There is unfortunately little to no value in resale of hand tools and smaller non power tool. I too wound up with tons of duplicates and more than I needed after consolidating a few shops...I found more value in bundling and giving them to kids who want to or are learning to wrench on and build...

I go around looking for projects so I can justify buying the tools I want...

No, but that reminds me of when we used to regularly work in a city with delivery trucks that we had to unload and leave parked nearby for the day...a paid lot was $40+ halfway across town and to feed the meter all day was over $50+ taking up 2 spots but we learned that a parking ticket was only...

At least one court disagreed with that assessment leading to a $5M dollar judgment: https://www.lawyersmutualnc.com/blog/missing-oxford-comma-leads-to-million-dollar-recovery

We did some work for a company called Plant Labs...Google actually sold their imaging satellites to them and they are now the backend of Google Maps...they now have enough satellites in orbit to take 3 meter resolution picture of the entire land mass of the earth EVERY SINGLE DAY...but they are...

I agree and would totally do it underground as it is a rural lot and I only want 240 sq feet but will be doing some projects in then near future that will also likely involve County inspectors coming back and this will be a known property to them as a new development that just went through...

Do I need a permit? In dealing with idiocracy of County bureaucracy I have learned that every and/or/comma matter to the nuance of applicability of regulations and legal cases have been won and lost on grammar and punctuation regardless of intent....so need help with this one: "(A)...

After requesting different altitudes due to chop and gusty headwinds I had ATC once ask "Say winds aloft"...and after a confused "uhhhh....standby" response with same puzzlement you had he keyed back up and said "just how's the ride up there?"...

I did accelerated for both PPL and IFR. I traveled for PPL and IFR I used PIC that came to me and while the instructor and program were awesome I personally would not do that over again for IFR. If you have the time/resources to go to them get away from home the environment IMO. To pass...

About to dump cable TV and internet as I now have Starlik and only really watch 2 or 3 broadcast TV shows regularly...but have been a bit dismayed how fragmented the streaming services are and if you really want the equivalent to cable channel lineup you will probably be paying more in all the...

I bought a house ultimately hating the city and moved out of state and just kept it as a rental. Found a property manager that was a Godsend...The charged 10% of total rent and it was the best 10% I ever paid...they did everything from listing, renting, and managing. Had no idea who was in the...

...and remember kids..."NorCal, 5-9-8, Field in sight"...or "[X] miles from [FIX}" is the polite "HEY DUMBARSE, did you forget about me? Need handoff or further instructions" call to make to ATC.

So you are not lost coms...Query ATC and speak up to clarify IS the only thing to do. There are countless procedures on what to do in a coms failure but fear of keying up mic is not one of those taught by any CFIs or in the AIM otherwise not sure how one would have gotten their IFR ticket in the...

Weird...I have had two operators both tell me that lease backs almost always work out financially in favor of the operators much more so than the owners in the context of when I was inquiring about the business side of leaseback viability from an owner standpoint and aviation business operations...

I am a die hard Southwest fan and will continue to be for a few reasons...two free checked bags, no cancellation or change fees, point to point network, decent rewards program that is actually redeemable. I have not paid out of pocket for personal travel flight since 2012 and still have more...

This in today's skate parks!

A few buddies and I have been hitting a small mom and pop local resort that is only $99 per day. It is a decent intermediate at best place which suits us just fine with shorter runs but we can just lap lifts all day with virtually no lift line wait and actually get a seat in the lodge or at the...

This is their employees imploding them from the inside. Weather was the start, DEN ramp call outs and a few other localized call outs coupled with their antiquated system and inability to quickly recover due to Union and FAA rules and it all created the perfect storm of the meltdown. In the...

Tow ratings and ability/durability to utilize that maximum tow rating on a daily basis are two different things. For example I have a Chevy Express 3500 cargo van that has a 10,000lb tow rating but after a few months of pulling a loaded car trailer under that rating we dang near blew up that...
