Another ownership question

("TTA Cherokee Driver" wrote)
In fact my brother-in-law owns an Archer which he's had for a long time
and has long since paid off. I was envious, until I learned he hasn't
flown since January and the plane is just sitting there rotting because
he can't justify keeping up with the fixed costs for the flying he's
doing (it doesn't help he's been laid off and is in a tight spot).


Grab 3 other people and buy the plane from your sister's hubby. You'd be
helping out a family member in need. g

BTW - did anyone else think it ironic (in the KX-155 LEDs thread) that one
fix for cleaning connections (gold? silver?) was to polish them with a
dollar bill?

Let us know how things go with your new Archer partnership. You 4 going to
hangar that rascal, or just tie it down the first year?

He's got too much pride to sell that plane, and even if he did I have a
rule about not buying cars, planes or boats from relatives, or selling
such to them -- it's much better for family harmony that way, as I've
learned through experience (wanna buy a boat that has only had one other
owner, my father .

E-mail me off group about your boat. Thanks.

I'm the current owner of *my* dad's boat - 16 ft money sucking machine with
a propeller g.

My sister might be getting the "family" boat (free) for Christmas evil
grin.

Redecking project is almost complete - marine plywood cut/spar
varnished/glue/marine carpet/stainless hardware/etc. Completion (a.k.a. -
reinstall pieces into das boat) can wait 'till April. Boat's in its own
little winter cocoon now.

Family calls my season-end "keep snow and rain out of the boat" effort The
Aircraft Carrier. I built an 8 ft high wall x about 12 ft long (with 16"
stud centers) then set it down, across the boat. I attached 7 short legs,
which raise the starboard side up - for water runoff. The legs also lift the
(framed only) wall over the steering console (no windshield on this fishing
boat). Bought a 15'x25' brown/green tarp at Menard's to cover the whole
thing. Whole setup (lumber/screws/tarp/bungees) cost $40 max. When
disassembled, the lumber fits between 2 stud sections in the garage - for
summer storage. Cheapest part of ownership has been putting the boat away on
the slab for the season. g

12" of snow forecast for the Twin Cities this weekend.

Yes, this seemed all wrong for aviation -- shouldn't it have been at
least a $50?
