILLION DOLLARS in “aid” Ukraine doesn’t happen, then there will be no aid for the folks (Americans) in either Maui (wildfires) or in Florida (hurricane).
Funding Ukraine is a lever they are willing to sacrifice their fellow citizens upon. Ukraine aid (and kickbacks?) over helping American Citizens. Sad. Disgusting really. Even for politicians this is low.
Typical. They have Porked up nearly every disaster relief bill ever since they found that they could since Katrina.
Of course, this time there is likely to be a significant payoff for those who push for more “Aid” for Ukraine…..This time they are putting another country in front thf American Citizens.

50 years ago, over a Labor Day weekend, the GPS navigation system as we know it was conceived. Yep, 1973.
And now we use it for everything. Navigation via your smartphone, crop planting, auto navigation, surveying, aircraft positioning data as well as both aircraft and ship navigation. GPS touched your lives many times each day.
All because of an impromptu meeting over Labor Day weekend 50 years ago.
Has passed.
Fox News says he passed “at age 76 due to undisclosed health issues”
Bummer. I may have to drink a margarita this evening just for him.
So the younger guy asks the older dude:
“How is your love life as you get older?”
“Pretty good,” says the old man. “Of course, it’s always ‘Doggy style” these days.”
“Doggy style?” says the young man
“Yep,” says the old guy “She generally rolls over and pays dead”.
