This is something that has puzzled me for a while... I (a private pilot) work in the pleasure marine industry and have noticed that almost anyone who wants to own a boat does own a boat. Now, some boats are indeed pretty cheap, but a $20,000 boat is fairly common (approx cost of a 150?). Here in...

It's been too damned cold here to change my oil, so we took the plane over to our A&P's heated hangar this morning to have it done. He offered to let us do the work inside, if all we wanted was to borrow his heated hangar -- a kind offer that Mary wanted NOTHING to do with! So, we left him to his...
