Respectfully, it's a risk management scheme. Term life is meant to cover you until you don't need it anymore. Whole Life, well, that's a different story. As Mr. Weenie said, if he paid $360/month for 71 years, he'd have half a million dollars, but once the kids are out of the house, and the...

I prefer liquid H2. It's boiling point is 20.28 K (−423.17°F, −252.87°C), but it heats up rather quickly.

We're in the Dave Ramsey camp, but I see your point. Here is my problem with debit cards: Risk. If you have fraud on a credit card, the risk is on the the credit card company, not on me. If my debit card number is stolen (and it has been), I have to wait for the bank to investigate and give...

When is Costco coming to the local FBO?

Consider yourself lucky. Our minimum is $200. Impulse purchases make it harder. "But honey, we each need a kayak, and they're so cheap here!"

Yeah, I'm mindful of that too. I'm more of a "you know your stuff, so i'll pipe down. When they were 16, I taught them how to drive, and the first few times out, it was "watch every thing," and I had them watch every thing when I was driving too. Nothing like a 16 year old telling you all of...

Yeah, but once you go inside, you're doomed. Doomed! I tell you! (assuming that the food court is outside, like the old school Costcos)

One other thing... I am just getting through this book about Dennis Cairns, an RAF pilot that got T1 diabetes, and had to abandon his flying career, and wound up flying around the world. It's a pretty good read, whether you're a diabetic or not...

Something doesn't sound right... 'Spent $12.95' and 'Costco' aren't usually in the same sentence, much less the same story. Usually it's the same for me with 'FBO' and 'Spent $12.95'. ;) My sons said I should go for my CFI after I'm done training, and teach them. Sounds like a good deal to...

I know what you mean... Having to have the same rules for a Commercial Drivers License for an airplane is a bit much. The T1D rules are appropriate for a Class 2 or 1, but for a Class 3, IMO, too much. And this is from a diabetic that is in good control. There is also some logical issues...

Doesn't the event start on the 19th? :confused2:

Temperature limits. If you have to buy one, get the polyester, as it goes from -100F - 350F, rather than nylon, which has the range from -67F to 250F. Or, if cost is no object, get the Nomex or glass, which ranges from -67F - 500 or 800F...

I ask, "am I fit to drive an 80,000 lb vehicle full of Sulfuric Acid* 80mph down the freeway that is crowded with school buses full of children?" He says, "That's an odd question. You're a Quality Engineer, but I don't see why not." I say, "OK, thank you. The FAA has the same requirements for...

It is, in the jump start cable. It has jumper cables that attach to the EC5 connector, and my 12V split box will have a circuit breaker on the main bus. Noise cancelling is an option, and the circuit will be: Battery -> [Battery Box -> 2A breaker - 6 way splitter]-> 6 EC5 connectors ->...

Go here: https://gleam.io/5tp29/captain-jepp-challenge There's a one hour webinar that explains the Jeppeson Charts that may be worth your time. (3rd one from the bottom)

STOP!!! BEFORE YOU START!!! Talk to Dr. Bruce, who is on this forum, offline. He will make sure that you can pass the requirements before you get started, and things get worse (from a getting your Class 3 perspective) If you really want to fly, don't go in to the "Hotel California" of the FAA...

Yes. Nothing has changed, if you're getting the standard 3rd Class. AOPA's FAQ is pretty good: http://aopa.org/advocacy/pilots/medical/third-class-airman-medical-reform

My credit union offered me a temporary credit until the fraud: $1.50 on a soda machine $67.00 at a restaurant $965.00 (declined) at a clothing store was paid. I said, "no thanks, just credit it back when the fraud review is done (guaranteed in two weeks)" Questions asked: Are these your...

But I thought you'd be on there too, since you have the towels, or are you the FBO towel supplier?

This is the same for having a national news, as people we tend to localize everything. When national news (of 330 million people) is localized to a neighborhood way of thinking, even the biggest neighborhood of 20.1 million people (New York metro area) is still having 93% of the country not...
