Why wood prices are going up

Owning the thing will

Barry - this is possible. My accountant and I bought a Cessna 182 - kept it for around 6 years, took on another partner then sold the plane for a health profit. I logged around 250 hours and got my instrument rating. When we sold the plane it pretty much covered my entire cost of owning and flying the plane - basically, we owned it for free (if you don't count the labor doing some of the maintenance and grunt work on annuals etc). The only drawback is that you have to put out the money during that time and it can get expensive. It hurts to pay out a couple thousand for maintenance items etc. Good luck - hope you enjoy it.

It's even worse. Of those 3,000 many were not Americans. Lot's of people conveniently "forget" that.

Hey Doug, I got a bridge, for you cheap! And now let's not harass the rec.woodworking forum any longer. . .

LOL - OK, but since you already bought that bridge, you can keep it. The left, right and words of the murderers all say this is about converting us or killing us...

don't have any idea who is feeding you the idea that 911 was our fault instead of the fault of the murderers. I certainly don't plan on taking up their beliefs to get them to stop their terrorism.

I think it's because of SUVs. SUVs are polluting the whole world and running over everybody, so there is nobody left to chop trees down.

When I started building our new house, I told my wife it was going to be worth a half a million bucks when i finished it. Little did I know.

Just a day or two ago I watched a book presentation on C-Span2 titled - I think - "19 Weeks". The author stated that G.Britain was 6 months or so away from total and absolute bankruptcy during the summer of 1940. The British involvement in Western Europe as well as defending itself during the Battle of Britain cost the country extreme amounts of money. In his opinion that was the turning point of the British Empire losing its dominance as a world power and its need to lighten the load of all its colonies. They spent so much during such a short period of time and just couldn't afford to maintain the far reaches.

I had never heard that but it makes sense. When you look at all the trouble areas in the world today, many came from Britian and the way they divided up/split the countries and to whom they gave them to. Israel/Palestine, Iraq/Iran/etc., India/Pakistan, others, Egypt, heck they owned most of the world it seems like. When they left Israel, they couln't even leave at the correct hour; left an hour early and it caught the Arabs off gurd and the Israeli's moved in. Anyway, thanks for the information. I had not even considered tat. Happens all too often when you look at problems and go (almost) to the source.

Sounds like the Monopoly Game when you have to sell a property to pay rent on someone elses. Once that happens, its all over but the crying.

I totally Disagree. Poor has become increasingly relative with Loans, Credit and plastic. I have known individuals with salaries close to mine (at the time mine was 8 and hour theirs wasn't more than 10-15) Running around in brand-new shiny something's that would take them 6 years to pay off. As for Planes, boats, etc. They are all hobbies. Just as you might spend 3 grand a year feeding your WW habit. Some just spend that on flying or boating. Besides, not many of you buy a Powermatic with your two neighbors. If you consider what I paid so I could make/build stuff (apparently I haven't gotten much further than a hobby for the most part) with an education, the flyers still come out on top even with training/license.

The at the pump gouging right now starts somewhere that is not the US. Just in case you haven't heard, OPEC is cutting production rates, AGAIN.

Hmmm Makes me think of a statement I heard yesterday made by a founding father. It Started out "This government was made for a moral people....." The basic Gist is our government was designed to keep a basically honest people honest. As soon as The dishonest people became prevalent (E.g. monopolies, unfair employers) the Laws/regulations in the book grew in number.

More accurately, laws increased as "rights" of individuals overtook their sense of obligation.

Paranoia noted.

monopolies,

Of course they are. The price just started to moderate here. And you think there's no collusion with U.S. refiners and distributors?

There we go, a less cumbersome statement meaning the same thing.
