I've visited Bruce and his home as well, and it's almost startling how welcoming he is. When I went, it was the middle of a nice afternoon, and so he already happened to be outside conversing with some other guests, but if you poke around on his website, you'll find that he essentially says "if you come for a visit and I'm not around, climb up on the wing and come bang on my airplane until you wake me up."

Was only there for a few minutes, but we got in a short and pleasant conversation about housing scarcity and the future of AI. Really interesting character, clearly living his best life.

I dug into this because I live in Oregon and was thinking about checking it out for a giggle, but for real, his website: https://airplanehome.com/VisitorsInformation.html#Anchor12

Really does insist that if you show up (even unannounced) to climb up on his airplane and bang on it/yell until he comes out: "Please do wake me boldly sans any regrets."

I might have to head out there as it's basically a suburb of Portland where I live.

He seems like a very kind eccentric.

Turns out I live a modest drive away -- this encourages me to make the trip!
