I've had the back-plane on a 3 phase panel do this same thing -- a breaker which failed to seat properly just sat there making more heat, more resistance, etc. until a catastrophic meltdown occurred, just like these pictures. The root cause was the loose breaker; nothing more. I now try to...

For those of you with commercial/industrial operations, are there any good options beyond the omnipresent TYCO/ADT that might be viable, less costly, more user friendly alternatives? I'm in SC if that matters. THANKS!

Interesting that some folks have identify theft problems; while I doubt I'm alone at age 58 in saying I've never had mine stolen. I just wonder if there are certain types of financial dealings that make one more prone to identity theft than others?

Get a tome of Dilbert cartoons, and read EVERY ONE OF THEM because THEY ARE ALL TRUE. I finally escaped engineering after experiencing sufficient doses of Dilbertism to where I just couldn't take it anymore. My condolences to your newly minted ME. Remember, engineers that flunk out go into...

Same thing I've always thought about this; before even reading the thread. I feel like if I want to spend maybe 200 days a year on the road, and I shop smart for my motels, mingle in some occasional tent camping, I can end up about money neutral, and leave the problems to someone else. I think...

EXACTLY! There absolutely were no peanut allergies in the 60's and likely the 70's, never heard of ADHD, etc, and I'll add that the word "retarded" was regularly used and the retarded kids were segregated into their own classes and not forced to screw up the classes for the rest of us. I'm...

I want to add a bit more to my own post to make my position about the sweepstakes clear -- some years ago, I actually read the rules about the winner selection, and the "independent company" used to select the winner was clearly stated to have some freedom and nothing about the write-up...

I quit AOPA after being a member for 36 years primarily because of this latest dues increase. What incensed me, and I know I'll get flamed for failing to carefully read all their junk mail, was that I would have taken a "lifetime" membership when it came out, which I'm told by them was sometime...

This was an interesting thread that I just read from end-to-end. Relative to the few comments about maintenance, particularly the angst about needing an A&P/IA for relatively simple certificated aircraft, in contrast to homebuilts, experimentals, etc. which may be entirely supported by their...

And eat your broccoli!!! :rolleyes:

Interesting thread that at least from my aircraft ownership perspective, mostly misses the big point (except MIFlyer above!). The reason I setup a Delaware S-Corp for owning my aircraft was simply to escape sales tax in my home state. This was about 20 years ago, and I sold the plane in 2000...
