    Replacing truck, need opinions

    Being in Kalifornia, you probably want to move away from a diesel with all the stuff they are forcing down your throat.

    Feline hearing protection

    Look up Girl With the Dogs on youtube. She uses something called the Happy Hoodie (?) when using the high velocity dryer on animals she’s grooming. Most seem to do well with it in regards to both the noise and air flow.

    Buying an unbuilt kit plane located in Canada

    Might check with the Murphy people about that. Lots of their kits come to the US.

    Semis in CA Can Now Run on H2 Thanks to Toyota

    Will be interesting see how it works out. I thought that Ca banned repowering anything that wasn't built originally with a Tier 4 powerplant, which would mean anything prior to a 2014 model year.

    airliner actual weight vs GTOW?

    Dan: It's good enough that we can't truncate fuel load number in our release data anymore.... Sluggo: Ours doesn't show in the cockpit, but on our maintenance computers we use for checking service levels. I assume that if one got deep enough into cockpit displays, one would find it. I've never...

    airliner actual weight vs GTOW?

    Most big aircraft have the capability to self weigh via gear strut pneumatic pressures or strain gauges within the gear assemblies. I know the combat aircraft I work on has a reading that I can access as a maintenance guy, that shows current weight of the aircraft, no matter the load on it. If...

    How much do you tip for a haircut?

    I use The Boardroom...not a cheap cycle thru there, but cut, wash, face and arm massage....about a 45 minute process, even easier as I get a #4 all over, trim the eyebrows and even up and thin down the sideburns. It's my one luxury for myself, as I only need a visit every 4-5 weeks. I tip about...

    (NA) Propane cook top versus natural gas

    We've got a propane fueled on demand water heater at one house. A 100 pound propane tank would last about 5-6 months on it. That's with two adults, a 6 year old and a new baby. Average of two loads of laundry a day, running at least one load in the dishwasher and two 15+ minute hot showers...

    (NA) Not a LEO, but. . .

    The oil and chemical industry use what are known as "sample bombs" to get in process hot or cold samples from process streams. The look like a small cherry bomb muffler, with valves and unions on both ends.

    (NA) Not a LEO, but. . .

    We were moving it from Los Alamos to our museum in Fort Worth. It was to be part of the B-36 exhibit there.

    (NA) Not a LEO, but. . .

    Really want to wind the cops up, haul dummy ordinance. Friend was stopped for fuel while hauling a Mk 17 full weight hydrogen bomb case. Kid asked if he was hauling a bomb on the trailer. Told him yep, a nuke.... 15 minutes later the gas station was surrounded by every badged officer in the...

    Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs

    I toss one in a mason jar (after steaming or boiling) with an inch or so of cold water, cap and shake a bit. Shells come off easy then.

    Flashlight using 3 AA batteries? (Not AAA)

    Try the Nebo Big Larry series....I've got a couple of the early ones that don't have the end light in them. Well worth the 25-30$, takes 3 AA batteries and is all aluminum, magnetic end cap and has a pocket clip. The have one version that even has a baseplate for standing it up on a non-magnetic...

    Suppose I lost my engine within gliding distance to Area 51

    If you wander into that area from the west, you will be forced down. NTS used to be a shoot first security site, not sure the rules have changed since I worked out there....Took scads of paperwork for us to fly a load in on our company airplane and it was under the watchful eyes of a pair of...

    Brainstorming about a travel trailer/small toy hauler for full-time travel

    Full timed split between company provided hotel rooms and a company owned 26’ travel trailer for most of a year. Was so glad when the company wanted it back for a jobsite office. Trailer had a 2’ wide by 11’ long corridor that opened to 4’ wide at the table and sofa. Couldn’t keep it cool in the...
