Yeah, when you guys have all had plenty of firewater, it probably does sound good. There is a reason I don't get the guitar out in the daylight. But thanks for the compliment, Dave. :rockon:

Played trumpet, baritone, tuba, and a bit of French horn in school band. Picked up a guitar somewhere in there and hacked around on it some. Never was very good at it by real musician standards. In high school, a few of my cousins and I decided to try to be a rock band. I was the least...

I've never built a hangar, but I've been thinking about it recently. So far, it looks like the quonset style buildings seem to be the best bang for the buck. Easy to erect, pretty cheap, easily customizable to fit your needs, sturdy. I like the ones with vertical sides best. There are many...

You kiddin'? Good ol' Rockytop. Rockytop Tennessee. Played over the loudspeaker at every high school basketball game in Lindsay, OK for 30 years. However, our fine Georgia Bulldog friend, Mr. 310Pilot might strangle me upon hearing the Tennessee fight song ;):eek2:

Vacation has been put in, don't really care if it's approved. Bunking with the Theisens again. Will brink a bag o' sticks and the ol' six strang. See you jackwagons in April.

I looked quickly. Didn't see another one. My bad.

Some say a dimpled surface is slicker through the air than a smooth one. I figure the more dents and dings I get, the faster I can go. :D

A friend said he heard Kobe's kids were in there. Haven't found news on that. Man I hope it isn't true.

I'm hearing that Kobe died in a chopper crash among others. Not that I'm a fan of his personally, but he's one of the greatest ever to play the game. Hate for anybody to meet their demise in aviation...

Mine runs very close to book as well.

Thanks for the good input, yall.

Well this ought to be fun. How shall we divvy up Tim's stuff? I'm thinking there should be a big blowout fly-in open only to those that are willing to land on the 2200' ft strip. We gather around a bonfire. One by one, Tim presents his stuff to the crowd. Those who wish to have it must...

That. Being a guy that does pretty much everything in life myself, I'd love to paint my own. Problem is, I have no idea where I could do it. I could probably pull it off in my hangar, but as heavy mx is prohibited, I would be in breach of my contract if anybody came sniffing around.

Very good question. I've thought about it myself. As an owner, I spend an awful lot of time in, on, under, and around my plane. ALL my maintenance is owner assisted, or in other words, owner performed with a person with proper credentials in the room and signing stuff. That's not to say I'm...

Thanks y'all. Glad to hear your thoughts. I've had several friends and an A&P or two over the years telling me I should ditch the generator I dislike that the gennie doesn't really pick up until about 15-1600 RPM, but honestly, I don't fly much at night, and I only have a Nav/Comm...

C-172. Why? I'm fat.

Don't know about nobility, but it sure as heck means you went for quantity over quality ;) Joshing. Way to go Mikey. Wait......what happened to Clarkey Boy?

No arguement, just pointing out my experience. It very well may be a heck of deal for that part of the world. Everything doesn't cost the same everywhere. Anything over a grand for a basic inspection on a typical 4-seater would be considered high here. I don't set the prices, just pay up. I...

Wow! Impressive resume, sir. I started as a pumper in the aaawl patch. One year later, moved into CO2 rejection plant operations. A few years later, took on the safety coordinator role for all of our Oklahoma offices in addition to my shift operator duties. 7 years later moved into cryo...

Although the generator in my C-182 doesn't seem to want to quit working like a champ, I'm considering converting to an alternator when it shows signs of going kaput. What options are out there? What's the cost to convert? Is it worth it?
