Cost of keeping two boats is staggering even without factoring in purchase cost and spreading it out over many many years.

This little saying is so true...

The two best things about owning a boat are the feeling the day you bought it and the feeling on the day you sell it.

Sold mine 3 years ago, gives me more time to ride.

I cross-stitch. It never gets out of hand ~ unless it's intentional.
In fact, I'm fixing to give it up. It strains my eyes now-a-days.

I save all my CD musics in my 500gb external hard drive, all in .WAV format.

I collect industry-standard headphones... Sony PRO MDR 7506. Next on my list is the SONY PRO MDR 7509 or a high-end Sennheiser.

Well mine robot project is at the very expensive stage. Motors, batteries, motor controllers, servo-usb controllers and the extensive amount of programming I've been doing...with no end in sight

But ah heck, it's a good time.

Here's an older pic..more recent stuff in the link on my sig.

There is a time honored tradition for owners of Boats, RVs or really anything that is more or less a pit - that if you have to ask how much it costs to keep - you cannot afford it. The plane has flown around 450 hours this year, had a Cylinder R&R and a exhaust valve go bad, nothing major otherwise, roughly $14,000 in maintenance that I can account for with Quicken. Insurance, $11,000 give or take a few hundred and the financing part - slightly less then the insurance. ITs actually quite depressing now that I'm thinking about it. Although, I have found a way to keep the cost of doing business down.

I outsource it to my wife! Leeme tell ya - she's a great degrease'r! I've never seen an engine cowling that clean in my life. Next I have to get her to clean the engine compartment. Video is directed below

If I was married to her .... my primary hobby wouldn't involve an engine of any kind.

What year SR22 is that?

I've been reading a great deal of good about those lately.

I'm also curious how you like the control stick...I didnt realize they were configured the way they were.

Wolfala · « **Reply #29 on:** November 04, 2007, 10:51:38 PM »

Its a SR-20, year 2000 model. The side stick works out pretty good. It has a pretty snappy roll rate of around 60 degrees per second with light control forces of around 5 lbs. Flew it nonstop from the Bay Area up to Seattle in about 3.5 hours using 7 gallons per hour at around 12k and 140 knots true.

Can do San Francisco to Los Angeles in under 2 hours. Its a pretty good and reliable ship.
