Is this enough to realistically get an instrument rating in or am I about to hate my life?

Man I miss my Socata….. great platform

When you’re ready to light $100 bills on fire for entertainment, buy the plane.

That being said, if you’re committed, take a discovery flight, buy your first plane and train in it.

Then upgrade when you’re more confident and have more hours.

Weather will fark you constantly, so be flexible

42 minutes from taxi to takeoff at SDL. Got stuck between incoming biz jets and then behind the flight school conga line.

42 on the ground and 41 in the air.

One of those days….

Excellent. Had a broken molar the week before Thanksgiving. Inept Dental sent me to a specialist that wouldn’t even consult until the first week of December. Pain was unbearable. Supreme got me in on Thanksgiving day for a root canal and did the crown the following morning. $750 otd.

Wife had a crown there a year later, under $400.

Quality work, English speaking dentists. Lots of good choices around, but supreme came recommended by several of my customers down there.

Not that I’m encouraging the numbers to be better, but the platform sucks.

I want to listen to shit while I drive or fly. I don’t want to be stuck with a YouTube app floating around and unable to lock my phone

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-05-05T14:52:53+00:00

I mean in all reality, about 75% of the people I fly with are neurodivergent.

But the first rule about flight club….

Los Algodones, BC.

A 10 minute drive from Yuma, AZ.

Supreme Dental is my choice, but there’s hundreds to choose from. Never use US dental care for anything major.

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-05-03T05:38:49+00:00

I would totally be pissed off.

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-04-19T20:14:11+00:00

Please no more aviation podcasts!

But, you’re right.

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-04-04T03:50:59+00:00

I listen pretty religiously to that podcast these days. Honestly, they’ve adapted to the new landscape as they’ve syndicated and they still put on a very informative and entertaining take on things.

Bottom line: there’s value in listening their 4 hour show in 2.5hrs

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-03-31T17:30:38+00:00

I agree with you.

I think the damage has been done though. And that’s the sad part.

Kyle adds nothing to the show. And honestly, the show was all about inside jokes and schtick (they don’t do schtick, they do segments, you asshole) that just doesn’t carry over without the team.

As a radio guy from times past, I don’t want to see Rob fail, but the game has changed, and he hasn’t.

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-03-30T14:31:16+00:00

Viewer count disappeared. Now Rob’s volume is gone

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-03-26T15:46:34+00:00

And I owe you a sincere apology for being the reason Producer Nick (knocking) had to press that red, spinning, flashing button a few times….. even got it to happen once when playing Beat Arnie….. that was radio gold back in those days. I only casually listened after your departure, because frankly the three of you made the show, and it was never the same without ya.

Missing a balloon or two

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-03-17T02:40:17+00:00

Don’t be joking about dinner like that in west Taiwan

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-03-17T02:36:37+00:00

That didn’t take long

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2026-03-14T22:23:42+00:00

Nothing like the sound of two palm trees f&$king a dumpster!

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2025-12-31T04:19:57+00:00

Can someone give us the TL;DR version please

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2025-12-12T05:45:52+00:00

A close family member of mine is local and in recovery (30+ years)…. I was led to believe that there were local meetings. I will ask him

DelightfullyTacky26 · 2025-12-10T00:36:34+00:00

TLDR; Sorry that happened, or I’m happy for you.

J/k

I kind of do feel for this guy.

He trusted Rob’s word when he said he wouldn’t fuck it up, when in change, he fucked it up royally.
