How long until the economy collapses? House prices everywhere are insane! Not to mention plane, boat, rv's,etc. Wife told me to buy a plane, but I'm not about to drop 60k for a 172 or cherokee.

Our 20 year old cat is at the end of life. If he makes it through the night, we are taking him to the vet tomorrow to be put down. Not sure how to explain this to our 3 year old. He loves this cat and the cat loves him. We've talked about the cat going to heaven soon. And he goes to catholic school, and they do a little religion learning, so it's not a complete foreign concept to him. Anyone have any tips? My wife has had this cat before me, so not sure how well she will be able to handle this part of it.

So I took my son to the Liberty Aviation Museum at Port Clinton, OH this morning. They are restoring a Ford Tri-Motor in one corner of the main hangar. I started talking to the chief mechanic, and next thing I know, I'm going to be volunteering starting next week for 6 hours on Tuesdays. The mechanic is happy because most of the volunteers are over 70 and only a very few are pilots. He's retired Air Force. Says he can teach me anything, but he's happy he doesn't have to explain the difference between an elevator and aileron. Think he's going to have me bending the sheet metal and drilling holes in the leading edge of the wings to start. I'll take a bunch of pics next week. I'm really excited.

Finally after injuries, life, etc., got in the way, I got my first flight in almost 3 years. Got checked out in an Archer, and did the manuevers for a flight review. Did a few Wings courses, and the CFI said he would sign off as me being current later this week. Going to try to get in to see an AME to get either Basicmed (did the AOPA course yesterday) or 3rd class in the next few weeks. Thinking basicmed, because I'm almost positive a 3rd class will get deferred by the FAA, and I don't trust them. The AME is part of a club a few miles from me, and I'm going to try to feel him out to see if they are looking for new members. Felt good to be in a cockpit again.

So my wife's idiot coworker had a son living in New York. Son gets sick, and mom convinces him to come back to Milwaukee 2 weeks ago. Retard gets on an airplane and flies back home. Coworker been sick over a week. Well, son comes back positive for Coronavirus yesterday. So these idiots have been in contact with untold numbers of people the past 2 weeks.

My wife works remotely from home in Ohio, but I have had to go to her office a couple times the past 2 weeks for stuff. Idiot talked to me while I was there. I didn't know at the time but he has been coming to work sick for over a week. Now I'm back in Ohio possibly passing it off to family.

My cousin is the charge nurse at local ER, so I'm waiting for her to call me back to see if I should get tested. My exposure to him was minimal, but the other people in the office helped me with paperwork. It's a small office, 5 people total.

I'm about to drive back to Milwaukee and beat them with some rubber hoses.

I can't even fathom how this idiot's thought process...

18 years ago, "some people did some things". Let's never forget the innocents and heroes who died that day. And never allow the terrorists from foreign countries who are trying to destroy our way of life, and those from inside our country who support them from getting their way.
