    Juneau Airport (rant)

    Flew out of Juneau today 8:30 am departure. 6:30 am I got stuck in long term parking lot because they have not cleared the lot of snow and ice, and I have a 4x4 truck. No one at airport could help me out. They said call a tow truck!!! Found a shovel and spent 1 hour trying to dig out, no luck...

    Got my Mooney back finally!

    I'm in the same boat, I'm putting my Baby Beech Sport up for sale. Going to do a good annual this spring, hopefully fly a bit this summer and sell in the fall. I figure I have had a good run, owned it since 1996 flown it from coast to coast. With the loss of my wife in December 2022 and the...

    What are Roosters for

    If your tenants are raising the chickens as a hobby for pets, fine. But if the think they are going to offset the cost of eggs they are going to spend more money raising them than the eggs are worth.

    printer for home use

    Hi everyone, I'm very disgusted with my home printer. It's an HP1510 laser jet. Don't get me wrong it prints fine but the cost of ink is crazy. I think its over $60 to replace the color and black cartridges. Probably bought ink so far that totals 3 or 4 times the new cost of the printer. What...

    I'm trying to downsize, and need to get rid of a fair amount of tools. I retired in January 2021 and just don't need a lot of the tools I have. There are 6 tool boxes I keep in the hangar and probably 6 or more tote or hand carry boxes plus another 2 top boxes at home. The thing is most folks...

    Should I not own if I can’t find hangar space?

    What type of plane? Sorry if I missed it in the thread. I tied down for 20 years in Juneau, AK. Not my first choice, been in a hangar for the last 4 years or so. Same plane, Beech Sport. Used engine, wing, tail and canopy covers in the fall thru winter. Again not my first choice but it worked...

    Dear auto manufacturers.....[rant]

    my rant is all the modules they use today to control everything from wipers to fuel pumps. I think my truck 2009 GMC 1500 sierra has a dozen modules. Recently the fuel pump module failed. I bought one and found out it needed programed. Well the dealer needs the truck and the module to program...
