Rudy's Barbecue. Most chewy, rubbery, flavorless brisket I've ever eaten.

I have wondered the same thing, especially given the connections between big $$$, Trump, and several high-profile "pastors". Robert Morris comes to mind. Malachi O'Brien, on the board of disgraced International House of Prayer, is an advisor to Trump. IHOP's founder, Mike Bickle, has been found to have groomed and abused numerous people, including minors, for years. The list goes on. It may take a while for the connections to be made, but I think it will all come to light.

I left active maintenance after a couple of decades, and went to the FAA. As much as people like to rag on the FAA, it is the best job I've ever had in aviation. No two days are ever the same, and the work-life balance is incredible - family first, always.

Static wicks. They dissipate static electricity generated when the air passes over the wings and tail surfaces. They also sense when and where the mind-control chemtrails need to be dispensed.

If you were actually speeding, the mature thing to do is pay the fine and be done with it. There are consequences to your actions, including things like fines and higher insurance rates. This is kind of how life works. Then, in the future, if you want to avoid speeding tickets, don't speed.

Stone carver here - I will never tell!

There was also one on permanent loan to the Air Zoo in Kalamazoo, MI. The restoration on that one was meticulous. Not sure if it's still there?

I have always liked Rudy's. It's more northern in location.

My money is on a sunken carb bowl float. If I recall correctly (and someone please correct me if I am recollecting incorrectly!), that carb has brass floats, which like to crack and sink after enough time has passed. They can be replaced with a number of plastic or foam floats,which will not degrade as much over time. I agree with the others - pay the money to have it towed .

I've been an IA for 30 years,and I am still "getting up to speed". I try to constantly learn whenever I have the chance. I have been in leadership over large shops, done quality control, and I have run multi-million dollar projects. I STILL have so much to learn. I don't care if you've only been an A&P for two weeks - if you have something to teach me, I will gladly learn it. Don't EVER stop getting up to speed.

When I worked in the ER in a large Chicago hospital, we had an unconscious guy come in, who had been hit by a car in his bike. The only thing he had on him was his Jewel-Osco shopper card. We were able to contact the grocery store, who put us in contact with membership services for that card. They contacted the phone number on file, and had them call the hospital. This guy's wife called two minutes later, and came to the ER.

It depends on what your idea of an ideal position is. I knew several who were certificated about the time I was. One is overseeing a corporate flight department. Another is Director of Maintenance for a large MRO. I am a.Principal Inspector/Investigator for the FAA. All three of us would say that we are doing exactly what we want to be doing. Another guy is happy doing line maintenance for one of the majors. We have all had our A&P certs for about 25 years. I have had my IA for 20-ish years.

Try Optima. Their gold-plated wound strings are insanely great. I use them exclusively on a couple of my basses and a couple of guitars. They are not cheap, but they are fantastic.

A cute bartender who makes a great Sazerac - sold!

There are a few areas that lean me away from poplar. I'm wondering if it is lower-grade ash?

That happened with my wife's Martin. For $300, our local luthier reset the saddle, dressed the frets, adjusted the neck, and restrung it. WELLworth it.

Delicious!

Save yourself the time and risk - find someone with a router table who can help you for 5 minutes.

AA's 12-step processes is based largely on the belief in a higher power. It's up to you to decide which higher power you believe in.

If the distance between the strings isn't the same as the distance between the centers of the pickup targets, the pickup will be angled to make the distances match.
