    Gelcoat gurus, looking to get fancy

    Just spray PVA on over the gelcoat to seal from the air and the surface will harden. This is how I handle repairs, never tried to shoot a whole boat. I'd be tempted to sand a spot with 800 grit then hit it with rubbing compound and wax to see what the potential of the stuff on the boat is...

    Heart of the West Engines

    The guy running this place has been in business under other shop names. We had a club 182 engine done at one. Took longer than quoted, tach cable came off motor on flight home over mountains (the amount of oil spewing out when we made a precautionary landing was visually stunning although less...

    One big class action lawsuit coming up:

    Natchez Shooters Supply has a killer sale on .223 and 5.56 including green tip that ends today. I'm well stocked myself, but could not resist another 2K.

    Public display of the consumption of alcohol

    I doubt the FAA would approve of ignoring an alcohol related criminal charge in another state.

    Lessons from shadowing a 100 hr inspection

    If the A&P is working "flat rate" he is getting X dollars for doing the inspection if it takes 1 hour or 10. If answering the questions of an inexperienced pilot adds time to the job that's time he's (or she's) not getting paid for. Working for free tends to make mechanics in most fields...

    Home Water Pressure

    Have you tried unhooking the water supply hoses from the washer and checking the flow into a bucket? I'm just thinking verify it's not a localized problem with the washer plumbing prior to doing anything drastic. A water pressure gauge and T fitting would probably run about $15 from Home Depot...

    Thinking about a Houseboat

    On a more serious note, I see a lot of houseboats for sale due to upcoming major expense. Getting a survey is a very good idea at this level of possible unexpected cash outlay. Also like getting a pre buy or annual on an aircraft, who inspects it is important. There are surveyors out there that...

    cheap cargo pants

    If you ever need ski boots for kids Goodwill is the place to shop. I can usually buy a pair cheaper than renting for one day. With the rate the kids feet grow at even a cheap pair of new ones is a losing deal.

    Look Attractive?

    It doesn't matter what it would pay him, if your not making more than welfare for a mother and two kids most here would consider that "not real wages". Not to say I would not have been all over it at that age.

    Look Attractive?

    According to the Cato institute a mother with 2 children in 2013 would average the equivalent of $60,590 per year in welfare payments. If this is true I can see why some would consider $50K (sub welfare) to not be "real wages".

    Public display of the consumption of Alcohol?

    I would have a local lawyer see if could be plea bargained to a civil infraction if this is indeed a misdemeanor ticket. The local court will probably be happy to collect your money and move on.
