Only every single time I attempt to get support for anything. I know there must be people working at various companies who do actually have some clue what the hell they're doing, and how the hell their product/service works, but those people are no longer reachable by phone or email. All...

Exactly. Since all of the airlines suck, I'll go with whoever will get me there cheapest without ridiculous routing. Or I would. I've recently been adding a few to my personal "no-fly list". Looking at you, British Airways.

Haven't ever seen that. Plenty of US airports plus Heathrow, Belfast, Frankfurt, CDG, and a few others. I've never in my life had someone ask or check to see if I had the receipt for the bag I had. Not to mention the likelihood that your expensive stuff is going to get stolen out of your...

I have a DVD drive, but if I didn't -- and lots of people don't, most of them younger -- why on earth go buy one just becuase someone either can't figure out how to or doesn't want to either upload the same information to a file share, or just email it? I ran into similar things when I was...

Yes, I for one can't wait for the day when any government agency or criminal can track my every movement, every day of my life.

I've got a build log that I try to keep up to date. I've started on the main spars. A friend is letting me use his large, climate controlled shop to do the building. He's a cabinet guy, so the shop is well equipped for very precise cutting and there are some tools that would make the average...

Told a granddaughter the other day that when I was growing up, cell phones hadn't even been invented yet so we didn't have them. She asked if we were sad we didn't have them... I said I'm often sad now that we do.

No grass strips when I was training. Rentals from the FBO were specifically prohibited from landing on anything but pavement. My first operation on grass was with an instructor in a flying club plane, and was also a soft-field operation because the grass was tall and thick. I've flown from...

I don't think you're being argumentative. To each their own - I very much prefer leather over cloth. You like cloth over leather. That's why you can buy cars with both. We may not be interested in buying each others' used cars, but we can still be friends. :)

I don't have a plan as yet, really. I've considered an O-200, a reworked C-85, Rotec, Verner, Aeromomentum, Rotax, UL Power, and I even looked into a Corvair engine - though that's about the bottom of the pile, to be honest. I figure I've still got a couple of years until I have to make that...

I know this thread has been dormant for a while - like two years - but I don’t think it’s bad to resurrect it. This past weekend I drove 850 miles round trip to pick up a crate with all the spruce and plywood to finish my wings. All four of them. And the horizontal stab and elevator. A guy...

I work with a whole lot of people who are a whole lot younger than me. I'm not. Not at all. I don't.

But I'd have to look at a GTI to know that... there's a reason they make lots of different cars with lots of different options, because people like different things. I wear shorts a lot, but I've never been a girl so I'll defer on that point. I had one car once -- the first one I ever owned...

Leather seats look better. They feel better. They're often ventilated (not sure if you can get vented fabric seats or not). They're easier to clean. They don't stay wet if something gets spilled. They're easier to brush off when snow falls on them when you open the door in winter. If it's...
