When you absolutely must have bacon. 😂 That’s a pretty awesome visit. Can’t say I’m not jealous.

Yeah it is! 🤘🏼 Was even warm enough for backseat doors open sandwiches!

Speaking of things pilots love…. Or was it the other way around?… But either way, heli ski season approaches and while I’m not on this contract, I did get to fly this beautiful ship the other day. 😍

HAHAHAHA.

We recently did the one-way rental option while in Australia. Fee wasn’t bad for the drop in Sydney and we opted for a car seat from them vs flying one down (since the regs are different). Great advice above. Pays to read the “thou shall not drive on xyz road” clauses. Cause this was pretty...

I wouldn’t begin to know how to use AI. Not that want to either. 😂 Perspective and angles play. Chinook was lifting a container behind the basler, just thought it was comical. Although, the chinook can actually lift one if it wanted.

My mom came to visit last week so took her down to Whittier, which was also my first time driving through the tunnel. Pretty cool seeing the tower (where most of town lives) and the abandoned old building from back in the day Pretty nice drive out along the Turnagain.

Nice! Congrats! 😂 I almost posted a Dave Ramsey thing asking you.
