    What knot for the ground end of the rope?

    As above...bowline on the bottom. Regarding chains....on boats..well sailboats are only what i know...for a good anchor rode you use chain. And attach a snubber from the chain to the boat to dampen the pull, cycling and fatigue on the boat/anchor/chain combo. But in case of very bad weather the...

    Freedom boat from Greens Creek Mine......

    Those are guide prices for people who dont follow metals to get an idea how much revenue the mine generates. And if your selling 8,000,000 ounces a year...you're selling at/near the market price quoted or possibly some other contract price. But yes you're right if you go down to the local...

    NA - Farms

    Ill echo what Jim K and the others have said....you make money farming on other peoples land. Around me in SW MI a few families do a large amount of the corn/bean planting. These families have the big farming equipment and other infrastructure (trucks, dryer, storage ,etc). There are still a few...

    Should Radios Be Required At Non-Towered Airports?

    personally I think no one should be allowed to operate an aircraft without government approval. You should need a form signed by 4 bureaucrats prior to even starting an engine on a aircraft. For safety's sake. :rolleyes:

    Got a quote for my first annual on my VW powered Minimax and was shocked. The A&P I am talking with built the first customer made Minimax, serial number 3. He has also owned several VW powered aircraft. And hes based at a nearby airport. The price for inspection and sign off......$229. Any...

    Retirement: inside or outside the USA?

    This guy has it figured out. Thats my plan in another 15-20 years. You can live pretty cheap "on the hook" ie anchoring or using moorings. Pop into a harbor or marina to stock up every 4-6 weeks. Roam the Earth and see the sights. Or Central/South America. This place is going to the dogs and...
