    Thinking about a Ford Ranger

    And the stink when filling up for $0.75 higher prjce than gas [or more]. And don't drip any on your hands or clothes, that **** don't evaporate clean like gas, it stays greasy and smelly until washed out.

    How do you self-identify, meat edition

    Frog legs and rabbit are good! Just stay away from lower Louisiana, where nutria is a delicacy . . . . . as are several snakes. But no, you didn't exclude reptiles, only amphibs.

    Thinking about a Ford Ranger

    My 2004 Ranger with 3.0 V6 and manual 5 speed gets 20 mpg on the interstate at 75+; driving on the highway tomwork and back at 60, it's generally ~21.5. So how is the new zillion-speed auto any better? And how will the turbo last hauling gravel for my driveway, firewood and topsoil by the half-ton?

    MEA Route Planning

    You mean like "where all can I fly at 8000 msl"? Just turn on Low Enroutes and scroll around looking at the little gray numbers. Out there in the wide open, flat Northern Midwest, pick most any number above 4000 and you shouldn't have a problem. Depending on where in Germany you are, that story...

    I have reservations about some airports, but have never been to an airport on a reservation.

    Commercial Solo Cross Country Done

    Yep, no need for a special "trip to nowhere," just make an extra stop. If I ever go Commercial, I can't use my vacation trip (1320 nm each way, spending two nights enroute for sightseeing) because my wife was with me. But I did do Hurricane Relief after Florence in NC: 400 nm up to RDU; two...

    On board wheel chocks

    I found some aluminum 2×2 angle in the trash at work. Cut to length, file the ends smooth and sand the faces to look pretty. I've drilled holes in the ends but haven't gotten around to putting ropes or chains on them yet. They weigh nothing and take up little space on the hat shelf.

    Eufaula Airport (Alabama) Nearly Destroyed

    Oh, my God! Glad that you are alright, that was a really close call. I was in a hangar in Prattville, listening to the sirens and watching the rain fall sideways, then drove home through Wetumpka right afterwards, basicly folowing the storm along Highway 14. Hope things settle down soon...

    Beta Blocker for performance anxiety

    The ten-year lookback is from when the legislation passed, July 2016. So the question is, did the OP have a valid medical on whichever day in late July 2006?

    Minimum hours per year for Instrument proficiency

    You're right, Approach just vectors me way the hell away from it, while VFR it's simply "stay out of the Bravo" [direct quote from ATL Approach], but I don't have to go 20nm away to the penalty box before rounding the corner like I do when IFR.

    Cessna 182 prop arm?

    And here I thought the correct arm for a 182 prop was "long and strong."

    How do you self-identify, meat edition

    You do know that the root word of "vegetarian," pardon the pun, is a word in Oganquin meaning "bad hunter." I eat all meat, except fish eggs and other people. Consuming one's fellow species runs counter to survival of the species in the long term . . . . . Some meat has legs, some has fins...

    How do you self-identify, meat edition

    I identify as a carnivore, but will eat some green things. But I feel bad when I do, as that's what my preferred food eats, and it's like I'm stealing candy from a baby . . . . .
