Last milestone I photographed in the f350:

Only folks I let go are temps (go through them like underwear to find one that even somewhat meets expectations) and contract folks that either don't perform or have safety issues. The temps are easy: "don't need you back next week". And egregious safety violators are even easier: "you just did...

Mine too: Shirley we were shot down just then...Shirley you meant to roll out on the wrong heading...etc. etc.

Thing I've continually been amazed by... When dealing in $100 bills, money really doesn't take up the space you'd think. I guess the movies have me trained to think it requires a briefcase. That $13k I drove to NJ was in two envelopes from the bank, neither overstuffed, both in my pocket.

Knock on wood, hasn't happened. I'm not a huge fan of pay pal, for no clearly articulable reason, so I can't help convince you there.

I've bought and sold a number of vehicles (ask my wife for a guess on how many and I promise she'll say 200+). If it's ~$10K or less... Cash. Greater than, I do it at a bank with a cashier's check. So far so good. Sketchiest was driving to NJ from VA with $13k in cash because seller of truck...

Pretty close to me as the crow flies, I hear they teach a mean driving course (offense and defense, on and off road) here: You could even fly in, but I'd make sure you were invited...

Oldest Cat our company has is a mid 90's D3. I'm of no use to you on old stuff... Plus, in our case, local dealer gets 99.9% of our parts orders. BUT, sweet 165. I had a 135 that I loved.

I was searching my email for something yesterday and the search terms pulled up a handful of conversations I had three or four years ago with buyers (or people that emailed in response to something I was selling; 'buyers' they were not) on Craigslist. I apparently had less patience then. I said...

I might put my f350 on there just for kicks. It's a 6 speed manual diesel with Lariat trim. Fairly rare and from what i can tell, what tiny niche exists for such a truck shops on BaT.

My commute with tolls: 1hr 12min, each way. Avoid tolls: 8hr 14min, each way. I pay $10/day happily.

I was part of (the same way a lab rat is 'part of') a study at Duke by DAN, and I think USN, doing chamber dives and then flights with shortened intervals. I've since forgotten the exact profile of dives and flights I did, but it was pretty short relative to the recommendations, and we only had...

I'm not in IT, but I get that a lot. To compound things, I'm young to be in the position I'm in, so I get the "I've been doing [fill in thing they're doing wrong] since you were in diapers". I just always tell them that just because they've done it wrong this far into their careers without...

Entirely possible it was said same in my case and I either misheard or my brain didn't comprehend since it's not something I frequently hear.

Had an L-39 landing behind me at my home field. His call was "Experimental 123XY, 10 mile final 21" (I heard experimental... I pictured an RV). What felt like 10 seconds later, he makes a 3 mile call. What the heck? Fast RV or a pilot who is a bad judge of distance. Then he landed a little...

I typed a complaint about my IT department...but then I deleted it. Pretty sure they read everything. :cool:

Agreed. And I always close the front door/lid on our hose house thing. It's two quick turns on a stainless knob and the sun isn't shining on that rubber trying to break it down. Seems I'm in the minority on that action.

Sort of how light twins seen like a good deal sometimes, mid size offshore boats are the same way. Acquisition isn't the hard part. Feeding and care. After I stepped into my first (and so far, last) twin inboard sport fish, I ran offshore for a day, trolled, caught a few fish and ran back in...

The little GMC SUV's, the f150, Corvette, Wrangler, Expedition/Navigator, ATS, Taurus, CT6, Cherokee. I was wrong, 9. If you count sister marquees in the case of the GMC's and the Ford/Lincoln it's like 14. That was for '17. That also assumes you count a company with a tax base in the UK and...
