I like that. I need to find something smaller for EDC. Currently lugging around a Gerber Custom Sedulo - had to do 'custom' to get it US made. It's nice, but a bit bulky (and pricey).

So THAT'S what you were doing on the way back from Hoppy's that night - you weren't taking us into the woods to kill us, you were just shopping for real estate, right? RIGHT!?

I have carried a knife for as long as I can remember. Grew up on a farm and later worked in retail and private ag, so it's just ingrained in me I guess. And yes - I also have the leather belt-loop pouch for carrying the pair of mini-vice grips that my dad used when he was farming. I still feel...

The vast majority of the time, I use National for work, except for a few years ago when I was driving from home to a site and it was easier to just use the neighborhood Enterprise office for pickup. The biggest pain I had there was that they VERY rarely threw an upgrade my way, despite...

Several years ago when I was tinkering with RPi's, I thought auto-aiming/leveling landing lights would be cool. Never got around to actually chasing it down though. Was watching a Mark Rober YT video the other day with my two boys and he was introducing his new 'HackBox' - a microcontroller...

I think (based solely on what my 12 y/o has told me) is that it's currently 1k subscribers and 4k watch hours in the previous 365 days. He hit the subscribers target on Sunday I believe and he was thinking he would have the watch hours target overnight last night. I didn't talk to him before he...

If you figure it out, let me know. Our oldest has been making YT videos for a couple of years. He's learned a lot about video capture and editing, etc., so we've let him run with it. He recently created a new channel dedicated solely to Fortnite videos (gotta give the people what they want!)...

IIRC, there were girls that wanted to do the more outdoorsy stuff that the BSA was doing and asked to join. To me, it seemed like a failure on GSA to not meet the needs of the girls they were there to mentor, but for whatever reason it turned into a 'exclusionary' issue for BSA rather than...

I'll go ahead and poke that bear, since you opened the gate. I think travel sports will eventually be the downfall of youth sports as well. I've been coaching my boys' baseball teams for the past 6 years (two seasons per year for the past 4 years (begrudgingly)) and basketball teams for the past...

Had a new company iPhone (6s, I think?) waiting for me on my desk on the first day of a new job several years ago (2016ish I think). It was my first (and only) iPhone. It was 'meh' at best. I left the job (and phone) after about 6 months and that was the extent of my foray into the Apple...

Not to mention how much time it takes to fulfill the role of 'trophy husband'!

How's the fishing in the area? I'm interested, especially if I can parlay it into a longer expedition.

Also... If you were at the left end of that line, why would you ever want to leave to come to the right side of the line!? Signed, mountain westerner wannabe

Wiring up a new ADSB-Out box in the RV year or so ago, it is actually pinned-out so you can include a switch to turn off ADSB-out identification. No more breaker pulling, just flip the switch!

I was sitting in a meeting in Plano last week and looked out the window and saw what appeared to be a medium bomber and a chase/fighter close behind going from SW to NE. That wasn't you in a photo chase plane by chance was it?

That's the magic of the UP (at least the very little bit that I have experienced). One year it was so hot that you could barely stand to be inside a tent and the very next year we woke up to frost on the wings. The good thing about the cold nights is that you can 'drink your jacket'.

No. It's not an open data connection, it's just messaging and weather information handled through Garmin's (I'm sure they're spinning it off to a 3rd party satellite provider) infrastructure. You can't use your typical text messaging app - you send/receive messages through the Garmin app. It...

Sure, we've got room for another 'Thinking about..' thread, right!? Somewhat a spin-off of my previous Thinking about moving and renting out current house thread, we have decided to stay put where we are for the time being. With that in mind, we're willing to continue to invest in our current...

Check out the Garmin InReach. I have the InReach mini (got it for hunting safety) and have used it in the plane. You can send/receive text messages, emails, or device-to-device messages and get basic weather updates either onto the device itself (very limited UI) or pair it with your phone to a...

^^ true. When we realized that we would be able to make it (wx dependent) back to 6Y9 this year after a 15 year hiatus, my wife immediately started asking "Soo, does ____ still go up there? Is ____ still on PoA? Will ____ be there?" It definitely rekindled a spark for meeting up with folks of...
