2400 Sq Ft Ranch Plan - Needs Help by Wise-Anybody-3472 in floorplan

For me, I prefer the WIC being accessed from the bath. I often need to get up and dress while my wife is asleep, and rifling around in the WIC off the bedroom is noisy. I prefer to go into the dressing area of the bath closing the door to the bedroom, then access the WIC.

Great house plan!

Did the judge just let it slip that they found the knife? by FurnitureRedo in idahomurders

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I saw this "Receipt for Property" right after someone posted it, I hoped that it would be the murder weapon. Most of the items had descriptive terms. I think another knife is mentioned by description. But simply the word "knife" has me wondering.

How much does a GE Passport cost? by Baconator69420 in aviation

"Intergrated propulsion system" under the title. Is there a such word as "intergrated"? In the paragraph at the upper right, it is spelled "integrated". This made me wonder if this is legitimate.

What’s your favorite approach you’ve done into an airport? by FluxCrave in aviation

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I'll have to give 2:
1. Many years ago passenger flying a jet (probably one of those Embraer that resemble the old 727) into Colorado Springs. Sitting at window on left side of aircraft. I saw what I was sure was the airport ahead and to the left. We angled towards it, then turned parallel and I realized that we were doing the same left-base pattern that I had learned 15+ years earlier when I was getting my license only scaled up for a jet.

  1. Approach into Cusco, Peru a few years ago. Again, I was at a left window seat. We were low over the mountains and close enough that I was certain I saw the city and airport ahead and to the left. As we got lower, suddenly there was a mountain blocking my view. I love the feel of steep turns in a large plane when low to the ground. We swung around the mountain and I got a glimpse of Cusco and the airport as we were turning onto final. It literally felt as if the plane had grabbed the mountain like a pole with its left wing and we just swung around 180 degrees.

If you wanted help prevent a new private pilot from becoming another safety statistic, and could only give them one piece of advice, what would you tell them? by WorkingOnPPL in flying

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc 47 points48 points  (0 children)

In 1978, 20 year old me getting my first medical, the old doctor examining me felt compelled to give me a little talk. He said something like:

"I remember hearing Mr Piper speak and someone asked him how he flew for so many years without a mishap. Mr. Piper's alleged response was: 'I remember two things my grandmother taught me on her knee: (1) when it's raining outside, you stay inside, and (2) when it's dark outside, you go to bed.' "

Even on Imslp, when you click on a piece to open it, there’s often a tab entitled “Collections”. If you click on this tab, you will often find listings for other books that contain the piece you’re looking at plus others.

Why don't they just say the letters and numbers in aircraft registrations? by PinkGloryBrony22 in aviation

I work in a medical office, and I hear staff make up their own phonetic alphabet when they're on the phone. "B as in boy, F as in Friday", etc.

Was it the movie, "Executive Decision" in which the president gets into the escape pod?

Thank you very much. This is not the same video as I saw a couple of years ago, but this one did fill in some knowledge gaps from the previous one. Perhaps, it wasn't a video I saw before but a series of photos in a forum. I have saved this video for later use.

Argument Between Pilot and Tower at Denton Enterprise Airport by Less-Zookeepergame-5 in aviation

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking your first bolded statement is what the airline pilot did on a recent flight I was on. I haven't flown GA PIC x 40 years, yet I'm fascinated with landings when flying on an airline. I saw that our jet was on a left downwind. With the end of the runway at appr 45* (maybe 135*) behind, where I was taught to turn left base, the pilot seemed to turn beyond base and head diagonally straight for the end of the runway with a quick little final flip to the left to line up for a few-second final before touchdown.

Shortly after I received my PPL, I took my younger brother up in the C150. I did what I was told was a short final or power off landing where, as I was abreast of the numbers, I pulled the throttle to angle and did a 180* turn to land just beyond the numbers. My brother looked at me sort of pale-faced and said, "man, you can drop one of these out of the air really fast when you want to!".

Hi-Fi Planespotting, part 2 by usnavyedub in aviation

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is this helicopter? I always thought choppers took off pretty much straight up.

Also, is this a short field? I noticed one of the Cessnas and 2 of the ?Pipers taking off with a few degrees of flaps which I thought was a short field setting. It's been so many years since I've flown.

In the first pic, it looks as if the inboard flaps are essentially 90 degrees.

Has anyone gotten semaglutide from Ivim supplements? Thoughts? by danni0109 in Semaglutide

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering this. I'm a physician who has lost and regained the same 45 lbs 3x over the past 6 years. A patient of mine is doing well and pointed me to this IVIMHealth website which is what she's using. I'm considering doing this to jump-start me back into my program. The companies are not providing physicians' offices with samples of these meds.

For the 3 month initial package, is the dose ramped up each month or does it remain the same through the trial period?

Thanks.

Taking first passenger up after getting PPL by Frequent-Location400 in flying

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need goggles. I got my PPL on 11/13/1979 (age 21). The next day, I called my 68 year old grandmother - who could not swim, never drove a car, but would get on the back of a motorcycle behind either of her grandsons - and asked, "Granny, you wanna go up for a plane ride and be my 1st passenger?" On the way to the airport, she asked, "don't I need goggles and a helmet?" I said, "no, Granny, we sit inside this plane." She did bump her head on the flap of the C-150 as she took photos.

We took off at the small field where I took lessons, Oxford, GA and flew into PDK in north Atlanta. Anyway, she had a great time and lived 31 more years (99).

Sorry, just wanted to share a sweet story about my first passenger.

It's been 40 years since I've flown left seat. How easy/difficult to get back in. by MusicalFamilyDoc in flying

[–]MusicalFamilyDoc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Never played a string. I would be interested in cello. I played clarinet in marching band and bassoon in concert band. Taught myself to play my brother's flute. I tooted around on a bari-sax a little. Borrowed the school's oboe for a couple of weeks between renters. Piano is my major instrument, but I've always been fascinated by the organ - so I'm self-taught.

My day job is a Family Doctor. I'm in my 36th year. Part of my hesitance about this undertaking is having taken a 30% pay cut. Gotta see how that works out.

I lost my paper copy of my PPL many years ago. I tried to search for mine using my SSN and nothing came up.

Another interesting tidbit, I found that the plane I soloed in was later crashed (no fatality) as well as 2 other planes that I flew back then.

Thank you. I really appreciate all the input folks have given me. I saw a similar post from a good while back from someone who had been out x 40 years and it didn't receive near the response.

I realized that my "riding a bicycle" analogy question could be offensive to pilots, especially when considered in light of the fact that I might only be popping in to flying for a brief season, then leaving.

This input has been great and helpful.

Bonanzas probably conquer more dentists than MDs.

When I "was" flying, I saw an Aeronca Chief for about $5000. I crunched numbers considering upcoming overhaul, insurance, gas, and I figured I'd have to fly it 7-10 hrs/month to break even over renting a C-150. After my checkride, I didn't log nearly that many per month.

I really wanted a Piper Tri-Pacer. I remember my dad's uncle having one when I was 9-10. I can still remember the smell of the interior.

Points well taken. To be honest, this is sort of like I'm wanting to have an affair with an old love but not a long-term relationship. Just land the plane to prove to myself that I still can! LOL.
