    Wife Threatened To Report Me To The FAA

    This is why two party systems work so well. One party wants to take everything from you. The other party will let you keep your stuff, but you have to give them all your profits. :) My wife's family is Sicilian, and doesn't believe in divorce. She's pretty understanding, but if I cross certain...

    Favorite conspiracy theories

    My friends parents growing up, most of my teachers in school, many of my bosees, local (especially) and higher level governments, all advertisers and big businesses adhere to this reasoning. Is it any wonder that after a lifetime of being subjected to people who get you do do what they want you...

    End of home cooked meals

    Some things do much better than others. Italian dishes like pasta dishes, and some Mexican dishes that are in mole do pretty darn well IMHO. To my mind they are actually better on the second or third day after being made. (The flavors seem to mix together.) When I work I usually take along...

    The Nazis. They made communists wear red triangles, and gays wear pink triangles. Being morons they weren't always able to differentiate the two. "Log Cabin Republicans." My father worked for a gay oil company owner in the 1960s, and a gay attorney in the 70s... That's just two off the top of...

    End of home cooked meals

    I'm not "white washing the past," my comment was strictly about the aircraft around and in general use in 1954. I'm not sure what you are referring to, but FWIW "new" things tend to attract non-conformists, in historical terms aviation is a relatively "new" endeavor, and a lot of the early...

    End of home cooked meals

    I like 1954. Lots of little GA airports, lots of them grass. Lots of T-craft, 140s and 120s, Ercoupes, Luscombes, Aeroncas, Pipers with their wings in the correct place, L-10s, DC-3s and -6s in revenue passenger service...

    I disappeared from the FAA Registry of Airmen

    FTFY For example many months ago, when planning to buy my airplane, I reserved a "new" registration number on-line. I was billed for that reservation in nano-seconds. A few weeks later I received by mail a letter confirming my reservation of the "new" number for 365 days from the date...

    Help with an manufacturing assignment

    I have no idea what you are talking about and don't work in that industry but here are seven paragraphs on the subject... Just thought that I would be first :)

    Nah, they don't break. They just need to be re-torqued to spec periodically so all the loose nuts don't fall out and roll away.

    Ask me your hardest checkride questions

    I'm no expert but I don't think there is a commercial single engine airplane in current use that will fly from Ames Iowa to Dallas Texas in less than 30 minutes.

    Argon vs Nitrogen for a strut

    I did this (tires and struts too) right before my last reweigh. I now have a 450 pound Cessna 150 with a 1150 pound useful load.

    Can you legally bring more sausage if you also pick up five dozen helium-filled balloons at a big-box party store-- oddly located at MBG (Mobridge SD)?
