My son, Paul, got his private license on Thurs after about 3 weeks of pretty intensive training. He got his complex, high performance endorsement this afternoon so I've got a safety pilot that can log RV-10 time. I have a feeling I"m going to need a lot instrument refreshing. Like Tim O and Andrea, we have no hope of getting him insured for the 10 on his own. We are thinking of reviving my long dormant Long-EZ so he can build some time.
Two of the three kids that we used to haul OSH have now gone on to be pilots. Being exposed to aviation does turn kids into pilots. So if you have a chance to take kid to OSH be sure to make the opportunity available to them. My brother-in-law is now a Captain with Spirit Airlines. The third kid is probably a lost cause as far as piloting goes.
The ice went out on our lake this afternoon so spring has definitely arrived in the northland. The downside is that there a lot less emergency landing spaces than there were before. Usually ice-out is about mid-April.

Big Congrats to Paul, Sheldon! What did he do his training in,
by the way? Andrea's doing pretty well in the RV-10 these days,
and now that she's signed off with the HP rating she can actually
steal some of my flying opportunities from me. It actually
is a love/hate thing.....I opened a can of worms there....now
we get to fight for who gets the stick, and along with it,
who gets the time.  Luckily I passed into the 4-digit numbers
so now I don't care as much, or she may have been ticked off at me
all the time.
It's been a real nice spring up here as far as weather goes,
so we're enjoying it.

I know this is confusing to many people, but in fact, a high performance endorsement is not required to act as safety pilot in a 10 - just "private, single engine land" or better.
Likewise, if a private pilot may log as PIC time any time where they are the "sole manipulator of the controls". A HP endorsement is not necessary. However, there must be someone onboard with an HP endorsement who is in fact the PIC.
I sure wish the FAA had made the distinction between logging time and being the actual PIC more clear.
