The train’s a decent option for you. You can catch the train in downtown Sacramento and ride to Richmond where you can take Bart into the city. Or you can ride into Emeryville and take the connector bus into the city. Lots of good options there.

That being said, one problem will be daylight. It’s going to take several hours to cover the distance, which means I’d have to leave Sunnyvale to get back to Sacramento before it gets dark (no way in hell I’m boating in the dark).

As for wifi, I figured as long as I have cell coverage I could just get an card for my laptop and use that. Probably more reliable and better at hopping from tower to tower.

What about a sailboat with an engine and cabin? Thats’s a lifestyle I’d have a hard time not endorsing. All you need is someone to add wifi coverage to the sacramento river and a “1st mate” to drive you home. Plus then you could could give the order, “Number 1, go take a number 2.” I love it.

If you can dig up the numbers, I’d love to see them.

The theory being that if you move far enough away, you save mega bucks on the house and can re-invest *most* (but not all) of that money into a decent plane, lessons, and maintenance.

It turns out that it works. You could do it.

It’d be killer if one could land at Moffett. But my plan was to land at Palo Alto or Reid-Hillview and keep a junker car (think “10 year old honda or toyota”) there to commute with.

I should really re-figure that and publish the numbers someday.

But yes, in my ideal world, I’d just purchase Airwolf and land at Moffet, right next to Yahoo!.
