For some reason the phrase "Edgeley Optima" springs to mind, but I can't find any search results for it. I also have a vague memory that they were grounded for some sort of safety problem.

At the bottom of the page, should your starting point and your desination be the same city when driving locally. I start and end at the same warehouse everyday. I'm being told by my new boss that the destination point should be your farthest stop that you did for that day. I have never done it that way for any other company that I worked for. Can anybody point me to a web page that states the regulations for this?

Ok time for a little story, but I would appreciate anyone who would read it and give me their input.

I graduated high school almost 3 years ago. While I was in high school I never gave much thought to what to go to college for. After I graduated I went to work for a trucking company as a welder/mechanic. I quit after about 2 years because I couldn't get along with my boss anymore but thats another story. So I took a few months off to research jobs and colleges and decided to take an intro flight at the airport. I liked the flight and thought about being a pilot. Right now I have about 30 flight hours in at the local flight school, but I decided to quit that and go to an accelerated flight school. I have been putting off the start date because I have been sick, but I am starting to have some second thoughts that maybe I am getting into flying for the wrong reasons. I don't "love" flying but I do "like" it. I do want to finish up my PPL ASAP but flying is something I could like without. What I like about flying is its not a super physically demanding job and pretty much all pilots get decent pay. They get a chance to see the world and can realistically live where ever they want and commute across the country for free if they have to. Now what I don't like about being a pilot there is lots of competition for the few jobs out there. I don't have the greatest personality or the best leadership skills so I am not sure if I would have any chance getting hired no matter how many flight hours I can gain. And If I do get hired I can loose my job any time if I make a mistake or lose my medical so there is very little job security working as a pilot. I think I could be a flight instructor long enough to gain 1000-2000 flight hours but I would really rather not be one forever. Also I don't think I could stand being away from home and living out of a suit case 3-4 days a week. So I would for sure like to to get a job flying where I can go home at the end of the day which I don't know how many jobs like this there are. I think in a lot of ways a pilot is a very stressful job.

Now I also looked into going to school to become a certified welder/mechanic. What I don't like about that job is it can be physically hard backbreaking job that doesn't pay that great, and you constantly being exposed to harful materials. For the most part I like being a mechanic/welder I just couldn't see doing that kind of work for what they get paid when I could be sitting in an airplane making 2-3 times as much. I probably never would have considered being a pilot if I could make $80,000+ a year as a welder/mechanic.

Well thanks to anyone who it still reading. Should I get become a commercial pilot or do something else? Have I decided to become a pilot for the wrong reasons, or do all future commercial pilot have the same worries and concerns.

Thanks for any comments.

If you read information and news about what type of fuel is best for a car, they all say use what the manufacturer recommends.

Well the manufacturer of my car claims that 87octane is fine for it, however when I use premium fuel, I get better gas mileage and no annoying knocking and pinging in the engine when I press on the accelerator.

122500 miles

light came on for 1 - 2 hours about 2 months ago, but now (for about 3 days) it stays on.

I can't notice a difference in the performance of the breaks. There doesn't seem to be a problem.
I don't really want to take the chance and test them on the highway.

Is this just a needed checkup or should I actually be concerned

So I have a 2007 Kawasaki EX250. Started riding today and all of the sudden it just cut off on me, I noticed the RPMS would keep dropping and then go back. It took me a while to start it up back up but it did and I started riding again, well it cut off again and while riding it was smoking, I managed to make it to my friends house.

I wanted to know if anyone knows what could possibly cause this. I didn't want to get the the bike shop tomorrow and it end up being something not covered until the warranty and I get charged all this extra money if it was something on the simple side that someone else could fix.

It seem that these filters in the exhaust system are turning new ford trucks in to "flamethrowers" I'm wondering-can you just pull that thing out, or will that screw something else up?
