I am back! The missus is not. We flew down and dropped her off, she's just left Logan.

If you want, you can visit the thread in the video sub - and follow the link. Alternatively, you can just click this link:

There - you can sorta see me take off and probably see where I wiggled for Voat. I returned and we went out to check the tie-downs on the other plane and I waved at Voat.

I'm easily amused. More importantly, I'm home and I have the house to myself! Woohoo! (It's not nearly as exciting as one might think, the dog is kinda mad that I didn't take him and came home without the missus.)

Someone on Voat has to be personable and friendly and a real human that's not afraid of being doxxed and shit. Meh... Might as well be me.

Welcome back. We've had some deaths in our family this year. I hope things work out OK for you and your wife. If this is your mother in law's time to go, I wish you all peace and closure.

Thanks. I'm a Buddhist, I just accept death as a part of life. She's going to take it hard. I may end up flying out and checking in to help her but it's no rush right now. It seems her mother is stable and the prognosis is 'good.' They are testing and think it may have been a few mild strokes. The missus, she is technically a girlfriend but it's easier just to say missus, should be landing in another 15 or 20 minutes.

I'll know more later.

LOL I did wiggle the wings but I went and checked the video and it's not really clear. You can kind of see me walk towards the camera and wave, just after landing. I even did the landing at both airports and the takeoffs. This is all perfectly legal, by the way. I'm not a licensed pilot, but the owner of the plane is. He can let anyone fly it, so long as he is in there with them.

I should probably just get my license.

Anyhow, her mother is a tough old bear. She was an ambassador's wife during the Cold War. They were stationed in an old Bloc country which, for her privacy, I shall leave unnamed. She's pretty tough, cranky, and probably not sane. She may be senile, but I'm told it isn't easy to tell. She just makes up elaborate lies and there's so much more to it. I can't help but giggle sometimes. She tried to convince the missus that I was a covert operative for some shadow organization and was a spy or assassin or some shit. It only gets crazier from there on out.

Ah well... Meh, Voat can know a bit about my private life. It's all good.
