    Cessna 560 Crashes

    Just my opinions based on the information that I have now. The Air Traffic Control (ATC) records will be extremely important especially if the aircraft did not have a Flight Data Recorder (FDR) and Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR). Back in the day when I filed flight plans if my route of flight...

    WTH? Received a W-9 form

    Steve, Someone with whom you have a relationship is requesting this information from you. I see it for my business tax clients who need to prepare and file certain tax documents (i.e. W-2 or 1099 NEC). However, notice in the upper right-hand corner that this form is not sent to the IRS...

    New Tires Needed? What Say You?

    New Tires Onomea, I agree with the post regarding a garage kept automobile. My 2004 Lexus LS 430 has been garage-kept from Day One. I drive it less than 2,500 miles/year. I don’t drive it when it rains or snows. It’s really hard on tires, too!!! Regarding the life of tires. More than one...

    New Tires Needed? What Say You?

    I am voting for a second opinion, and leaning towards replacing the tires. In todays times, six years is about the maximum recommended life, depending on the location, driving speeds, driving conditions, etc. Straight road driving is usually O K. While this does not stress the sidewall is...

    Tales From The Coffee Pot

    All of these posts have reminded me of the coffee maker and exotic coffee from the movie "The Bucket List" https://www.bing.com/th?id=OIP.MJjZJfShg4P666YRA2M7DgHaEK&w=164&h=100&c=8&rs=1&qlt=90&o=6&dpr=1.3&pid=3.1&rm=2 and the "kopi luwak" coffee, which although one of the main characters...

    Lab grown diamonds?

    Lab Grown Diamonds? I just checked with the resident expert in my home. It’s not me. However, the price for the 2 carat Mossanite home grown diamond is too high at $5000. She priced the ring at 3 jewelers and all were less than $2000. At two carats , the HGD does not compare in looks to her...

    Electronic lock safes

    Pete, Liberty makes a great gun safe, Made in America, lifetime warranty, great customer service! When I bought my Liberty safe I had the gun shop install a S&G combination lock. I've used S&G for many, many years going back to my Top Secret Crypto custodian days in the Marine Corps. Plus...

    What cleaner for nickel plate gun

    Hoppe also makes an "Elite" product line which I have been using for years. It was also recommended by S&W Customer Service and my gunsmith. It contains no ammonia and will not harm the nickel finish. It's available from Amazon, too. It comes in a pump bottle, which I have found works best...

    It broke my heart...

    I am in the same situation as your Mother. I have always bought top-of-the-line Michelin tires for our cars. My 2004 Lexus LS 430 has around 96,000 miles on it. Always garage kept, usually never driven in rain or snow. However, when the last set of Michelins only had about 25,000 miles on...

    Tornado hit Little Rock

    I think that this may also be a "Divine Intervention" situation. I've read Lt. Faulkner's posts for many years and I believe that for whatever reasons, he was sent to the Little Rock area to be there to assist those who need him the most. In these situations there are never enough "First...

    2022 Tax Return Information

    I just received this message from the IRS this morning. No matter who you select, be cognizant of the fact that IF that tax preparer is audited, you probably will be too. This actually happened for two of my new tax clients - What taxpayers should know when choosing a tax professional |...

    Shopping for auto insurance...

    I agree with the previous comments, while rates are important, equally or more important is the insurance company response when you have a claim. I call my insurance company every six months when my policy is renewed. My wife and I have perfect driving records - no tickets. No accidents. My...

    It finally Happened...

    I am surprised that this point has not been raised before now. Kudos to CalifEd!! In all of the situations already described, the basic premise still remains unresolved or corrected. Far too many of our young people do not have basic math skills and knowledge. Additionally, they are highly...

    PMC Bronze ammo-impressive..

    My LGS started me on PMC ammo back in 2011. I want to echo the above comments. Their "Bronze" line is outstanding ammo, reasonably priced (well, it was back in the day) and very consistently accurate at the range. I have cleaned out the bull's eye at 50' many times at the range using PMC...
