    Need a kidney?

    I mentioned a few months ago that someone did something incredibly kind for my 20-year old daughter, and all he asked in return was that she pay it forward. She's limited in what she can do, but her dad.... One thing I've decided to do is donate a kidney, since I have 2 and only need one, and...

    Car Battery

    Here's a question. I have no idea what CCA's my truck is supposed to have, but I'm trading it in soon and wanted the cheapest battery I could find. Wal-Mart had the one at $120...and 1-year battery the same physical dimensions but with only 550 CCAs for $49...so that's the one I bought. It...

    Got published!

    It took me a while, but I found a mistake. Just messing with you. That's got to feel good.

    Final Arrangements

    *sigh* mortals...I think I'm good. Unless someone finds a stash of Kryptonite. Seriously, I'm with the guy who posted above me. If I have any useful parts they're welcome to them. And I'm contemplating giving up one of them this winter. I only need one kidney, right?

    SkyWest crew refuses to allow autistic pax to sit near family — walk off plane when questioned

    Hard to say what the real story is...except Delta is one airline I wouldn't mind seeing go under based on the way I was treated by them more than ten years ago. But please, if the special needs guy wasn't upset at that time and it took being separated to get the flight to fly...path of least...

    Negative ghost rider...

    Dang, that one's a fountain hog. It's like sharing a Diet Coke with my wife. Once I hand it to her...it's not coming back.

    An exciting time. Good to see you go for something fun.

    GG status after Epstein death

    With Epstein, I guess it's possible he held people captive. More likely, he just plied them and their parents with $ and everyone seemed to go along, kind of like with R. Kelley. In my twisted mind that's not really trafficking if we're talking situations where the victims are teenagers who...

    GG status after Epstein death

    I'd never even heard the term until Taken came out. I too would really like to know the real-world numbers, because you'd think there would be more wide-open evidence of it. I've known hookers (there by their own free will) but never anyone involved in sex trafficking, either buying or...

    your most embarrassing flying moment?

    That's almost as bad as accidentally texting your wife, thinking you're texting your gf.

    your most embarrassing flying moment?

    I remember a green student pilot doing touch and goes in a 150, wind gusting to 15 or so, and on one iteration I ended up in the grass between the runway and taxiway. I was scared to death. Tower came on and old me to catch my breath then I could taxi back to the ramp and said I wasn't the...

    Female pilot suing former employer after being told she's 'too short' to fly; Gloria Allred represen

    1. I'm surprised at the hostility toward her. 2. They just didn't want her and this seemed a valid reason to terminate so they jumped at the chance. 3. I'm surprised she's asking for so little.

    Electric Harley-Davidsons?

    Depending on where you live. In the warmer climates you won't see much of that. Where I am (Midwest) even during the winter months there's seldom a 30 day stretch where you're not able to get some riding time in. I was telling my wife again just last night that my problem with everything...

    Future of PoA

    Dang, I’ve never been curious before, but now I’m kinda curious what the number of active members has been each year. By active, someone whose posted x number of times in a given year. Still, there are few sites I visit every day and this is one of them.

    Electric Harley-Davidsons?

    You guys and your aftermarkets. Kinda makes me curious what aftermarket parts you'd put on an electric bike? It is a desperate attempt. I think it's priced that way to try to recoup their cost, which won't happen. They're losing money bad right now. HD used to be a great motorcycle mfr...

    Drones...Airplanes...They all look the same to some people.

    Sorry, I thought this was the "would you?" thread.

    Electric Harley-Davidsons?

    If I could change one thing it would be cell phones while driving. But using turn signals 1/2 second before turning isn't of any use to anyone.

    Future of PoA

    I don't see it as fb vs PoA. Here, you're talking with other pilots, mostly about aviation stuff and you can pick and choose with threads seem interesting that you might want to peek into or even join the conversation. I use fb as a way to keep up with the day-to-day goings on of friends and...

    Electric Harley-Davidsons?

    1. First, as to electric bikes, they're here and in several years will take over. Like general aviation, HD is nowhere near competitive in this market because the new generation of riders' definition of cool isn't what HD offers. 2. I'm not opposed to an electric bike, but it's nothing I'd...
