Full disclosure: This month I became an “Advocate” for Icon Aircraft, an airplane manufacturing company founded by Kirk Hawkins who flew F-16s in the Air Force and always wanted to design a light, sport airplane that would fly like a fighter – in other words, responsive and safe. I am a pilot and a member […]
Those of us who admire our oldest and bravest citizens – those who fought for liberty over the Nazi Fascism of World War II – are fewer than ever before and this will certainly be the last of the major anniversaries where some are still alive to tell the tales. All the more reason that […]
Two of your Boomerguys Editors, Will and George Avgerakis, are members of the International Motorsports Press Association or IMPA. IMPA sponsors various events throughout the years where representatives of automotive products (like cars), demonstrate their goods and, well, we gen a chance to drive some. Now, the experience of getting behind the wheel of […]
Track Review: Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Named after the iconic WWII Grumman F6F fighter plane, the Dodge version drove up before me in the parking lot of the Monticello Motor Club producing as much anticipation as I might imagine getting if the real “ace-maker” fighter had appeared.

The Bose and other active noise-canceling devices have microphones that listen for noise. […]
With the warm weather finally here, it’s time to take to the trails. So grab your pack, your walking stick(s), water bottles, snacks, hiking buddies, and go get some quality time with Momma Nature! In my younger days, I was a bit of a hardcore hiker, putting in serious mountain miles in upstate NY, Vermont, […]

Liquidate a Hoarder House To date, I have liquidated the contents of four entire “hoarder” houses and dozens of apartments (deadbeat tenants often walk out leaving a lot if not everything behind!). One house was so packed, I had to work from within two garbage cans to make enough room just to get in the […]
