    Hangar Cost

    I'm #2 on a waiting list at my present airport for a T-hangar at $150 per month. But I am looking at moving to another (nearby) airport for the winter where the T-Hangars are $193 per month. I'm going to drive over there tomorrow to look at one and also find out if that is on a month-to-month...

    People With Too Little to Do?

    "flat-out violated" seems to be an assessment that he deliberately violated the code. Deliberately? Probably not. I wonder how many of us have actually read and understand all of the local ordinances that may apply to areas in which we live.

    Cookies

    It's not really "cookies" that do that. It is unintentionally downloaded software such as adware or spyware that may ride along with game installations or "helper" type applications. It is also done by intentionally downloaded toolbars or by joining certain "loyalty" shopping sites such as...

    Shop at Sears.

    Yeah, that Sears post is making the rounds "again" this season. It turned up two days ago (verbatim) on a marketing forum I frequent and I have recently received it in a few emails. I have no problem with Sears. I have been buying and using Craftsman hand tools for nearly 50 years.

    Wireless Routers

    I concur on all three points. (But add NetGear to Belkin as another one to avoid.)

    Best Day Ever?

    Wow. What a wonderful story. Just reading about your day made my day, for sure. That is one of those times you will long remember and cherish. Bravo for you, Nick.

    140 year old covered bridge, burned by vandals

    I always thought it was so the horses couldn't see the height above the water (or stream bed) and, therefore, wouldn't be afraid to cross the bridge. But, you're most likely right - because all we see today are signs that say, "Bridge ices before road." :D

    Elmira NY Pireps? (x-post with red board)

    Or, someone just might build another one - without ads. The data are available online, for free, from government sites (our tax dollars at work)*. The programming is not all that difficult, just time intensive to set it all up. There is also a certain time factor to keep the server, the site and...

    Little Kid's First Flying Lesson

    As a former elementary/middle school teacher, that was certainly a joy to watch. You provided a truly wonderful experience for that young lady. Bravo. :thumbsup:

    Texas Has a Style You Just Can't Help but Appreciate!

    Unfortunately, there are some schools (around here) where reactions might be like that.

    Chicago Area TFRs

    The outdoor celebration tonight is going to be very large. There will likely be 100,000 +/- people in Grant Park (it is a huge place) watching/awaiting the election returns. Evidently they need to be protected from GA. The candidate, himself, will be behind a wall of bulletproof glass. :D

    Voting Lines

    I haven't missed voting in our neighborhood in the last 25 years - and I have never seen as many people at the polls as I did this morning. The polling place also had more election workers than I have seen before, so they were prepared for, what looks to be, the largest voter turnout in a long...

    Google-analytics

    "Google Affiliate Network connects advertisers and publishers who want to increase sales and drive leads through affiliate marketing." Something new for Goog - since early in 2008, when they bought what is (arguably) the third largest affiliate marketing network. Just food for thought. :)

    The Blue Angels will be down a jet

    Re: The Blue Angles will be down a jet In this case, unfortunately, it will probably turn quite ugly for the participants. And that is a shame - I have been a big fan of the Blue Angels (and the Thunderbirds) since I was a kid. And that's a long, long time. :) The military has clearly...

    Damn this Expensive Hobby! :-)

    Yeah, sweet, isn't it? I've had my Ercoupe for about 5 weeks and figure I'm burning just under 5 GPH. But, that's "tach time" - I don't have a Hobbs - so "clock" time is probably more like 4.5 GPH. :) On the downside, I have the MoGas STC but am using the self-serve 100LL available here at my field.

    Fall Colors / Corn Maze - Post your Pics

    Yesterday we had a great late afternoon flight - hoping to catch colorful foliage here in Maryland. We flew north along the Susquehanna River Valley, but the leaves were not yet quite "ripe." But I thought this photo did justice to the flight - with a patchwork quilt of farmland, trees and...

    Lets say I am a CFI-SP

    This thread is interesting, indeed. I have just returned to the skies after a 37 year hiatus from flying. Of course (back then) I had a PP-ASEL, but never did any flying other than what fits today's SP definition. I started working on rebuilding my skills at a Sport Pilot flight school and...

    Do I really have to tell my wife...

    1 Spouse x 34 years. Don't know how she put up with me that long. :D

    A significant milestone, for sure. Congratulations.
