    Lost My Faithful Companion

    We went through a similar experience a few years ago with our Golden named Maggie. Reading your post brought back a flood of memories and some tears for sure. My sincere condolences for your loss - like several posters have mentioned it is hard to verbalize the feeling that come with loosing a...

    Airstrip legal battle Idaho

    This fight has been going on for sometime. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective) Idaho is a strong property rights state for you to do what you want and when you want with your property or, if you’re a Republican state senator, public lands to the point of logging and...

    Air-to-Air Cessna 337 Skymaster

    Nice pics! That 337 sure has a lot of rivets and what appears to be a wrinkle or 2. Anyway, great job as usual Jack!

    What's the mask/vaccine requirement situation in your area?

    In Idaho, records were set for the most new cases over the weekend. Where I live (Kootenai County just outside of Coeur d’Alene) all elective and non- emergency surgeries have been cancelled because there is no space in the ICU for anything other than COVID patients. So, sorry about that cancer...

    Tiny Piaggio with Raptor Goals...

    The only thing missing to make this a believable possibility is the all in price tag of $200K USD from the factory. So where do I mail my deposit?

    Thoughts on Progressive Lenses For Flying

    Been using progressive lenses for over 10 years. Flying Eyes did my sunglasses and I have been using them for about 4 years or so with no problems. My current progressives are from Costco optical. I got 2 pair for less than the price of 1 pair from an optical shop. Haven’t detected any...

    How to buy an Airplane?

    I am a solo owner and paid cash for my plane. Also used a signed contract and there are lots of samples on the internet. I bought when the market was in something of a lull but I still moved as fast as possible with the contract and deposit. The plane I bought was in the process of being...

    It it time to get dressed?

    My A&P does check my prop every annual and logs it in the Prop Log. I think I am on a 3 or 4 year dynamic balance cycle on the prop, or every time it is removed. I understand some do a dynamic balance every annual but to me that it an unnecessary expense.

    Air Travel in Ten Years

    I was a road whore for 12 years or so, most of it international. While a lot of preliminary work can be done via Zoom or other technologies, I agree with those whose believe it takes F2F to seal the deal if it’s a contract or some other transaction, e.g., a n acquisition or merger. And in some...

    EI CGR 30P question

    I have the HP setting and frankly, it doesn’t match the performance charts. Seems to be reporting low. Depending on the altitude, rpm and fuel flow, anywhere from 3-5-7% low compared to the performance charts. Or maybe it’s the performance charts that are off since the CGR 30 P is suppose to be...

    New 70” TV Shopping - LED vs “QLED”

    I have a 75” Samsung QLED and I can’t say enough good things about it. I have it paired with a Yamaha receiver and Bose speakers/subwoofer and it makes a decent home theater. Not really a fan of Apple, but I moved from a 4kHD Firestick to a 4KHD Apple TV and was shocked at the difference in...

    Does this thing even exist?

    T-34 Mentor, although it might be a little shy on the ceiling. If you have the money ($$$$), they’re around. Same with T-28A and B models. They might be a little cheaper but way more thirsty. A friend on mine owns a B model. I think he said something like 35-40 gph plus 1-2 gph on oil. But it...

    Mazda complaint

    I am on my last Mazda. I had a 2006 Mazda 3 that I got 253K on it and my nephew and niece pushed it to over 300K before donating it. Other than eating tires, it was a great car. My 2016 CX5 on the other hand is not so swell. Just slightly over 116K miles, it is now using a quart of synthetic...

    Memories...

    Anybody remember Green Stamps? My grandmother and my Mom used to collect them all the time in their little books. When they had something like 10,000 stamps they could redeem them for merchandise. It was a an exciting day when they went to the store to get an item with their stamps.

    Memories...

    Yep - and Sugar Pops and all the rest. My parents were not well off so those kinds of cereals were not part of our diet except on rare occasions. I remember my Mom buying generic cornflakes and wheat puffs with store names or the brand of all brands, “Western Family”.

    Not Aviation - Amazon rant

    Amazon’s business model is the envy of the world. With its proprietary dynamic pricing algorithms, it can change pricing in a millisecond based on demand. Home delivery of everything from auto parts to food to entertainment to now pharmacy items.Talk about one stop shopping and convenience...

    How can I watch the Olympics

    Wow this thread makes me feel really old. I remember using rabbit ears and tin foil. And getting only 2 stations good and one so so. When my kids decided to cut the cord a few years back, I had to convince them there was such a thing as FREE TV and you could get it using an antenna. You would...
