    Amazing that only injuries came of this FBO encounter

    well, there's one perfectly re-usable tire.

    Piaggio Avanti on the ramp... would it have been rude to take a picture?

    For the record, I like Salty and I agree with his position on the matter 100%. But I'm begging him to ignore this thread. As a matter of fact, I hope the bastard doesn't even see this post.

    How'd you like to be the tire salesman that landed that account?

    Really? You have to share some tales of excitement. Really. We're easily entertained around here.

    “Bargain” $1,000 phone?

    I learned something today. I didn't realize there were aviation GPS apps out there for your phone. I've never downloaded an app in my life, but if I was ever going to this would be the one. Problem: My phones have always stopped working once I'm in flight. I just upgraded my Blackberry...

    Interested in how many have trouble falling asleep in hotels?

    The biggest problem I have is the hvac unit sending stuff into the air that congests me. And I've never, ever, not once, stayed someplace where at least half a dozen groups of people think it's fine to come yelling down the hall at 2 a.m.

    Uber tipping?

    How would you not tip someone using his own car to take you somewhere? If I'm going to tip the server walking my food 20 feet from the kitchen to my table I'd certainly tip an uber driver, if I ever use the service. The exception would be if he has his cell out or radio on, then it would all...

    Stupid Ford

    I thought you were going to talk about how they discontinued the Ranger in the US just as small truck sales were exploding. Or how they didn’t learn from that and decided that they really didn’t need to make a variety of car models.

    Dorian - Here we blow again....

    A few weeks ago a weatherman was fired for saying that while on air. The station kept issuing weather alerts to drum up attention and he'd had enough, and said that it was dangerous because people would start ignoring the alerts. He's unemployed, but I admire him for his integrity.

    [NA]120,000 mi engine oil?[NA]

    I've had a few of these, and still changed the oil regularly. Why, I don't know, because every time I discard a mower the engine runs great. It's the rest of the mower I've worn out. As for not changing oil....my wife is the queen. I check the sticker every time I get in her car.

    Beauty is in the eye...

    The 150 was my original trainer and I had a couple of partnerships in them years ago. 1. Dirt cheap to fly. 2. Responsive, because of their light weight. (which can also be a drawback when you want something more stable) This is the plane I flew back in the day when I'd pick a place at...

    Retiring now

    12 years ago my wife and I had saved/invested $2M. I didn't think it was nearly enough (of course, I was 42 then). My wife's dad fell ill, no savings, no insurance and between medical bills and the subsequent assisted living facility....*poof* I say that just to point out that few things are...

    Need a kidney?

    Something happened last night that I didn't expect. Someone pointed me to the daughter of his co-worker and I touched base only to find out it probably won't work. Broke my heart.

    Need a kidney?

    There’s a point system. You get an extra 4 points to help push you up on the list. That was my first question.
