Bad stuff, those Berdan primers.

One more update. The governor (King Jay) signed another idiot bill (pushed by our idiot AG) that outlawed the sale or purchase of semi-automatic "assault rifles" and the law lists them by name. So forget about moving to this state (of insanity) until that bill is struck down as...

It's bad enough down here in Olympia. I can only imagine what those folks from Seattle would be like.

www.dhmo.org for more details about this hazardous chemical. Complete with MSDS sheet. Seeing as you didn't sign anything when your parents bought a house there, if I were you I'd send that bill back to them and tell them to pound sand. Especially if their office isn't open when you arrive...

I live in an HOA. We own the roads. We do not have a way to fine people for violating the rules. I know, in the past 27 years I have been the head of the architectural control committee (twice, I didn't say NO fast enough and I have the job again), head of the landscape committee (my wife has...

We'll ride the airlines to Hawaii later this month. Second trip this year. Another one late in January. Kauai is lovely. #29 in terms of trips to Hawaii coming up, most to Kauai. Oh, a bit late to the party, but congratulations on the RtW trip being complete.

I haven't played with a simulator in over 10 years. Back then simulators worked well once it was airborne, but landing/taking off was far from reality. I used it when working on my IR to practice approached. Worked well for that.

Welcome to the US. Ahead of you lies the longest stretch of overwater flying known. At least you won't have to deal with immigration and customs when you reach the mainland.

Keep in mind that amateur radio operators (hams) can use a wide range of frequencies, something that CB and GMRS operators cannot. That said, when I was active in my Jeep I had a dual band radio (2 meters and 70 cm bands) that I used often. Our first Ford Escape was similarly equipped. The...

I would have to check the coverage map for "T" coverage in the eastern part of the state before I would think about changing from "V". We do keep the VOIP line for the house as "V" coverage where we live is spotty, at best.

The 5 months we spent in the Boston area in 1969 that was called a "128 Tune-up". Hwy 128 was the circumferential highway around Boston.

My first bike was a Honda 90. "Bikey 90" is what we called it. Plastic rain guards, etc. Then several years later I got a Honda CL-175. A good bike. Except that it lacked acceleration with 2 aboard, so we got hit by an idiot running a stop sign. I got it fixed and rode it until we...

AMOCO was great, as long as you lived in a place where you could get it. The western US was NOT where you could get it.

GMRS must be catching on somewhere. It has replaced CB radio with Jeep Jamboree. Personally, I'll stick with Amateur Radio (Ham radio). Far more flexible than either GMRS or CB. N6TPT

Ed, congratulations. April, you knew what you were getting into, but good luck anyway.

My first FR (and the club requires that we do one annually) years ago was in the club's Arrow. The first time I had flown it. My CFI said that was a great time to try something new. He was right, it was.

Having a DD 214 form is not necessarily a guarantee that the person is truly a veteran. I have one and do not consider myself to be a veteran. Honorable discharge from the Army reserve due to a medical condition, but I was in Army ROTC and blew my commissioning physical due to injuries...

Here is a picture I took at the BM a number of years ago. My boss (I've been retired for over 7 12 years) at the time never had a need to know great enough to see this picture as I never would have gone to one again. :-)

Moses Lake, WA would be great for me. I would guess that reason alone would rule it out. :-)
