Question: How long does it take a non-flying, married guy with a full time job and kids to build an airplane, use it to learn to fly, then get his sport pilot license?
I did it guys. At 1:30PM Central time today, July 15th, I officially became a certificated sport pilot. Now I can go somewhere an take someone along! Life is good.

Congratulations Scott.
Now run along and get your REAL pilot's license. Just kidding, but do you plane to get your Private? I mean you didn't put those lights in the wing to light the hanger did you?

Congratulations Scott, now all that is left for you to do, is to enjoy your new toy to the fullest.
Not wanting to high jack your thread, I too this week have reached a new milestone. I have not flown for the past thirty years, and although I am turning 65, have had quad by-pass, along with numerous cases of " cut & paste " done to my body, I have just passed my medical, and will be renewing my PPL in the next month or so.
Fly safe
