No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

Congratulations!
I bet this goes into the building fund! 
But make sure you do something fun with part of the bonus. We always let DH have a "toy" from every bonus; just always kept it at < 10% and banked the rest.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

LOL, one of my friends had one of these. He had a lot of fun with it. He did warn about the $100 hamburger problem though.
Excellent

one of these as in "a small plane" or "a six"
yes, to keep your currency, you need to keep flying. my employer has a pilot interest group that does stuff like that (you fly one way, i'll fly the way home and we'll split the gas).
The Cherokee Piper. I think my friend was 60 when he got his license and bought his plane. Although he never told me I'm sure he wrote part of it off as a business expense. Although based in the N. San Francisco Peninsula he owned property in Gilroy, Arcata, and Santa Barbara.
Funny story. DFIL was a Navy pilot and a sail plane instructor after retirement. He was based in So. CA (actually I'm posting our cabin which is his former home). He bought a small plane from someone in Clear Lake. He flew it to Hemet and that evening after he landed it a severe hailstorm occurred and the plane was totaled from the damage. He figured that was a sign and didn't replace it!

alwaysbeoptimizing said:
it would be a fun early retirement hobby to fly angel flights or something though. and i think the freedom to just fly a state or two away in a couple of hours is pretty awesome (weather permiting)
Wouldn't it?
Our little town in AZ was developed so that folks from So. CA could fly in for a round of golf and either stay for the weekend or fly back home. I think I might have had some of that in the back of my mind when we bought the Oceanside home (in San Diego County). How cool (pun intended) would it be to walk to tiny Sky Ranch Airport (Carefree AZ)and fly into Carlsbad or Oceanside airport and bike home? 
Although I like flying, even in tiny airplanes, I'd be a little nervous about becoming a pilot due to my dyslexia. Transposing numbers when you're either taking off or landing is a risk I'd rather not take!  |
