I know this thread will be locked in a matter of minutes but here goes. I just filled out my open enrollment paperwork for my company and the plan for me and my family is $1720 per month. My employer pays half so $860 per month for me for premiums. This means to use zero medical services, my...

I just passed my written exam. Got the results and all is good. Today I get the email below. I spoke to the FSDO and they had no idea what this means. I am on the phone w/ the testing center now and they said there is an investigation underway into potential cheating. What in the actual...

So I got my 1099 tax form or whichever form from youtube. I gave it to my CPA and he said "Don't you have expenses like cameras, fuel, and other things that go along with this that you'd deduct from these earnings?" I am under the impression that I cannot do that. Maybe I am wrong but If I...

In my medical insurance policy it states that I am not covered should I be injured as a result of a plane crash. The salesman joked that "if you crash, make sure you finish dying." That got me wondering. If I die in a plane crash, my life insurance still pays. Lets say I crash my plane and I...

So there I was (Its my birthday and I am full of Dogfish Head 120 so bare with the lack of continuity) I started a new job on Wed and on day 1 I was all "awe yeah whose you're IT Director?" 3/4 through the day, I get a phone call and the # is not one I know but it is local so I answer. A dude...

I could probably pass my IR checkride at this point but never spent any time in the clouds. We went out and did some XC stuff under the foggles and broke through a thin layer multiple times departing and arriving. Danced around Texas in the Cirrus, nailing approaches, filed everywhere and...

Studying for commercial while waiting for the ink to dry on my IR cert and there's a question about what to do if the engine quits at night. The recommendation is land in an unlit area. I would think one would want to opt for a road versus a black hole. Why would I choose an unlit area...

Having beers with Squawk Shoppe Shane and the other Mooney guys and I get to talking to this guy and he goes into this story. He was flying in freezing cold weather, takes off, Hits the AP, and then falls asleep due to Carbon Monoxide poisoning. He wakes up in the plane in a field 3 hours...

Whew! What the hell was I thinking? Plane was crashed upside down on a runway where I was flying today. I was told I could land in the grass. I did and taxied to a parking spot got out and walked towered the accident plane. Here comes some sort of truck w/ flashing lights easily doing 80 right...

Today I got a wild hair and decided to go to a grass field and practice. For the locals it was Cedar mills which is very well cared for and not soft at all. I have gone there twice before but never just gone out and spent some time practicing. Question. On grass do you find it takes...

So I have a handful of websites for various things. 2 of them have upload features. Seems someone uploaded something to one of my sites on the 18th. I just caught it yesterday evening. There were 4 new folders on my site all containing jpeg images. All were identified as invalid jpeg. I...

You are at altitude 20 min from your destination (uncontrolled 4k ft runway) and it is Texas so one of those rogue plastic grocery bags has caught some lift and managed to get snagged on your pitot tube. Curious about the different answers. I know there are pilots that can feel their way to...

I just finished a 5 1/2 hour job interview! Looks like a unique gig. It is a startup with a solid backing CEO says we have deep pockets so we can pay as well as the big guys. We also give everyone equity in the company. We are looking to be aquired in 2-3 years and everyone walks away happy...

So here's the question. Is it better to buy 6 tickets to the wings of hope raffle or 3 to WOH and 3 to the terminal air museum raffle? I am in the sporty's one via purchase, and I have sent in my 200 tickets for the EAA fairchild giveaway. That leaves these 2 172s WOH sells 3000 tickets and...

That's embarrassing. I am not sure which is worse. Being known as the guy that played Screech or being known as "a dude that got stabbed by the guy that played screech" http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/26/showbiz/dustin-diamond-arrest/index.html?hpt=hp_c3

Response to Center providing weather Couple times today flying and I would switch to another freq. They would say "6PC, winds blah blah current altimeter 30.01 Visibility unlimited" Do I need to respond to that? I feel dumb going "Thanks, 6PC" I tend to read back the altimeter setting but...

Flying into Spinks (Ft Worth) this morning they told me the runway was closed and to land on the grass. I see the plane upside down on the runway and ask "what happened there?" Tower: "We found the plane upside down when we opened this morning, no body was in or around the plane and nothing...

I use Power director by cyber-link. It is okay and very in expensive. In that same price range (Free in the piratebay) are there better video editors? What video editors do you use that are not like after effects as far as price / learning curve but maybe have a little more to offer. Power...
