    How much do you tip for a haircut?

    $8-$10 on a $25 cut. My barber runs a pretty great shop and always offers a beer or cocktail on the house. I rarely accept, but the offer, banter and shop dog are well worth the price of the cut and tip.

    Sheppard Air reviews…

    100 on my instrument, high 90s on my commercial using Sheppard, and I'm REALLY not that smart. Sheppard is great for passing the test, however, it's a good idea to supplement that with other training material to actually learn the stuff.

    What the Heck is this Symbol?

    There in lies the rub. We need an inclusive "catch all" term for "I don't know what you/it/they/them are/is/might be/could be/want to be.

    Romancing The (kidney) Stone

    I had a similar surgery, except no string post surgery. Oh no. The female doc who performed the surgery had me return for stint removal which required numbing me, reaching in with a special tool via the only path to the urethra from the outside world (think flexible retrieval tool found in any...

    Reno advise please

    One day is typically enough. The event is certainly a lot of fun and the sport class makes for some entertaining racing. Unfortunately, many of the big Unlimited names, which drew the crowds, no longer race.

    What the Heck is this Symbol?

    Sock is perfectly acceptable, if said wind cone identifies as a wind sock. It's a brave new world.

    Don't need to be Nostradamus to see that one. Heck, we're already walking backwards, stretching and warming up to run.

    What are Roosters for

    No rooster = a very nice eggs benny. Rooster in the hen house = a possible beak in your eggs in a hat.

    Ford F150 with a 3.5 L turbo and the 3.31 rear.

    If the 3.5L EB makes 375HP and we use the widely accepted average of 3% loss of HP per 1000' with naturally aspirated engines, you'd have to be operating at close to 10,000' to experience a 100HP loss. Unless you're towing up Pikes Peak, you'll probably be OK the vast majority of the time with...

    I just made the classic British mistake.

    I read the title and immediately thought you made a wiring mistake! One of my favorite track day stories, the gentleman doing the driver meeting in the morning was explaining the flags to the novices. When he got to the debris flag, it was explained as, and I quote "the British car ahead flag".

    Dear auto manufacturers.....[rant]

    I had to do something with my strong pimp hand when I got out of the game. At least my hand doesn't require sharpening. ;)

    Dear auto manufacturers.....[rant]

    And this is why I LOVE old, air-cooled, German cars. Simple, reliable and soooooo much fun to drive. Of course, I'm an old soul and still chop wood by hand... :)
