I have a 1948 Cessna 170 with metalized wings. My son seems interested in flying, so it would be good for him if he wants to fly. I hope you get the 140, they're great airplanes. I considered getting one, but wanted to be able to fly my wife and son.

I think if you tried to the school path you may find yourself missing to many days in class.
I'm going to look for an apprenticship, appreciate the advice.

Reserve is great for getting all your unwanted task finished.
That's the plan, do all the stuff I want to do while waiting around. I hope I can get it back in the air.
