I am not worried about the commitment. I am asking for advice how to be more comfortable with...- xgener

A question for pilots?
I am in my mid fifties. I know my reaction timing to stuff isn't what it was 30 years ago. I am in good shape, I run 20 plus miles a week plus weight training. I do this so I can chase sheep. My question is, I really want to try and learn to fly, and is it realistic. What I mean by that is...- xgener

When...- xgener

Any hockey fans out there?
I have to be honest in my hockey reactions......... I think bobby orr is the greatest hockey player ever. I am a avs fan and think makar is really close.

I remember when:
When it was Saturday morning and the bugs bunny road runner show was on at 6 am. After that you were kicked in the rear (7 yrs old and above) and outside to entertain yourself and told to be home for dinner at 6 (pm). And you had your dog to run along with you as a body guard. And then when...- xgener

an elk story, believe or don't
I thought about sharing this for a while. Wasn't sure I should share. I tried once on that other hunting forum. Was banned because I told someone to f off over a hockey thread (understandable). And when I shared this hunt there were folks who claimed I was lieing and said these elk were taken in...
