    Most ecellent documentary on plastic waste

    CBC had a great investigatory report regarding where the Canadian recyclables end up. They put GPS trackers in the bins and IIRC, most ended up in SE and India where they BURN it. Of course, reporters went to these nations masquerading as Recycling firm reps looking for a place to get rid of...

    Aircraft financing

    I watched a YouTube vid made by a new car salesman explaining how most of the money is made at the financing desk. My parents were always cash buyers and always made it big deal out if it and still have an expectation to “get a good deal when paying with cash”. I don’t disagree with them, I...

    closed self service fueling (covid 19 related)

    Full service was discontinued at my field a while ago.

    Padlocks

    Best security is a basic lock to keep the honest men out. Otherwise rely on good lighting, HD cameras (trail cams or the high def security cams that have memory card slots), and a good insurance policy. I lost the keys to my firearm and also my valuables safe. The Stack-On Sentinel gun cabinet...

    importing an airplane from Canada to U.S.

    Logs will probably be key. I’ve banged in plenty of salvaged aircraft recoveries too. I didn’t ask too many questions. The goal is to get it back into the USA. Dealing with the FAA is a totally separate matter. I know a gentleman who has imported a ton of birds. Ive never heard him comment on...

    importing an airplane from Canada to U.S.

    You DO NOT need a broker. Contact the local CBP Port of Entry that you will be using and ask for what THEY want you to do. If it’s for personal consumption then DO NOT mention anything implying it is a commercial transaction or they will be idiots and demand you go thru a broker. All you need is...

    I big part of this too is masking up the patients.

    Flight training halted?

    The Dutch Notam seems more practical than a blanket ban of all VFR flights. I’m surprised to hear/read the chatter from fellow pilots badmouthing anyone that flies right now; even solo. Maybe they are jealous? But there was a time that people believed you could get AIDS from shaking ones hand...

    N95 mask for a nurse?

    The Wuhan One Niner is smaller than the N95 but the thickness of the filtration element should have no problem catching it. I don’t work around too many strangers and my hospital treats the positive screenings as if their head is on fire. A PAPR mask system is what all healthcare workers need to...

    N95 mask for a nurse?

    What she is looking for would be extremely uncomfortable to wear all day. I know this because I have done that when painting vehicles. It’s dreadful. I’d stick with a traditional N95. I work in a medical center and I am just wearing a regular rectangular medical face mask. It’s 100x more...

    Tailwheel main gear sideways dolly: anyone build one?

    I bet I could modify a pair. They sell tire jacks at half the price of their “premium” Daytona line. I might pick some up later and see what I can do.

    Tailwheel main gear sideways dolly: anyone build one?

    I determined that the quick-jack dolly's would NOT work by reading the specs from Harbor Fright's web site. I'm surprised they fit small car tires.

    Tailwheel main gear sideways dolly: anyone build one?

    Yes this is true; see the other design photo i found in my very first post (red one). That’s why I need to design a handle system. The plane only weighs 630lbs so it’s not too bad.

    Nope won’t work with my small wheels for many planes.

    Tailwheel main gear sideways dolly: anyone build one?

    Well I reverse engineered Jonas Marcinko’s design. I took my new Klutch branded CHICOM MIG welder out of the box, hooked it up to the gas, and started burning away. My local weld shop had these fancy weld-on hinges for a few bucks so I just had to use some. It’s heavy but not that heavy. I’d...

    Grandpa, What you do in the 2020 Virus War?

    Ohio Governor drops MOAB on his state economy

    The Indian survived because they followed the buffalo. Maybe consider delivering pizzas or some sort of food. Maybe even on a cash-only basis. 20 years ago I’d clear $200 on a Friday evening. That’s probably like $350+ in today’s money.

    Credibility issue; Brian Williams was blown out because his nose grew too long to fit on camera.
