I had one that would creep in every couple of weeks. I was spinning out of control like a wing had come off or something. The entire dream was me looking in the back seat at my son strapped in his car seat screaming. He was 1 or 2 in the dream that started when he was only a few weeks old. I...

100LL = 7.45 Car gas = $6.29 Not sure how much of that is market vs. WA state taxes because those are pretty high.

I believe you should swap the word leaders for employees.

lol. Ok, thanks.

Totally off topic... Richard, I knew someone with your name 12 or so years ago in Auburn, WA. Are you the same guy that was working at the airport back then?

I did have a cheap one catch fire about 2 hours into a 4 hour flight. I now have one from Sporty's and agree that they are cheap and fine to use. The digital voltage display also gives an indication of battery health and alternator output.

I don't know if it is the extra seats. Sure, that does increase the price but my issue a few years ago was the fact that they didn't want to insure a 210. I could get some high priced insurance on an Arrow or Mooney but nothing on a 210. That was with 250+ total time, IR and 50 hours in complex...

There was a comment a few years back from a Washington State politician that flat out said property owners didn't own anything, they leased it from the state. Trying to remain apolitical, my comment ends there.

Same thing on my tank. The temp gauge wasn't for the crew but for the ammo. It would often top 120 and I still had my coffee. Pop out of the hatch while moving and get the 100+ degree wind in the face and yes, still coffee. I was on CNN once in 04 and my parents saw me. I was not on my tank but...

I prefer they start drinking the day before they fly with me. It keeps the screaming down....

Not having ever purchased an airplane I would offer this.. If I was looking to buy anything used that had a fresh coat of paint I would wonder if they were hiding something. Maybe get it painted now and freshen the interior so you can enjoy it for a bit before you sell. Slightly used would sit...

Doesn't make it ok. I pay their salaries as I contribute to my own through taxes and if I am held to a standard...... shouldn't they?

My parents also lived through the depression but had a slightly different take on things.... Why is it ok for the government to charge me taxes for the same thing repeatedly? New items, sure. The increased value on things considered as investments, maybe. But seriously.... gas tax to fix roads...

It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't turned in the certificates that I received in uniform and was told they didn't count even though they were well within the same FY. My contract is for Army Military Funeral Honors.... I manage 2,000 burials a month in 13 states of the northwest region. I still...

I miss wearing my tank NOMEX. It is roughly the same as the flight PJs but a little thicker. The NOMEX gloves are also thicker because they do tear easily but man were they comfortable. I was tasked with picking up a VIP from a local FBO in Seattle because I was the only one that knew where it...

I'm a federal contractor now and am only half way through the list of trainings you just posted. FML!

wouldn't surprise me. In AK the wing had I now know where you fit on the continuum... I have had experience with many prior service members moving to the Army. Some were Marines, my last gunner was a surface ship sailor, and some were even coasties but we treated them with the respect they...

I mean between the prior service members that just want to be a part of the program and not pretend to have a rank or the little Napoleons. My wife is Irish and I am Icelandic. The last time we visited her ancestorial home I pointed out that my ancestor ruled that area and built the castle we...

A 10 year Marine in NOT a PFC. I'm curious about what your rank and rate was while serving on a sub. I'm also curious about how that time translates to how a 10 year Marine feels about being treated like a new cadet. I don't know anything about the Marine in this discussion but as an Army dude...

Ummmm... didn't get that from the post. What I did take away was that he didn't feel that it was necessary to jump through hoops for people that hadn't stomped the same ground. I went to a CAP orientation event and was screamed at by a man my age that looked like he was wearing a maternity...
