Seen it. Did it myself. Laid off with a large group. Attempted a start up. Then someone who wasn't laid off called with an interesting new project, so I went back. Then I was laid off again, along with the person who had called me back

My Dad was a TV repairman at a Magnavox dealer. My siblings and I would play this all the time in the shop. I've thought about that when I walk into one of kids rooms and they're playing some super realistic game.

Born in 63, so yeah many years prior to those devices becoming a part of daily life. Interestingly was just having a conversation with my son's about the first time I used an ATM. Anyway, in the 90's I took a year off and did vo

The 206 is great load hauling beast, not had the chance to fly one myself. Plenty of time in the 172 and 182, had a 172 for awhile. Mostly agree about the DA-40, but I'd actually put it ahead of the current 172. It's a bit faster,

Had mine stolen off a Toyota Sequoia. Done in the driveway, alarm on, bedroom windows open. It was so clean, not even dust on the ground. Looked like it had been beamed away. They hit the whole area in a couple of nights. Four wheel drive v

San Ramon as well. GE digital and SAP are big in Bishop Ranch. Of course there is the Chevron HQ. Many of my neighbors are FANG employed, equally as mystified as to why none of those haven't opened a satellite office here.
