Hank Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 Please forgive my ignorance but who is Peter Garmin any connection to the infamous Garmin GPS He is a pilot here named Peter, who has 110+% confidence in everything that Garmin says, does or thinks about doing. Also has the same confidence in all other Big Names, and lambasts all competing companies and ideas as "clearly inferior." Highly opinionated in writing, with a Take No Prisoners and Accept No Mistakes philosophy. Read a few threads here, you'll spot him. Especially easy to do on the Avionics forum or accident posts.

rbridges Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 I will donate $1 for every pound of girlfriend that Marauder manages to bring down to the meeting. 3 Quote
Hank Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 I'll even bring a check for missing the first two Summits, even though both were due to work being crazy (two different jobs, too!). Quote

rubixcube2k3 Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Posted July 19, 2015 Oh dear lord! Marauder (even as the president of the CB club) has been placed on registration restriction until I confirm that he intends only to bring bikini beach body ready models to PCB. 1 Quote

fantom Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 He is a pilot here named Peter....... who lambasts all competing companies and ideas as "clearly inferior." Highly opinionated in writing, with a Take No Prisoners and Accept No Mistakes philosophy. . Also, pedantically demanding of facts that he is neither qualified to pass judgment on nor willing to offer himself in support of his opinions. Recent tendency to post broad, one line, question without any background data or subsequent input. He may be particularly aggravated due to Garmin stock dropping almost 40% over the past six months. I may have to up my donation offer, Mike. 1 Quote
mike_elliott Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 I will donate $1 for every pound of girlfriend that Marauder manages to bring down to the meeting. Not gonna happen.....we don't have enough donations yet to feed one of them. 1 Quote

He is entitled to his thoughts, and like political forums, no one here is going to change anyone's mind. He knows he cannot influence the thought trains here, just as we know we cannot change his entrenched beliefs. I have been guilty of this. Gary, while I appreciate your willingness to make a donation based on PTK's actions, I would prefer personally if it came from your kindness and compassion, of which I know when it comes it really will be from. /Sunday soapbox off 2 Quote

The funny thing is that I have met Peter Garmin in person a few times. He actually is very open and nice and willing to share his knowledge... (Just don't start talking about Garmin, CamGuard, where to buy an airplane, the weather). And just for the record Peter, after next week I will officially have more Garmin stuff in my plane than you do! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote

(Just don't start talking about Garmin, CamGuard, where to buy an airplane, the weather)..... Classic case of a height challenged fellow venting his passive aggression on an internet forum. In addition to my aforementioned 'compassionate' contribution, if the notoriously frugal Dr. Pain actually shows up, I will match whatever he contributes. Quote
jkhirsch Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Well gee whiz, sure am glad I missed the thread last week and the opportunity to register. I guess wait listed is as good as she gets... Quote
rbridges Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 Just saw this today. Looks like the standby list for us ... Still enjoying the KT74 and 430W? Quote
mike_elliott Posted July 20, 2015 Report Posted July 20, 2015 I don't know where you guys fall on the wait list, but there is a better than even chance a few cancellations will occur. Unfortunately, we have to have limits because of physical space. Quote

Probably could have squeezed it in but saw that it was filled by the time I went to register. As far as the Mason-Dixon Line crossing; no problem at all. In fact I can walk to it, no need to fly.

Mooneymite Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 For those of you heading to ECP who might be considering going into the ocean instead of the Summit program, here's a bit of advice for you: 1 Quote
Hank Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 Thanks, Gus. So glad to know that you're looking out for us. "When an animal comes in my house, it goes on the plate. When you go in the ocean, you in the shark s house." I hope to have some time to visit the shark's house while we are there. You? Quote
Mooneymite Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 I hope to have some time to visit the shark's house while we are there. You? After that advice? No way! Just the beach. Quote
Hank Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 After that advice? I need to invite some chickens and pigs into my house! Quote

She would make for a great flotation device. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
