I look at of road machines and wonder if the side stand can be replaced by a folding ladder.

When we bought our present house the rates were 13% but soared to 22% but came down to 12.5% at renewal. When I bought my shop IIRC the rates were around 10%. We worked our arses off to pay down the principles. Next on the worrywart list, read up on hyper inflation. Of course that could never...

A thousand dollars is bout $60 hours on minimum wage per month. You won't have any free weekends but you'll keep the house. Of course taxes will affect the numbers unless there is a mercy clause somewhere in the CRA. Haha. The taxes may be covered by you not having any time to spend any money...

I had an aunt that sometimes waited at a restaurant and sometimes as a care worker for old people. Her daughter preferred her working at the restaurant because her outlook on life was better.

Agreed, the old MAPP had a lot more heat than the new. I've used propane torches on anything they fit. I'm not sure of the reason for the change MAP-pro is a fuel gas composed of only propylene and propane. Therefore, the key difference between MAPP gas and MAP-pro gas is that MAPP gas is...

Disney in Orlando owns the lake but can’t stop you from landing your amphibian. However they can stop you from taking off so you call your mechanic to disassemble your plane and cart it away

My sister from New Zealand says their prices are twice ours. FWIW

Thirty three charges, yet to be proven but the odds aren't in his favour. Due to some family issues I've delved into the misty world of psychology. We're learning more about behavior and spending more on the problems. And the problems keep growing. So what is the real problem? The knee jerk...

From your initial post "About 50% of men between the ages of 51 and 60 have BPH, and that number jumps to 70% among men aged 60 to 69 and around 80% of men over 70 years of age." BPH = enlarged prostate. From my wife: Men never seem to talk about their plumbing. Women never stop."...

Someone booked a C-172 out of Brampton for a couple of days to go south. Only being VFR rated they ran into IFR conditions and had to land somewhere along the Blue Ridge to sit it out. The Wx report said a long wait so they bussed home, paid an IFR commercial pilot to go get the plane rather...

I used my aircraft licence when I was boating. I'm not sure what the difference was.

Since it's a country and sets its own budgets it sets its wealth tax rules. Nice.

I use a small compressor, a small spot gun from PA and sifted beach sand to do small cast iron parts. It makes a mess not having a booth or cabinet. Lung, eye and skin protection definitely needed. For larger item it would be a PITA. I'd guess at least an hour per square foot, What's your time...

Chimps, several cases.

Three uncles went over, two came back. The one that was a mechanic had some funny stories. He had a dozen German soldiers try to surrender to him but he was where he shouldn't have been, collecting souvenirs (AKA looting) . He told them to surrender to someone else. A German soldier I met...

Fifteen pounds with sharp teeth. Nooo problem.

Airplanes are expensive things that take you to expensive places to visit. When the motor isn't running they are of no interest to anyone that isn't wearing a propeller beanie. Boats are expensive things that can take you to free anchorages where you can enjoy the scenery from less than...

Renting is crazy expensive unless you just do circuits and local scenics. Experimental is a cheaper way to own but has limitations. Used older planes are the main alternate choice. A new 172 is around a half a million. Having your own plane is a treat for the pilot but not necessarily the...

A novice captain running a bow rider on a big lake is asking for a disaster, especially when a couple of chubbies want the bow seats. I’ve seen them going along with half the propeller out of the water.

The insurance will likely be a complex shared arrangement as few companies want that much exposure. Settlement discussions will look like a legal convention and take years. As for the amount, IIRC the McDonald's coffee event settled for about 1% of the original judgement.
