Congratulations. I hope you manage to get that L4 along the way to make the journey more enjoyable. :yeah:

GoldenRivet 10-06-10 02:27 PM

Thanks for the comments and well wishes.

Maybe in the next 12-24 months I can offer you guys some free L4 rides?

For now I'm going to try and assist my wife with her medical coding and billing. May try to get certified actually so we can eventually do that from home.

Honestly, who knows?

If I weren't on the wrong side of a large body of water I'd take you up on that in a shot, but something tells me that the L4 hasn't got a big enough fuel tank to go trans-atlantic... :03:
To compensate for that though, I would like to see pics :yep:

In the meantime I wish you and your wife all the best in the medical coding and billing business. :salute:

They do make a rather large fuel tank which adapts to small single engine aircraft for such long voyages.

It is sometimes attached to the belly of the aircraft and gives it an astounding range on the order of 20,000 miles


here is a pic of it. Pretty impressive. though it is quite cost prohibitive I've heard.

On the other hand, even if you could what would be the point? I think I read somewhere that some guy did it a long time ago.

I forget his name.

On the other other hand I might have read it on Wiki, so I'm told it doesn't count.

Oberon 10-06-10 05:25 PM

Or there's always...

I know a man with a recreational vehicle, a round wife, and rabbits that are eaten. You don't want to be that guy. But good luck with where ever life takes you.:salute:
(Rabbits do taste like pulled pork though)
