    Juneau Airport (rant)

    Flew out of Juneau today 8:30 am departure. 6:30 am I got stuck in long term parking lot because they have not cleared the lot of snow and ice, and I have a 4x4 truck. No one at airport could help me out. They said call a tow truck!!! Found a shovel and spent 1 hour trying to dig out, no luck...

    I'm in the same boat, I'm putting my Baby Beech Sport up for sale. Going to do a good annual this spring, hopefully fly a bit this summer and sell in the fall. I figure I have had a good run, owned it since 1996 flown it from coast to coast. With the loss of my wife in December 2022 and the...

    What are Roosters for

    If your tenants are raising the chickens as a hobby for pets, fine. But if the think they are going to offset the cost of eggs they are going to spend more money raising them than the eggs are worth.

    printer for home use
