I purchased something similar from www.polywood.com -- not quite as fancy (or expensive). Took a while for delivery, but I like the plastic wood so I don't worry about leaving them outside all winter in Colorado (or hauling them to the garage, covering them, etc.).

That's great -- I've never seen that one! I think it would be difficult to find a car from the mid-40s that would weigh less than 2800 lbs (even more so after subtracting passengers and fuel from useful load).

I'd try to go up the chain at Garmin and see if you can find someone that will help. Try tweeting your complaint and tagging Garmin, I've had that with with AT&T before.

You read it correctly, but remember the group behind this doesn't want the airport to accept any FAA grants (and the accompanying grant assurances). Their goal is to shutdown the airport, and they are getting more sophisticated in their tactics -- playing the long game.

In this case the airport is owned by the city and the proposed initiative was an amendment to the city charter so it would have effected the airport. Luckily they didn't get enough signatures to get on the November ballot, but I'm sure they'll try again.

You're lucky. Down here in the metro areas, there are a lot of people who buy a house next to an airport, decide they don't like the noise from the airport (which was there long before their house), and now are looking for ways to shutdown the airport. They find out the FAA grant money...

I've been watching some local anti-airport groups, and they've taken some new strategies to try to shutdown or curtail airport activities recently. I thought I'd pass them along here so others can be on the watch for them. On one local airport's noise roundtable, the chair of the group is...

I've never been in the restaurant business beyond a stint in fast food, but as a consumer I think marketing would be a challenge for an independent restaurant. All the chain places are bombarding consumers with ads on all platforms. We like non-chain restaurants, but we only eat out once a...

The S&P returned about 15% in 2020, so I thought it was a pretty good year. But you're correct that nothing is guaranteed. The worst return over 10 years on the S&P is negative 3% per year.

I don't think the OP is depreciating for tax purposes, I think he's trying to calculate the total out of pocket if he owns the aircraft for 10 years and then sells it. Any numbers would be a guess, since nobody can predict the used aircraft market in 10 years, but with 2200 hours on the engine...

Once a Cirrus pulls the chute, is the airframe totaled? Not necessarily in this case since there was damage prior to the chute deployment, but in general can the aircraft be repaired after a chute deployment?

Great, now that you have the uber-snow blower, we won't get any snow next winter. There goes my ski season and I just bought a season pass. :) Looks very nice.

Hold on -- question for you married guys, your wife lets you have some of the money??? I just get a small allowance.

I'm need a new leaf blower -- the impeller in my old electric one died last fall and for some reason nobody will sell a replacement (I'm guessing it was recalled or something). But I can't find a cordless leaf blower that is also a leaf vacuum. I really like the vacuum for picking up the...

Looks like the Cirrus may have been a rental at Independence Aviation -- not that it matters, but just information. https://flywithia.com/n416dj-details As an aside, I had no idea it cost that much to rent a Cirrus -- they have an SR22 for $440/hour dry! I guess I will stick to 172s and Cherokees.

That's awesome! I'm going to use that next time.

Your wife went to Walmart, got to the checkout and the cashier said we aren't taking cash today. Then your wife has to take out her phone and call you to find out what to do? While standing at the checkout? If I was behind her that would drive me nuts, but I'm impatient and hate standing in...

We've had a lot of catalytic converter thefts in Denver lately -- one woman had hers cut off her car while parked at the grocery store and they just arrested a guy with a stolen truck and it had 20 catalytic converters in the back. If mine gets stolen, I'll just run 100LL haha.

If the slab just settled some, can you have it mudjacked? It's a lot cheaper than new concrete so if settles again you're not out much for trying.

That's interesting -- I've never heard of that group before. With an unbiased wheel, there isn't a betting system to change the odds in roulette. In fact, every bet (except those involving the zeros) has the same house edge, about ~5%. So it doesn't matter if you bet a single number or...
