well i too dont have a lot of time left in this body, i was told on july 13th,2022 that i am terminal, and the part of the crap wrong with me, i just turned 62, has a "shelf life" or 5 years, they are positive i was one year or more with it before diagnosis. so it may be that ill get it all setup and get one flight and then the coming heart attack,total lung failure,kidney failure or get hit by a truck, ya never know.i was supposed to get a stimulator implant this month for my spine, got a call this past monday telling my that not only can i not be intubate, but now i cant even have local anesthesia for a minor procedure like the stim thingy, but i asked about dental work, i need a filling done, she paused and said how high is your pain threshold ? i said not that high, she says.. then no, no dental work either.
anyway, i dont really care about the other aircraft, but i do want to do my Barron B58 and the DC-3 from "cold and dark" , and to be honest, i may never fly any others, ok not true, the OV-10 and Waco YMF-5 are also important to me but ill start in the running mode.id like the pmdg DC4, or 6? id love to see a P3 Orion in MSFS2024 in Aero union colors. T-17 to be exact, Norm Cook flew PIC on 17 for many years. oh, yes,and AH P-51 Old Crow to honor Bud.i miss him.we visited on the phone about every 3 months. id gotten a call from his number one afternoon and answered "hello Bud"... only to hear, this is his son, dad passed away three days ago and his caregiver said i was to call you among others. broke my heart, but not surprising. im being personal again, sorry, i dont know how else to do this stuff, i like to explain myself and share thought and experiences. i say this as quite a few years ago now some guy really laid into me about it, though i had a lot of support from a great many of you, which i really appreciated of you all. but it still put me off posting for several years, id even left,or just didnt come in anyway for a year or two. and then i quit flying at all. then dad died, had big fights with my sister and brother inlaw, literally fought him three times, i won , my mom intervened and asked him.. Davey is in a wheelchair,has a broken back, surgery failed completely, he is in pain 24/7, yet he got up and kicked your ass three times, are you stupid enough to do it a 4th? ive not only not spoken to him, but ive only seen him once since that day, at moms celebration of life, and when he saw me enter the building, he went to the other side of the big room. and after that, he and my sister came to the house, she left me the mobilehome, a 24x70' unit, and everything in it, but her jewelry and some "milk glass" stuff. they came over to get that stuff while i was in sacramento having a procedure (this was in late april 2019) and started cleaning the house out. everything in the kitchen was gone already,and he was in my bedroom cleaning me out there too, my bed was gone, photos that meant a lot to me, etc. i got my bed back,my dresser and clothes,my computers, he had already given those away, same as the kitchen things.didnt get the kitchen things back.id called the sheriffs office , well 911, but the deputy who came was a friend of both my sister and i, he ran my brother in law ,my sister, then myself, im the only one without a criminal record. my sister kept saying nothing was mine as i wasnt really blood, mom didnt give birth to me, which is bs, but i showed the deputy the will, my sis was the executor and she said it was her choice to cut me out. the deputy cuffed both of them and a friend of hers (she got all the kitchen stuff) anyway.. long story short, they had to get it all back, even if it was given away or sold, or they will be prosecuted, a lot of stuff didnt come back to me, but id bought a boat and didnt want to pay for a storage unit... but damn, i was shocked she would do that, shes finally "made up" with me and apologized ,i thought maybe she had heard about my diagnosis and wanted to be a family again... nope she even told me she didnt want to hear about my problems, then went on to tell me that her husband was very very sick and was going to die any time. and his was real, not to get attention. uhg. turns out his major heart issue that was going to kill him "any time now" was GERD.... hes just fine now..... omg i did it again.. lol.. well if anyone has gotten here,,, thanks. i will admit it helps to tell strangers this stuff,, i did talk about it before, but not in detail lol..Davey? shut up....
