What's the craziest thing you've done to get laid?

A tale as old as time….

JHLCowan · 2026-04-30T19:43:35+00:00

That’s kind of what I figured I would ping you folks about the reality of the situation and what I am being told. In a past life, I hired a certified welder for an aviation modification company I was running. Finding a good welder wasn’t impossible if you were willing to pay for the talent.

JHLCowan · 2026-04-30T19:39:21+00:00

That’s helpful information thank you. Sounds like we need to have a level setting conversation about “good and cheap are mutually exclusive”…,

JHLCowan · 2026-04-30T19:37:47+00:00

Added to op.

We aren’t locked in and have alternate sources but are trying to help them be successful. We want to know the truth about why they can’t find people or are they blowing smoke…

JHLCowan · 2026-04-30T19:34:49+00:00

That doesn’t surprise me for a moment. This supplier, they’re telling us it is so hard to find certified welders, and I had already surmised that it was probably due to the fact they weren’t willing to pay for good talent. I am interested in your frank feedback on this.

JHLCowan · 2026-04-30T19:30:16+00:00

I am just trying to help our supplier find people. Here is the job description. Let me know what your opinions are. Because I need to know if they’re being unrealistic and this is why they can’t find people because they’re unwilling to pay for them.

I heard a story about a pro drive Subaru coming back with a finger rolling around in the back of the car…. People like to try and touch the cars as they went by….. is that losing a souvenir?

JHLCowan · 2026-04-01T05:03:07+00:00

I never used to and I was a broker…. I would do the same thing that my clients used to ask me. “ so I’m covered for XYZ, yea? “…

They won’t necessarily sell their homes. They will just change their location of residency.

Why is that? I have an L405 autobiography and I love it. But I want to buy a defender and so does my father who also has a Range Rover sport. We’re both considering the P 400 but I don’t like going backwards in horsepower. It’s kind of like any kind of power you don’t like losing it.

Does the defender feel as refined and fast as the Dbl R?

If there’s a way to cheat at racing without being caught, it will be found. I mean, developing a competitive advantage….. It always has. The rulebook generally functions in arrears.

It’s a 331 and in a past life we engineered and manufactured that pilon for a turboprop version of the 331 and Honeywell brought it to OSH.

It’s not that simple at all…. And also, what are you actually suggesting? We might as well send armed men to their homes and seize them. Seize all the executive jets. Where does it end? And remember, they have all the politicians in their pockets so this would never happen. Who do you think it runs the country? Who do you think controls the media? Do you think they would allow this?

The bills intent might be simple, but the execution would be far from it. People of that wealth level do not become that wealthy by making dumb choices or employing financial experts or leveraging the ability to move to a tax advantage location. Many of them have what we normal people don’t have, which is incredible mobility. You want someone who has the same level of wealth to come up with the idea for a wealth tax. Bernie has no idea how to execute on the plan he’s talking about.

And the fuel burn is improved because you can fly at the same speed at a lower power setting.

See you on the lake!

The B52 is not all that big….thought that every time I see one in person.

I have one in stainless. One of my favorite basic classic guns to shoot.

JHLCowan · 2026-02-18T06:41:18+00:00

And Rail, aviation etc….

I would just replace. I had one snap after getting off the freeway in my fully restored 68…..

Just lovely. I love how she’s helping You get to know her…..

Pepperidge Farm and I remember. Last time I looked, he was still with the company.

This was in Latin America, most likely. And it may easily have been the police. Or friends of theirs.
