At the lake for the holidays, and this morning heard the sound of a couple of airplanes diving on the house. Went out on the deck and saw a couple of monoplanes practicing some formation aerobatics, mostly loops and turns, one lime green and the other bright red; look to be a couple of Extras...

http://www.arkansasbusiness.com/article/103513/wal-mart-fighting-proposal-on-firearms?page=1 This looks to be a new tactic by the anti gun movement, or at least one I'm not familiar with. Not sure of the wisdom of beginning the movement with a hardened target like WM, but here it is.

Vehicle: 2009 Pontiac Torrent GXP aprox 66K miles Battery: OEM AC/Delco Group 47 7 yr warranty A couple of days ago, at the second house, the battery lacked sufficient power to start the car. I talked my wife through opening the battery box and getting a charger on the battery, and after less...

And if so, how much of a premium would you be willing to pay?

A significant, seasonal, amusement (water) park is going to be built across the street from a piece of property I have. I thought I might try to take advantage of their marketing and advertising dollars and try to poach some of their customers, specifically Dad, who might take an hour or two to...

For my wife's Torrent GXP. Although this is the model with sporting aspirations, this particular vehicle is primarily a highway cruiser. It's principal task is hauling the dogs and baby back and forth between our two homes. It went 48,000 miles on the OEM Goodyear Eagles, probably 40,000 of...

that covers the period 1993 to 2011 and has been in the news the last few days can be found here: http://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=4616 The timing of the release of this report looks suspect to me, to put it mildly.

Beginning last Summer and continuing over the winter, my '99 S-10 lost its refrigerant charge. I've had the vehicle since new, it's got 52k miles, and the system has never been opened, or even charged, since new. I expected the compressor was shot after fourteen years, but, I had some free...

We just had our third child ( previous two children are grown, with children of their own ), and I saw a commercial on television this morning for term life insurance that made me pause to consider this. I'm 53 in excellent health, and have two homes paid for. My debt, business and personal...

My 2008 G8 has been out of a warranty for about a year now, the little Solstice ran out of warranty in June, and the Torrent GXP will run out sometime this month, maybe it has already. The G8 has about 33,000 miles on it and had one warranty issue: a chirpy idler pulley for the serpentine belt...

I fractured my heel, a week less a day ago, in the usual manner - a vertical drop and then rolled the ankle, causing an extra articular fracture of the heel, and an intra articular fracture of the talus - calcaneus joint, that did not displace, the x rays show it's still in alignment. Anyone...

I'm renovating another building and some of the kids working didn't have enough tools, so I went to Harbor Freight and bought one of their belt sanders, a heavy duty drill (has the second handle for two handed force) and their version of a sawz all, and so far, in a month of service, no one has...

I'm thinking of buying some, or alternatively, building some on land I already own. Anyone know the gross rental multiplier for buying / selling mini storage units? This would be for non climate controlled units.

Saw it in today's Arkansas Business. Hawker Beechcraft, which has a pretty big facility at the Little Rock airport, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, with debt of at least $2.5B, and $2.4B in revenue last year. One of my grand goals in life was to buy a new Bonanza, but they quit making the V35...

As the title says, these have shown up at the local Academy Sports, and I'm thinking of getting one. I have no real need or use for the gun, but I've been sorta wanting a 45 auto revolver, and this loads 45 Auto in addition to the usual 45 Long Colt, and 410 Shotgun shells. I'm not sure how...

Considering upgrading my cellular phone. Presently I have an HTC Tilt, which I like a lot, but it is getting long in the tooth. The Atrix looks good, but I'm not sure if Android is business friendly. I'm a strictly business user, need to keep my outlook schedule, contacts, etc., on the phone...

Our local Farm Store chain (Atwood's) is selling 5 qt jugs of Syngard 5w/30 for $9.99. http://www.crossoil.com/syngard_passenger_car_oils.php also: http://www.crossoil.com/news_u.php Looks to be packaged in Smackover, Arkansas, so it's a local oil, like Mystik used to be.

Like what the EPA did for gasoline? I can't imagine how allowing states to set emission limits will work any bettter. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28846202 I am glad I just bought a new car; I may buy a new SUV just to make sure I can drive what I want, rather than what some bureacrat wants me...

We had baseball sized hail overnight driven by seventy plus mile per hour winds, torrential flooding rains, and a few tornados for extra fun. All this on top of the torrential flooding rains of the last few weeks. Lots of people with severely damaged homes, lots of destroyed cars, just a big...
