Thanks for another excellent article, Eric. Two of our neigbors have been broken into in the last few years by thieves kicking down their front doors in broad daylight. We did a big remodel so I got ANSI grade 2 deadbolts for both solid core doors and then we lagged 1/4” steel flat bar into the door frame and added a…

I bought a 1971 VW bus project from a buddy. It had a mid-mounted 327 chevy engine and a modified plymouth rear end and beefed up suspension. He gave up on it because he couldn’t get it to cool so I saw a challenge. It looked totally stock from the outside and I wanted to keep that look so I hid an air scoop…

I think you are absolutely correct.

Thanks for another informative article, Tyler. I mistakenly thought the Glock 17 had been in use with the SEALS for years. btw; one other big feature of the Glocks is that they are dead-simple to field strip. Even I can do it in seconds.

People may live there, but I’ll bet they don’t have cable.

A Credit Union is the only way to go. Our local bank of 22 years was bought out by one of the too-big-to fail banks we bailed out and, after reassuring us nothing would change, they cut our credit line in half right in the middle of a big home remodel we were doing. At the suggestion of an accountant, we immediately…

plus 1,350 rounds of 30mm cannon ammo.

thanks for the most erudite post of the year.

I’ll see the F35 and raise you the best CAS airplane in the world. For a WHOLE lot less money.

sorry, you beat me to it. I posted about Kroil too. amazing stuff.

Take if from a guy who has worked on his share of rusty tugboats & equipment for decades: Aerokroil is the magic penetrant oil.

Thanks for another great article and pics, Tyler. I love the Ants and get to see A 124 that regularly flies into Paine Field (KPAE) delivering parts for Boeing. When you see it next to a 747 is when you can get an idea of how truly massive it is. A long time ago, early 80’s if memory serves, I was flying low past the…

That is a great patch. I saw another good one at an airshow that said, ‘A MiG at your Six is better than no MiG at all.’

thanks Alan! this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. great app.

Even if you empty the tank there is still gas in the carburetor. I fill mine with gas mixed with a stabilizer called Sea Foam. I’ve never had a problem starting it in the spring.

thanks for another excellent article, Tyler. I’m a firm believer in simplicity and effectiveness when it comes to any military aircraft. The S-3 is a perfect example (like the A-10) that high tech/stealth doesn’t always carry the day and is, in fact inferior. (F-35 v F-16 in a dogfight for example) Plus, it just looks…

The Widgeon has always been one of my favorite amphibians. My Dad got his multi-engine seaplane rating in one from the old barnstormer, Lana Kurtzer in Seattle. He told me the Ranger engines were underpowered and unreliable and the airplane couldn’t climb on one engine. He discovered this the hard way when the right…

I saw this at Abbotsford on Saturday. Pure awesomeness! Valhalla looks like a toy compared in size to the F-22.

Mightytext for SMS from a PC. I use it every day all day. Works great. Also, Lightshot is a neat little screenshot tool.

LOL - This reminded me of a Dave Barry article on ‘how to win arguments’
