I had a pet blue bellied lizard as a 10 yr old and made a fine box home with wire mesh top for him. I learned to catch flies bare handed (alive) to feed him. Great fun until he somehow escaped from his box, never to be found, and my Mom put an end to my new hobby.

I was just posting it was Friday Harbor and when I did I didn't realize there were more posts with the correct guess! I solved it by looking up the N registration on that Cessna. Been to Friday Harbor airport about 5 times, love the island.

Though I'm from N California I spend a lot of time near Seattle. Made a flight this evening from KBLI Bellingham to KRTN Renton. I've been to almost everywhere under my flight on the ground IRL, lovely area.

Very interesting Adam! I once had orders in 1970 to embark on the USS Enterprise but at the last moment orders were changed to NAS Adak, Alaska. Loved Alaska but was a bit disappointed not to get on the Enterprise.

Visited your lovely country a few years back Carlos. Mostly in the San Isidro de El General area with friends.

As for Christmas decorations I have already (a few days ago) put up some small lights and garland/wreaths out front but not too much. My wife manages the interior decorations and goes a bit wild...lol. I just get down the boxes from the garage and try to stay out of her way. Typically it all comes down on Jan 1

Y'all are a busy lot! 🙂
Seems I've always had a job until being able to retire 12 years ago.
Started out at 10 with neighborhood lawn service, paper boy, then a fast food joint.
Fast forward to a 4 year stint in the US Navy as a photographer.
University for Horticulture '71-75. Stayed in this field the rest of my working life. Built a retail nursery from scratch, was the head grower for a wholesale nursery (field and greenhouses), managed a retail nursery for 3 years, had my own business for 3 years and ended up as the head Groundsman for a large school district doing landscaping and maintenance. Still have lots of garden interests and taught gardening to K-5th grade kids for 6 years.

I just installed EGBM to an outside Library on the same drive as MSFS called "Orbx Scenery". EGBM shows ok. Maybe try creating a Library in somewhere other than C:\User\Username\Documents and see it that works.

I couldn't see it either by clicking on the start arrow but at the upper right is a "copy link" that I did and that works! Watching it now.

Our family spent 2 weeks in Yosemite National Park every summer, close to 20 weeks in total over time. Still love going there and hiked all over the valley and upper areas. Other than that many short trips to the Calif Gold Rush foothills areas to go fishing and a few trips to the boardwalk at Santa Cruz on the ocean.

That was awesome Adam! I saw them in 1967 at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, among others, good times.
