    Houston - Rockport

    Yikes! I was down near some of the flooded areas earlier this evening and was talking to a boater that was working evacuations in the Addicks reservoir flooded areas. He was talking of looters around and the difficulties finding the remaining persons. He was working alone, though, and under...

    He may want a heads up that some areas won't recede for quite some time now. Where is he locked in?

    Fuel is showing up again. It's just in the dryer spots of town.

    Recommend android tablet for Garmin Pilot?

    I wouldn't say terrible, but certainly not as good. The animations aren't as pretty and you're missing several features, but I used GP on Android for a few years before buying an iPad.

    Yeah, but that was 12 hours ago now. The water levels are still rising...

    That's the East tiedown where I'm normally parked. This was taken this morning of that area

    Like Ike or Allison, it'll take time for them to disappear. So long as they weren't run while underwater, I imagine most would be salvageable for those parts, though, right? Even for a salvage title, can't you run them at auction?

    Houston - Rockport

    Shoot me a message and I'll be sure to be out there! Yeah, I had seen the picture she posted of the t-covers today to one of the groups. I had mine moved to a community hangar for the storm... But I told them I didn't care which one they stuck me in since I wouldn't be flying until after...

    pilot flight bag

    As little as possible, or what I need for the flight. That being said, my every-day items... headset, blulink, tablet, charging cable, battery pack, batteries for blulink, certificate/documents, small legal pad, pens. Night? Add flashlights and a couple more batteries. XC? Probably a kneeboard.

    Secure discussion group for technically challenged?

    Client controls to restrict copying aren't real controls. Unless you own the endpoint and can apply a control, it's just user trust. That being said, it's risk mitigation -- what's the risk worth? You don't pretend that everything is like protecting the secrets of our nuclear arsenal.

    Secure discussion group for technically challenged?

    The only way to protect that information is to apply additional controls. So long as folks are using separate systems where you can't apply any such controls, the answer is no. The only possible way would be to use encryption (such as PGP) where you control who the email is encrypted to. That...

    And I'm enjoying watching the C130s orbiting overhead right now.

    Houston - Rockport

    Which area are you in? That's a lot of water left. I'm glad those streets are taking water that well. I'm about 2 miles N of IWS (6 and Keith Harrow) and bone dry again.

    Icon A5 in the news

    Go figure even the media assumes it's a problem with the A5 even when it's doing exactly what it was designed to do!

    Recommend android tablet for Garmin Pilot?

    I have a Nexus 9. It worked great for GP until about a year ago, when it started falling over on its face randomly. It works great most of the time... but I do not recommend a Nexus 9 anymore. It's a bit older than the rest now, too. I went and bought an iPad mini that I run GP on now...

    Houston - Rockport

    Just yesterday, Weiser was fine. The reservoir controlled releases, however, are still causing some new damage and flooding (but still significantly less than the uncontrolled would be otherwise). A buddy of mine near Weiser did fine until last night... he barely got away with not losing his...

    Send good thoughts and prayers to Jay Honeck

    I'm glad his facility is still there, even if there will be major restoration to be done. The vast majority of the photos I had seen from the vicinity had me worried that the building may have gone missing entirely. I hope insurance can be settled quickly and enough folks wind up down in the...

    The proverbial $8.00 burger run.

    And getting in to that one would be cheaper than my airplane. I wonder how long a motor and glider will live.

    The proverbial $8.00 burger run.

    I've been watching him for about the same time and I definitely want to go learn to fly PPGs now. I wish I had known they were at OSH. I didn't know they were the PPG team.
