Jonny 290 posted:the other day my buddy told a story about taking the other 2 managers in his team out to reno in a little 172 back in the day, and they were so heavy that they cleared a mountaintop by like 75 feet lol the place i work at specifically has an obscure policy that employees are not allowed to pilot aircraft for company trips because one time someone had a bad landing and nearly killed himself and a co-worker

there is actually a lot of beachfront or extremely beach adjacent property in central-ish florida if you like the water and you literally don’t care what kind of terrible people you live near. also you could pick a Caribbean island like aruba and buy a place that could pay for itself by renting it out half the time. once the plague ends, that is.

DuckConference posted:i had no idea ammo was the expensive. so when those youtube people unload a bunch of rounds on a target they're shooting like $5-10 at it? yep. an average range day for me is about 100 rounds each of 9mm (25-30ish?) and 100 rounds of .223 (30-45 depending on if i shoot the nice stuff or not) plus an hour of lane rental which is like fifteen bucks
