You may need to use one tractor for the FL jobs and get a different one for long-term mowing and grading. It's easy to buy a bigger one than you need and then wish you had gone smaller. #2 daughter's best HS friend's dad owned the JD store in Gardner, KS. I was one of his "floor-plan"...

Have you read the shop notes and tech notes for the work-order? You holding back information about what happened? I can show you a 30+ hour job on a P-210 alternator as well, but you obviously know that's impossible to defend and that the shop was either crooked or inept.

I've already concluded this bill couldn't have been a normal course of business transaction and that something happened to drive up the cost. Otherwise there's no rational explanation.

Don't be surprised when you lose. The shop will say that would have been their estimate as well, if you had asked for one.

No, muscle-mind, you asked if I would be happy with the estimate. The answer was no. Which word don't you understand?

The answer was no. Do you read well?

No. And knowing the ineptitude of most shops insofar as electrical work is concerned, I wouldn't bother to ask for a quote.

Yeah, they only have about 15 minutes until they quit. Then the prop curls back and eventually the engine reverts to a flat-head Ford. If the engine is running, is it necessary to pull up anywhere other than your own hangar?

If I pulled up, that means it's running. In which case, none of the above.

I won't work on jobs that require hourly billing or tracking. Too much hassle for too little benefit for both the client and me. Scope of work will include everything it takes to get the job done to their satisfaction. Fee will be stated up front, payable half in advance and half on...

Back home they said "All that glitters is not glit, and all that titters probably ain't either."

Whatever. I've never been in that big a hurry.

If you allow yourself to fly that close to such systems you got more problems than trying to sort out the merits of various weather devices.

Roy "Gooch" Gowdy ran a laundry/cleaners that was located just off the lobby of the old Casa Grande hotel in down-town Elk City, OK, using the machinery and equipment formerly used by the hotel prior to its demise. Gowdy had inherited numerous sections of wheat ground (with full mineral...

Craigslist help wanted section would be my best resource for such talent, unless a lurker appears in the meantime. But you might find one closer to your cube at work. They are somewhat elusive creatures and difficult to trap, especially if any work appears to be eminent. :D

Do you have nexrad capability? I had access to an older stormscope and all the installation stuff. When I asked the radio shop if I should install it, the shop-owner and long-term friend laughed softly and said no. He said if you got one and like it, don't take it out. If you don't got...

The -50's come in different configurations. My case started life as a TSIO-520.

Much more to the equation. How much more would he pay for a newer model? What's the decline curve for both? If newer, when will the 10-year date occur? You can't base a an aircraft purchase decision on a single factor that occurs on 10-year cycles and is of little import in the big scheme...

C'mon, dude, how much economic sense does that make?

Being advertised by the service center in TX. They should have all the service records and invoices (unless they have used the CSR cop-out and discarded them) for prior work, so you should be able to get a fair picture of actual costs. Their hangar is about 200 yards from mine.
