    What about Autism?

    My nine year old is considered moderate to severe on the spectrum. Huge speech delay and struggles socially. He may never fly for a living, but I have no doubt he could make a good sport pilot later in life, after he gets past his communication barriers. He already does well on MS simulator...

    So, if that's the kind of truck math we're doing nowadays, I guess that technically makes the ol' k2500 a 9.5' bed. If I got one those extender thingies.

    The world will end shortly…

    I have a 1988 Chevy k2500 that I will keep until I die because it has a true long bed. It's not a daily driver, just drive it a few times a month, when I need to do long bed things.

    And it has lots of locks, and the big chute marine railway.

    Well, I was talking about the great loop. Not many sailing opportunities while on it. It's mostly narrow, navigable channels, canals and rivers. You have to lower your mast prior to a bridge in Chicago that is 19ish feet high. Most people carry it on deck all the way down the Mississippi...

    Yep, it'll be Yuge. Yuge, I tell ya! Even in a small sailboat, that can get 6-7 mpg, that's nearly 1000 gallons in fuel. On more inefficient boats, it can be your largest expense. Takes deep pockets to do the loop fast.

    Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia

    I live on Buggs Island, not far from SML. A better lake, IMO, not nearly as crowded. I'm sure it is still as you describe, minus the smoking and a ton more development. Just like any other tourist town or area, the locals sometimes get aggravated by the issues that short-term visitors...

    I used to live on a 36' sailboat, sailed it around the Chesapeake Bay. I delivered boats to tropical islands, and up and down the east coast, for boaters with much more money. Took about two weeks to go from Virginia to St Maarten, never see land during that time. The Great Lakes are a great...

    DuPuis Family Cobra Build

    Being a biker, surely you have a cable luber? Where are those lower vents aimed? My Suburban had a vent you could aim right at your ballbag, and it was awesome. Nice, cool air blowing up your shorts in the summer is a luxury I wish more vehicles had.

    Stunning Video: Non-Cirrus Comes Down Under Chute

    It looked like the plane might have rolled onto its belly if that thing with "469" weren't in the way for it to lean on.

    Good lord, don't let them do the same thing with pipe and tubing materials. That's just dumb.

    Introduction from a gay pilot

    Welcome! FWIW, I would get in a cockpit with you any time, no matter who you like. But that's it, not gay here. And if it is a troll, it's a sick effing joke.

    You have to like the post, then it appears... a thumbs down with the word "unlike" replaces the like button. I do it so people know I don't like what they posted.

    Thinking About Kids Dirt Bikes

    This Chinese product probably has four hundred hours on it, at least. I know it's an ATV, but it's the same engine and electrics. Pic from last January before I put new plastics on it. For those looking at them, learn how to change the oil, and do it religiously. Learn how to change the...

    Thinking About Kids Dirt Bikes

    Oh, absolutely, there is no suspension. I, too, might have made different decisions if I had a pack of kids all going to be starting on the thing over the years. The pw50 I bought for $400. Ive nearly replaced everything on it. Handlebars, grips, Start/run switch, wheels and tires, exhaust...

    Thinking About Kids Dirt Bikes

    You made a great choice in the TTR, but I kinda feel the need to defend the Chinese 110cc engines. I'm on year 4 with 3 of them. Two i bought thoroughly used for $250 each, the third i bought new in a go-kart. They've all been pretty flawless. I've had to put a clutch in the most used one, $38...
