    Then you'll be SOL...

    Learning to fly is 90% what to do when things go wrong (and things will go wrong at some point if you fly much) and about 8% how to safely land. Only about 2% is taking off and flying the plane. Almost anyone can fly a plane first time around and the odds are you could get one off the ground (in good weather) and fly where you need to go, assuming you have enough fuel. The problem will be landing because if you don't have any idea how to land, then suddenly landing is 99% of how to do it.

    I had an instructor when I was doing instrument and night quals who'd do bizarre things. Under instrument flight, you use the instruments to fly and then at a certain altitude you "break out" and can see the ground. One night as we break out, suddenly the engine "fails" (he shut it off), the landing gear won't go down and he killed the runway lights (pilot controlled lighting) and claimed a power failure on the ground. Oh what fun....

    Ignorance is curable through education. Stupidity is refusing to be educated.

    For now... my feet!

    I am planning on buying a bicycle soon.

    My husband has a bike but it is too big for me. He is 6'1" tall and I am 5'3" tall so that will not work if I want to borrow his.

    I used to have one back east but most of the time I walked even though I lived in the boonies. There was no mass transportation out there so to go to work or a big town you needed a vehicle. The VERY small town close to us was 2.5 miles one way away so that was easy to walk to.

    100 gallons stashed gas, old chevy 4X4 pickup, Trail 90 honda with points ignition, motorized bicycle, box of new bicycle tubes in various sizes and 8 used bicycles of various sizes, 2 wheelbarrows, 3 pairs of broken in boots and a bunch of extra exterior frame backpacks. And if none of this stuff will work then the case of 80 proof adult beverage.
