    Safety sucks

    We walked the tracks into town all the time. One day we were at the switch as the train was switching to the track that took it north towards our homes that was maybe 10 miles away. We stuck our thumps out. Some dude sticks his head out of the locomotive pulling this train. He had a camera...

    Need advice from CFI's on how to deal with a fearful student

    When I started flying it scared the bageezsers out of me. I had my cfi tell me I could put my hands on my lap, he was worried I was messing with the throttle that was off to my side. I told him I had a death grip on the seat and was not letting go. On the way to training in the car, it was all I...

    Safety sucks

    We would fill the back of a couple trucks with friends, then ride around town shooting bottle rockets at each other. We would stand next to our parents as we drove down the road most of the time driving as mom and dad watched from the drivers seat. On long road trips we would ride in the back...

    How big of a deal is hail damage?

    I watched a man take a car with hail damage. He parked it in the sun on a very hot day of around 100 degree's. He then took some dry ice and went over every spot with this dry ice and they all popped out.

    Flu shot? shingles

    I had shingles at age 43. I never want that again. 14 years later I still have numbness in the area I had this. But I had a really bad case.

    Handheld Radios

    I use the I-com A6. I have heard traffic as far away as 100 miles. I do not use the little antenna that came with it. I use an antenna that is longer then the little rubber ducky style that came on this radio, I purchased this antenna off e-bay. This antenna is mounted to a window inside the...

    Get your tailwheel ticket.

    Not all fly the same. I flew an airplane that the nose wheel would turn when pushing on the rudder. This caused the nose of the airplane to be pushed around by this. I then flew this same airplane as a tail wheel or converted to a tail wheel. It flew much better as a tail wheel not having the...

    Get your tailwheel ticket.

    Not in all airplanes. Look at this pic looking out the windscreen while sitting on the ground in this tail wheel airplane.

    Would you include this woman?

    Where were you on 9/11? You must have forgot about a couple buildings in a town we call New York City. I for one will never forget. Tony

    One big class action lawsuit coming up:

    This buddy I speak off had to do a little time behind bars " DUI". He asked if I would take his guns while locked up and keep them safe. I said sure. I had no idea what I was getting into. He had around 20 rifles of all different kinds. It took two trips in my truck to haul all his weapons and...

    One big class action lawsuit coming up:

    I was up in the mountains of Colorado one day at a buddies place. This truck shows up. The dude gets out holding one of these. He then starts spraying bullets everywhere. He had a bag that caught all the casings. ****ed off some people too. This was almost 20 years ago now. My how time flies...

    One big class action lawsuit coming up:

    Kinda my point. Security can not watch every monitor, and how many do you suppose watch those monitors? I am sure not only one person. But for some reason this man had super human skills and could look out a window and watch that monitor and not miss nothing. I don't buy that. Tony

    Plane before licence?

    There is a local teen who wanted to get his PP a couple years ago. He purchased a 172 before taking his training. He did this to save money. He was lucky and the man who sold him the airplane financed it for him. This was maybe three years ago. Today this young man is a PP. He works hard to save...

    One big class action lawsuit coming up:

    With all the camera's they are claiming this place has, no one saw this man hiding camera's in the hall way? If this was not an inside job, security at this place sucked. I really doubt the security at this place was that bad or sucked so it must be something else. IMHO this man was a scapegoat...
