    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    Far northwest Chicago suburbs, where nearly 80% of my 13k property tax bill goes to the school district. To stay on thread topic....I wired a new 240v outlet at my mom's house for her new car after work today. The great thing about this area is they won't let you use romex. Snaking conduit...

    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    The stake was garbage. They smashed the top of the case, not inside the threads and on top of the set screw like the service instructions. I do like the roll pin better. Stakes are inconsistent, plus im not a fan of deforming a part like that. Now what when it needs to be done again? Less good...

    I believe that's everyone including Lycoming's opinion.

    The dude flys a ton and he's gonna need an overhaul sooner rather than later. If he has to split the case (again) and has to over haul a bastard mag at the same time... Now seems like the perfect time to start fresh.

    Hey old people, tell us what you can't do!

    I can't bend my right wrist back past 60degrees. It doesn't hurt, but ever since I broke it I just can't do it. I can't sit indian style. Not cuz my knees hurt. But when I broke my left foot the bone was displaced. So now the outside of my left foot takes all that weight in one spot and it's...

    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    An indictment of the public school system is the fact I was allowed to to graduate early. Only had 1 semester senior year and it included 2 study halls and gym. But I couldn't go to gym because I broke my wrist racing and had a cast from July 2nd-thanksgiving. So a 3rd study hall. I did not...

    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    Maybe she needs to move to Illinois. Here's one page from the district my mom does payroll for. Some of the teachers on the list only made 16,000...probably substitutes. And a superintendent 233k with 20 vacation days plus sick days. Plus bonuses. Plus "retirement enhancements". But still...

    Hey old people, tell us what you can't do!

    That first ship sailed long ago. Which is probably why it's just me and the dog.

    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    I had more than one teacher show up to school drunk... Escorted out by police never to be seen again. Which seems to be the only way they can get fired. My 4th grade teacher would leave the class unsupervised so she could take a smoke break. I had an math teacher in high school tell me when I...

    What plane would you buy in my situation?

    They haven't been built in 52 years. All the tooling was lost to a flood. And they don't really share any commonalities with other models. Awesome planes, but a bit of a niche.

    What plane would you buy in my situation?

    There's 2 AD's on the spar. Corrosion and and cracking. I believe the Dakota was not subject to the spar cracking AD. But it is on the list for the proposed AD. OP...Really the Dakota is just a Cherokee with a franken wing and 2 extra cylinders, and a few inches of rear leg room. And Jim's...

    Hey young people, tell us what you can do!

    Lake county Illinois resident here. One of the higher tax rates in the country. That property I paid 176k for in 2012 is now assessed north of 450. Property taxes alone are 13k a year.

    The only thing I know about Bob Dole is he was in that Pepsi commercial with Brittney Spears.
