Very much appreciated. Thanks. I'm not going to ask why you know what blow looks like…Scarface I assume...

So just a job. At least I appreciate your honesty here. Wasn't there something around that paid better? You see, that's why I called soldiers hit men. Wasn't derogatory, it's just a job like any other, this is why I don't look down upon them but don't worship them either. I just cannot imagine dealing with bullets for what is it these days, $18K a year plus food stamps for private?

ISIS troops in Iraq and Syria, probably, yes. Majority of their fighters are not on suicide missions, they are just remnants of the Baath party using Islam for their own goals. The ones on guaranteed suicide missions are probably not in for the cash. I really do think they believe in their fucked up cause.

How, their entire society is setup to segregate the sexes. I'm sure does not apply to the elites, but what rules do anywhere in the world. Just like Juarez can be a fun place with the right crew, I am sure, so can Riyahd.

If it is, I would not want to be in the control group

caveat emptor: "quality of virgins may vary, subject to further restrictions"

It doesn't matter Scott what you or I see. You're in your 50's now. I'm in my 30's. We're both fairly content in our personal lives. Think back to when you were in your late teens and early 20s. You signed up for the Army, you were willing to kill and die for a cause, a cause you believed to be just. You still sound like man that would, if need, for a cause you believed to be just. This is a compliment, BTW. But I bet you in your 50's you're going to think long and hard if the cause is truly right. It's pretty easy to convince and mold a young mind into anything. Especially a restless young mind without any cause to exist that sees no hope in their situation. And what does the muslim word suffer from: lack of hope, lack of employment and lack of pussy. Don't forget pussy. It changes a man, softens him a bit. I am willing to bet most who blew themselves up for 72 virgins were most likely virgins themselves. Are you surprised that the most sexually repressed societies also produce the most radicals. I am not. I am in no way, shape or form excusing their behavior just stating the underlaying psychological conditions needed to radicalize young man are present whenever there is hopelessness, restlessness, unemployed and lack of access to satisfy basic human needs. These young kids are there for the taking. US Army does not spend majority of their recruiting budget on kids of parents in my income bracket either. We're not going to win this one with bombs alone. I mean we could, fairy easily, but it would make the atrocities of WWII look pale in comparison. And let me state for the record, I am unwilling to die for any causes and hopefully lucky enough not to ever have to test that theory.

Holder did something right. If this is the only good thing he accomplishes while in office, it was still worth having him there. This was a major, major issue on my radar. It stops federal government abuse and slows down the abuse at state level: Holder’s decision follows a Washington Post investigation published in September that found that police have made cash seizures worth almost $2.5 billion from motorists and others without search warrants or indictments since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. News of Holder’s decision stunned advocates who have for a long time unsuccessfully sought to reverse civil asset forfeiture laws, arguing that they undermine core American values, such as property rights and due process. http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/holder-ends-seized-asset-sharing-process-that-split-billions-with-local-state-police/2015/01/16/0e7ca058-99d4-11e4-bcfb-059ec7a93ddc_story.html No more indicting property without indicting owners and winning a conviction. Grassley praised Holder’s decision on Friday. Look Scott, something me and my Conservative Senator can agree on

Scott, John, Flyboy (what's your name), Byron, Anthony, You want make your blood boil, read this: Politicians wanted upfront cash from a legal victory over Big Tobacco, and bankers happily obliged. The price? A handful of states promised to repay $64 billion on just $3 billion advanced. http://www.propublica.org/article/how-wall-street-tobacco-deals-left-states-with-billions-in-toxic-debt

But it would not be right, if we didn't tr It's actually just about addiction. It does not do anything for you, as far as I can tell, now. You just need it to feel normal as long as you're addicted.

Quit about 2 years ago, about this time of the year. Best decision I've ever made. Gained a few lbs, but I feel so much better. Smoker from 16 to 33, worked myself up 2 packs a day by the time it was making me feel like complete shit daily. What made me quit? My extremities started going numb. It really sucks to wake up with numb arms. Guess what else is an extremity Loving this morning, it's going to be 50 today. Screw work, I'm taking the little shits for a walk around the lake, then I'm going to shoot some approaches and get current again.

Can you, my mechanic, who is generally pretty cool about lots of things, is not a fan of doing that claiming that since they cannot even be painted, epoxy is out of question. What is micro?

If I understood what's happening there at the treasury, I'd be typing this from my Gulfstream. We have a structural debt problem, on national, state and local level. Now that we're all being serious and it's no longer food stamps for all and let's totally get rid of the EPA, I am more than willing to admit that. What to do about, well, that's for another post. I do know if we hit deflation, we're in deep shit. Much deeper shit than inflation. I'm tired and I want to go fly tomorrow morning. I'll let little Timmy rest for a few days. Good night and good morning to you all.

$400 each? Aerospace logic is around a grand for the combo gauge and like I said, I am very please with it. It did not take very long to install. http://www.aerospacelogic.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=74

I guess I'll drag my ass out tomorrow, take the plane for a spin and then take off the antenna and look up the part number. I guess I better bring a ladder.

Scott/John, Also, what do we do with the 49 million people on food stamps and other programs currently? Many of them work full time but obviously, at minimum wage, are not able to fully make ends meet. $8 an hour is 320 a week, before any taxes or health insurance deductions. I've blown more on a single bar tab. Shit I've blown more on a single dinner than some of these people make in a month. This is not bragging, this is demonstrating disparity in income. Or do we do nothing and let chips fall where they may...

What do you mean by tax reform.

Looks like it. I wanted to order one before taking the old one off. Getting ready to sell the Bravo and don't want any squawks to deal with at sale.

Thanks, seriously, that's what I wanted to understand...

I'm very, very happy with my Aerospace Logic combination MP/RPM gauge. Also, I see that Insight Avionics is in a process of releasing a combo gauge called GX-MXT.

Cool, we found one. Let's keep on digging.

Does anyone know the part number for the blade VOR/LOC antennas on vertical tail for a steam gauge Mooney Bravo. Mine appears to be cracked...

John, Help us along. Single national conservative idea that turned out of be right? Anyone, anyone? It's apparently a unicorn...

I've got a better question for Scott. If tea party was to take over both houses and the white house, what do you think you will gain personally. Because I have never heard you be for something, only against. Is balanced budget all you want?
