  1. Pffttt, who needs legs?
  2. Are you talking RC or passenger aircraft? Auto towing is a real thing. They used to do it at MGSA (the glider club at Monroe) before the club bought a tow plane.
  3. Different. is exactly it. New house, new environment, new seasons. I'm not interested in living abroad though. Alone that would be skating a bit close to the overwhelming edge.
  4. That's become a problem everywhere, not just places with a view. .
  5. Deal. I don't want to move there but I will happily hang out. .
  6. No idea, to be honest
  7. I'm doing it for the bugs. I've said it somewhere in these recent sprees of oversharing threads, I die or have to sell out or whatever, a developer takes this place and my bugs die. I don't want to be that guy. It's a third of an entire species, I don't want to be that guy. They are jewels of the earth, making their preservation a lifelong endeavor ends in failure, it has to be generational. As for running away so far, I don't want to live in Springwood's shadow. And no mater how well it's done, I don't want to watch the changes. Everything here is full of memories and personal. Pretty sure it's going to be like watching a stranger use your toothbrush. I loved that toothbrush. it was a great toothbrush. That's your toothbrush now, I'm going to go get a new one.
  8. Got my sister left, but that's it. Sitting here with everything packed around me, I do feel a bit like the last prince of his line standing in the ruins of his castle.

    $50 Haircut?

    The lady who cut my mother's hair cuts my hair. I've been loyal to her for years because she used to do house calls for my folks. She charges me sixteen bucks. I insist she take a $24 tip.
  10. Pop in the cockpit.
  11. Brother is in the blue shirt. The Libelle is still flying. At fifteen he did a diamond distance in it. That's a really long cross country flight where you take off and land at the same airport, for everyone but Wilber.
  12. Either way if I win the bid or Baker is a bust I am going to stay in Georgia and settle Springwood. Then return to Saranac Lake. If I get Baker then yay, if not, rent a place and keep looking. They are lousy with Air B&Bs up there. To the point that Saranac Lake is implementing limits on them. Finding temporary housing will be easy peasy.
  13. The movie was, Confidential Assignment 2: International, and the person in front of me was a rabbi.
  14. I was in that church this Sunday. My mother was a Presbyterian as well.
  15. Been a while since you flew Delta, huh? I'm not quite ready for granny porn yet. I still have a glimmer of youth to me.
  16. For what it's worth none of that is happening. I am watching the most butchered airplane move of all time over the shoulder of whomever is in the row in front of me.
  17. I am. Headed out the door now
  18. Not panic buy, but I don't want to rent for any longer than I have to.
  19. It's not perfect but I can live there.
  20. They say 5 bedrooms. One is in the attic; it will become my darkroom. Second floor has four, one of which is a porch and will be my study. That leaves 3, one for me, and two guest beds.
  21. I'm looking around.
