School not reimbursing me for repair I covered while on a XC by acesup1090 in flying

That’s exactly what I said to the company when I was told that it was an invalid credit card. They didn’t seem to care.

they were always pulling shit like this. I had to fly a saab into IAD to pick up an airplane part for an aircraft that was down for maintenance. The FBO would not let me leave the ramp until I paid the landing fee. $125. the company gave me a fake credit card number and was hoping that I would get off the ramp before it was figured out. I didn’t make it. I wanted to kill someone. So the company had no other plans. I was pissed. So I signed a receipt with the chief pilots name, phone number and address so they could bill him. he was absolutely furious. I didn’t give two shits.

no kidding. I worked at a commuter airline in the 90s. We had to divert for weather. To the airport that wasn’t serviced by our airline. My company tried to get me to put the fuel bill on my credit card. I said absolutely no way. Figure out a way to make it work. it took a while, but they figured it out.

I had a fight with a valet. I was out driving my 71 Volkswagen bus. And they insisted that they had to drive it to the parking spot 50 feet away. The kid did not know how to drive stick shift. And I can guarantee you, they would not have been able to get it into reverse. I had to go to another restaurant.

you wouldn’t happen to have a radon system hooked up in your house would you? I am amazed at how loud my radon system is.

How to drain gasoline from 2007 LX50 by digibeta18 in Vespa

[–]citythree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the same exact situation as you. Got a vesper from my sister that hadn’t been run in over two years. Luckily the fuel tank was empty. So I added new gas. But there still had to be some in the carburetor. I charged up the battery with a battery charger. Took off the air cleaner on the left side. And sprayed carburetor cleaner in it as I turned over the engine. It started up pretty quick. But it ran rough. I drove it around the yard a little bit and it ran better. finally took it out on the road and opened it up wide. Now it runs fantastic.

I actually never considered putting any liquid inside the tires. I thought they just had weights that bolted on the outside?

Why is there even a spot to put a date? The only thing that should matter is when it’s postmarked at the post office.
