    At which Class B airports have you landed?

    You mean MCI instead of MKC? That's my one and only (although MKC is a lot more fun). Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk

    Challenger go with throttle up.

    It was two days after I enjoyed the Bears mauling the Patriots in Super Bowl XX and I was home from school in Atlanta due to an "ice day". :sad: Last year I had a management training class where we discussed the roles of the various players in the go / no-go decision: NASA, Morton Thiokol...

    can you beat 2.99?

    But it's the BOOT HEEL! (a.k.a., the part of Missouri that you could cut off and give to Arkansas, raising the collective IQ of both states) :D Other than TKX, my only experience in Dunklin County was when I worked for the state courts administrator office and was on location in Kennett for...

    Storing passwords

    For personal stuff, I have a truecrypt container with individual text files with each website and user/pass. I put the truecrypt container in dropbox. But that's mainly for my wife in case I get hit by a bus; I have most of them memorized and they don't have to change often. For work, I...

    Magicjack Sale

    LOL, yes, you can plug a regular phone into it. I have an OBI and ran the output into a phone jack (disconnected the telco service from outside) and used the house POTS wiring. I can plug in a phone anywhere in the house and use the VOIP service.

    EAA Giving Away Memberships?

    Ah, yes, I didn't read that message from IMC in full before I deleted it. Of course, I think my IMC Club membership expired in March. :dunno:

    EAA Giving Away Memberships?

    Read, Dummy! (was: EAA Giving Away Memberships?) Got a couple of strange emails this morning welcoming me to EAA and an invoice for $0.00 showing my membership and subscription to Sport Aviation. I used to be a member years ago but haven't been in almost 10 years. The membership number...

    Clue the board game

    Many, many times. And Lesley Ann Warren as Miss Scarlet in the movie fueled my adolescent fantasies for a good length of time.

    Tax Shelters

    Hedge funds or foreign real estate investment partnerships. But make sure you hold your investment through a foreign shell corporation in a no-tax jurisdiction and layer your ownership through a series of nominee entities also domiciled in no-tax jurisdictions. Claim none of the income on your...

    Will a Solid State Hard Drive Change My Life?

    Wipe the drive and put Xubuntu or Linux Mint on it and let the kids run it into the ground. You can get 2-3 more years use out if it.

    [NA]phone via internet[NA]

    Just moved into a new place, got an ObiHai 200, connected it to the house's existing landline (after disconnecting the telco wire from the NID) and linked our two Google Voice numbers to it. Easy peasy, as long as you don't need 911 service on the land line (which can be had for an additional...

    Atlanta area hangar search/question

    You're going to have to look far more suburban in Atlanta, probably exurban; its sprawling metro area means space in most GA airports closer to the city is tight and going to cater to the corporate stuff. Places like Monroe, Covington, Winder, Cherokee Co., Cartersville, etc. would be more in...
