  1. F-ing poa annua. Anything to treat it with? Will it just take hotter temps? Frustrated here.
  2. I was amused at myself last night when they did the Texans season recap right before their pick. Totally forgot that we lost the first 3, then won the next 9. I had even forgot about the playoff game. I guess that's when you know you have a "blah" team. That, or I'm getting old and losing my memory.
  3. Quick update: Got my 3rd Class Medical today. Tomorrow (weather permitting) will be my first lesson in the plane. Will be doing my training with Skypark Aviation out of East Texas Regional.
  4. Done with the online ground school. Now studying for the written. Researching CFIs/Flight Schools (Longview area). Will also get my medical in the next couple weeks. Anything to worry about for a 3rd class?
  5. Brisket, Egg, and Cheese breakfast Taquitos. Freezer section.
  6. Looks like two bald-headed gentlemen trying to escape that dress.
  7. Anybody know what time MLB Network is doing the Astros feature today?
  8. Update. Went ahead and did the $39/month on Fly8MA. Cancelable at any time. With this, you get more Ground School lessons and they give you the endorsement for the written exam once done. Free access didnt. Shouldn't take me more than 4-6 weeks to get through, then I can cancel. Seems like a good deal and a good way to supplement with the PHAK and other material. Flying blind here, pardon the pun.
  9. Watched all 6 episodes of "After Life". Very thought provoking with some genuine laughs sprinkled in. Probably need to watch it again in a month or so. One of the funniest parts, Episode 5 (I think) is the rice pudding scene. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.
  10. Thanks, Longhornmaniac8. Adding it to the list.
  11. Thanks for all the information, fellas. I'll keep you in the loop on the progress. Up here in Longview (KGGG).
  12. Just ordered these 3 books. They seemed like good references, if not actual study guides: Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Say Again, Please : Guide to Radio Communications Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3A)
  13. Starting to do my research into a PPL. Since this is for recreation and not a career, it looks like Part 61 would be the recommended path. Also, I have a full time job, so the strict requirements of a Part 141 don't seem like the right path for me. Looking at Ground School options. Is the self-study method an option to pass the written test? I see Gleim's, Sporty's, King's, and ASA's. Did not know if anyone had experience or knowledge doing this? Thought it would be a reasonable investment and a nice option given my full-time job. No need to expedite the process. Want to learn everything as well as possible. However long it takes, it takes. Thanks for any advice you guys can share.
