No wories, I won`t be getting above 10,000 feet for a few years yet. So icing won`t be an issue. It can occur at lower altitudes, as early as 4k, but conditions would probably prevent being up at that time.
Getting all my supplies together, books , binders etc, man I`m going to have to get a two wheeled dollie to carry all this every week!!! getting excited though, start next Tuesday. I`ll get some pics up as I can!
Here`s something you might enjoy, I`m using it for inspiration

OK, final word on the situation with my childhhod friend. She did come over Saturday night, her and wife hit it off very well. No sense of tension at all. They made plans to go to dinner together soon and now have each others cell numbers. Great evening overall! I appreciate and understand the concern that was voiced, but all is good.

Wouldn`t say she`s an old flame, I had the crush on her as a teenager, we are 46 now, I did not know she had a crush on me as well until just over a week ago!
And, my wife has been out with two of her old flames, one former husband and one old boyfriend.
If either of us are not happy at home, either of us are free to leave at anytime. This was the subject of a very deep conversation between us a long time ago and we agreed that whichever one that decides they want out, it`s that person that packs up and leaves. we`re about to hit the 15 year mark, so I think we`re good.
And to really cement the no worry clause here, my friend, Julie, is coming to the house this weekend to meet her. I have no doubt they will get along fine.
like I had said originally, I am treading lightly , I have a lot to lose and do not want to lose it. And we have two amazing boys. [Show/Hide Quoted Message] (Quoting Message by METALMANJP from Friday, June 29, 2012 7:59:22 AM)

Yea bro, think if the tables were turned, your wife has an old flame show up and meets him for a few drinks. You should probably stop it now before it gets out of control. Especially if you have children. The half hour of pleasure could have a lifetime of regret. Just my opinion.

While this is a difficult situation, I am aware of what it could turn into. I never stay out late (since I work nights anyway), so shuffling off to a hotel is not an option, I have only seen her during the week, usually leave and go straight to work. I have to be there at 11 PM. and I can`t miss or be late as I am a supervisor. I always have told my wife where we`ll be, which is only a few minutes from our house.
There has been a stir of old emotions, but nothing more than a casual hug before we part. I have a lot to lose and I realize that and I am not willing to give those things up for an affair. We have always been on opposite sides of the table and just talk about the old days and what has been up since then. No in-appropriate conversation.
Besides I am not the cheating type of person. Happened to me while I was in the Army, memory keeps me from causing that kind of grief again recaling how I felt back then.
But yea, I`m also a cash guy!

Dude, you are so setting yourself up for disaster and I'm not talking about your flying plans.
How much do you love your wife? It's pretty obvious from your comments that there will me
more than just friendship involved. You had a major crush on her. You're meeting her for drinks.
When you rent that room don't use your credit card. That will be your wife's first piece of evidence
in divorce court. It's your life, do your thing, but try to remember why you married your wife and do
you want to stay married to her?
Good luck!

Thanks gang, but it will be a slow process, as I mentioned. And that is just for the basic pilots license, there is a ton of other certifications to get to really be able to enjoy flying. But it is only a matter of studying then passing the testing.
As for my friend, we have hung out three times now just for dinner an drinks. The wife has voiced concern since I am not trying to hide anything from her. I have assured her that she has nothing to be concerned with. Now, if I can only convince myself of that!!!! |

Always the thrill seeker, motorcyling is amazing for me, but I decided I want more. My oldest son is in the Civil Air Patrol (google if you`re curious) I finally joined as a senoir member.
Time will be tight, but I`ll be learning to fly! Now I will be on a two year schedule, so it will be a slow process for sure. Buying a plane is a financial impossibility. BUT,I have two co-workers that have been renting a plane to maintain their hours, we`ve talked and may go in and split the cost three ways at a later date. But their is a lot still pending on that one.
Now the day I decided to do all this, another blessing of sorts came my way, an old childhood friend found me, we grew up together as neighbors from age 7. this made me very happy as well as I had a huge crush on her during our teens, and she still looks amazing! Can`t say the same for myself, but being back in contact with her has opened up some fond old memories!  Plus, she only lives 3 miles away! And yes, I`ll be treading lightly.
There you go!! |
