I passed my FAA check-ride on April Fool's Day. I was so tired when I got home that I collapsed for a few days and forgot to post anything here.
I am now a Private Pilot, Single-Engine Land.
I think my FAA examiner was the same guy who gave the Wright brothers their checkride. I was his last ride of the day, and he was good and grumpy by the time he got to me.
Bad weather has prevented me from going up since.
Now that that's out of the way, maybe I can spend more time playing video games :-)

I'm glad you learned how to land.

Congratulations, I know how much work you put into it. When I took my private checkride, the examiner smoked so much it was like flying IFR. Fly often, as much as you can afford. As soon as you have the hours start working on the instrument rating.

SMOKED? Good God, considering that you're sitting underneath 42 gallons of gas, and you can SMELL the stuff the whole time you're flying, I'da pushed his ass right out the door. Not to mention the big "NO SMOKING" stickers all over the place.
That's not exactly politically correct, either. Did you take your checkride in the 70s?
