A Question for the Pilots of the Lounge
That is a gorgeous plane, and I deeply envy your Garmin 430. I got to play with one in a rented 172 one time and very much enjoyed it. Mine is rather less spectacular: Here she is with another lady in red who has captivated my attention; fortunately they don't seem to be jealous of one...- Copper

A Question for the Pilots of the Lounge
You've got me thinking now about Astral Navigation; I am going to have to find my old edition (I know I kept them somewhere...) and reread the section. I remember being fascinated at learning it as it was so obviously dated and unworkable in the sort of flying that I was doing. Even though I...- Copper

A Question for the Pilots of the Lounge
Canada's universal Private Pilot flying text is called From the Ground Up. Although my most current edition has dropped the Astral Navigation section, it was still included in my edition from around 1986 (when I was still too young to fly but desperate to learn), and my 1991 edition, when I...- Copper

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
I am hoping that it comes together; it should work out barring a significant political destabilzation or natural disaster. What's the chance of that though, given that bits of Kashmir is controlled by India, Pakistan and China, all nuclear powers with a stellar track record of getting along...- Copper

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
This Fall I am going to be going on a bit of an adventure of a lifetime, and I have been working through the 'kit' questions as discussed above recently. I too am of the opinion that safety is paramount and style is secondary or even tertiary behind non-safety related comfort. Nevertheless, I...- Copper

Tailor in Delhi
This fall will see me off on a month long adventure through India, motorcycling 2000 miles/3000 km on a 500cc Enfield up through the highest roads of the world in Kashmir before heading back to Delhi. I'd love to have a couple suits and shirts started when I arrive so that I can pick them up... -

What are you wearing today??
I would have to guess that many of them found exactly what they were looking for, but perhaps not by way of groceries... :)- Copper

Why I enjoy the atmosphere here.....
Wholeheartedly agree. There are few places on the interweb where one can get away from petty bickering, have conversations and learn from each other. Though members come from around the world, have wildly differing opinions on politics and religion, cherished common ground and manners come...- Copper

The Adventurer's Gear Thread
I wear a shemagh -also British Army Issue- under my Belstaff Trialmaster when riding in cool weather. Not wrapped around my head as in the photo mind you, just around the neck. It is fantastic at keeping the draft out without getting too warm. I'll be donning it for the morning commute in...- Copper

Adventure! Fedora Lounge Folks in Action!
At the wheel of a Landy 110 in the Western Sahara near Ait Benhaddou, Morocco, wearing a Berber headscarf. A few years ago now, though. Great trip.- Copper

Funeral arrangements
Loved that book - 'Spook' and 'Bonk' by Mary Roach were great too. Having gained a familiarity with death over the years, I have little interest in the manner of disposal of my remains. My sister has always said that she wants an open casket wake, and insists that she wants her eyes open for...- Copper

If I may be so bold, that is a startlingly inaccurate statement. You are worthy of multiple glances in anyone's vicinity. Stunning photo though, Fleur!- Copper

You've got to be kidding me, guys.
Regrettably, I have to concur... though I don't think that I match your proportions, this jacket would last have fit me when I was about 13.- Copper

OT:TaxMan Ebay
Not sure where you get the 48-50% figure from. I am in the next-to-highest tax bracket and pay 26% federal income tax. Those making over $120k per year pay 29%. It is high for sure, and would never dispute that, but it is nowhere near half of what I make. We don't claim to have free...- Copper

A little Swing for old time cops!
There was a distinct sense of style to those police uniforms then. Unfortunately style and 'smartness' in uniforms is becoming more rare, traded away for practicality. While I understand it, there must be a way to get a practical, durable police uniform that still looks good. I abhor the...- Copper

"So how much do you make a year?" No longer taboo?
As a civil servant, I am in the same boat. My salary, minus a variable but substantial overtime, is published on the net. My colleagues are all in the same boat, so among us there are often jokes centered on what we make...- Copper
