    Thoughts on maintaining two abodes

    Two homes, same state. One's a lake house. The 30 minute flight sure beats the 3.5 hour drive, and we just keep an extra car at the airport by the lake. Sure there's expenses to maintaining both. I've always said it's amazing how hard you have to work to makes things "maintenance free."...

    Stupid Question about AMEL

    Don’t forget your insurance gets a vote. Your carrier may require something like 15 hours of duel received before you can act as PIC in the ME, then maybe another 10 hours solo PIC before you can carry passengers.

    Frikin laser beams

    Lasing is definitely a thing, not to be trifled with. Coming from the helicopter world - low and slow - that was some of Charlie's favorite past times. I've had crew members afflicted, particularly with NVGs - they give away right where to point the laser. Damage to the eyes can be temporary...

    NA - Thinking of a 2015 Jaguar XJ

    Well I might take a deal on a 2015 Jaguar XJ with a little over 50k miles. My folks are looking to off-load it, but I’m not sure it’s something I want. The car is in excellent shape, with the supercharged 3.0L AWD. A drawback is that it’s black, and out of warranty. I’ve owned black cars...

    Thinking about a riding mower

    I've been happy with my Husqvarna garden tractor, purchased 7 years ago. After careful research, it presented the best value. It maintained my 1.5 acres well, and the implements were numerous and advantageous as well. The snow-thrower attachment worked great for my 270' driveway, and the...
