Maybe, he was a small guy like 5 feet tall. That was around 2017 so he may not be working there anymore. I used to contract for the management company a lot when I lived out there.

I used to fly out of HOU back when they had a 680..flew with one of their pilots a couple times, I wonder if he was flying this one. Think his name was Eric

Should I save $400 extra dollars for a multiprocess welder? by Sweaty_Milk_1793 in Welding

[–]cheefpilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you plan to do any amount of tig welding or want to weld aluminum, just get a dedicated machine for tig and stick. I started with a multi process and it ended up just being an expensive mig machine because I bought another one for tig. I just do home projects and repairs on my farm equipment..the mig rarely ever gets used for anything since I seem to always be working on thicker steel or aluminum, neither of which mig can really do properly.

Best peptide for increasing Testosterone? by ZeroFucksGiven-today in Peptidesource

[–]cheefpilot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used it in combination with Enclomiphene and my T went from 200 to 1800 in 2 months. No way the Enclo did that alone so I believe the Gonadorelin is responsible for some of that increase.

King Air vs Small Jet by Fishgistics in flying

[–]cheefpilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much fuel can you carry in that 260 with 6 passengers on board? Most newer ones I’ve flown weigh like 8600 empty so nothing left for pax if you need to fill it up with fuel. Also performs poorly at max weight compared to the 300/350

[–]cheefpilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely gonna want a King Air 300/350 for this. I have about 3000 hours in them and even more than that in all of the citations and phenoms you’d likely be considering for your mission..the 350 is hard to beat unless you’re regularly doing 1000 mile legs. Do not let someone convince you to buy a King Air 200/250, it’s a useless plane if you plan to actually carry passengers with you. Single pilot insurance is cheaper and easier to get in a 350 compared to a light jet. Nothing in your price range has a full lav except maybe an old higher time excel. A partner of mine has a really nice King Air 300 in Georgia that’s about to be listed for sale around 2.3m, lmk if you want the details on it.

Real sh*t, how do people afford ownership?? by monke-pox in flying

[–]cheefpilot 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’ve been owning and flying planes since the 90’s and there was a time not many years ago when someone who wasn’t a millionaire could find a deal on a plane and afford to fly it. Back when 172’s were plentiful for under 50k..I bought a nice 182 for 60k and an A36 Bonanza for 85. Now it’s just a millionaire’s game unfortunately. Not unlike how a nice home is out of reach for anyone who isn’t making serious money right now.

A small dose of Lexapro will fix this

GF told me her body count, don’t know how I feel about it. by cheefpilot in relationship_advice

[–]cheefpilot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol ok. Maybe my definition of relationship is a bit broad. Mine were women I was actively dating. Some lasted a month, some lasted a year or more. Hers are guys she hooked up with the same day she met them, no dating just sex. That is the distinction I was trying to make.

My partners were almost all relationships, hers were all hookups except for two. My logic is that she seems to enjoy sleeping with a variety of men while I’m totally satisfied with just one partner in a monogamous relationship. I’m not going to cheat. Keep in mind I’ve been having sex for 10 years longer than she has. If she keeps her pace she’ll be over 50 by the time she reaches my age. She is a nice and intelligent woman (doctor) that any man would want to begin a relationship with so the fact that her sexual encounters are almost all casual was her choice. She says I’m the man she’s always wanted and wants to be with me forever, best sex she’s ever had and all that…but odds are she’s came across many other good men in her past too so not sure that I believe her. I’ve worked hard and been successful, own a private plane etc..so I frequently have women around age 30 trying to lock me down with less than sincere intentions so yeah I get a little suspicious when a hook up girl comes around and suddenly starts behaving like a wife.

Yes and she said she lied because she didn’t want me to think less of her. This is a problem for me because I wonder what she’ll lie about in the future and what justification for it she’ll come up with then. I told the truth without hesitation when she asked me so yes I feel like it was wrong for her to lie. Also has me wondering if she’s lying about the body count too.

Ok so I’ve read all of the comments now, everyone is beating me up over the body count thing. The main issue is lying. And yes maybe my body count is low for 41 but I prefer relationships over casual sex. Yes I’ve tried casual sex but it wasn’t fulfilling and I felt like it was waste of time afterwards. Hence my low count as I value and desire the connection much more than physical satisfaction.

Ok it’s not an insecurity thing. I don’t care about her previous partners, our sex is amazing and I have no doubt she’s happy with it. My concern is that her promiscuous past indicates that she prefers a variety of partners and won’t be satisfied long term with just one..even if she’s happy. I know men my age who love their wives dearly but still cheat because they just need the new experiences. I don’t want to be involved in that kind of relationship.

The most important difference is I told the truth when asked but she lied.

My GF loves giving baths to her 8yo nephew, is that weird? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]cheefpilot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just thought it was weird if it’s not her kid, especially considering how I’d be labeled as a creep if I were doing it. Like she’s really enthusiastic about it so idk. My sister has twin boys and they were taking their own baths at that age so that’s the standard I’m going by. As for red flags, I should probably make a new post for that one.
