I had almost forgotten the word geedunk. Thanks.

I decided to get in the spirit and listen to Burning Man Information Radio a little today. Yep, some spirits are free, others are just wacko. I did learn a new term: California Sober. I am pretty sure 1998 was the last time I flew over the playa. Back then I wanted free spirits to hear the...

As soon as your fellow consumers stop responding positively to the bombardment and remove the profit for the airlines, the attacks will cease (or at least move to a different venue, likely to the detriment of your super special deals).

Thanks, that reminded me, and I added a couple of this summer's visits.

https://asn.flightsafety.org/wikibase/412429 Pretty sure I taxied past that plane after my morning romp. It has been a long time since I have had to make not totally necessary "time stamp" contact with my family. :(

I second "stuff happens." We pull the plug on the water pump when away, but an overzealous yardman likes to keep certain plants well watered year round. One time he not only forgot to unplug the pump, but also the left open the hose bib to the hose with a nozzle. The hose had a small leak...

Professionally, at one point I held the record for the shortest range AMRAAM live warhead shot that did NOT result in engine damage to the shooter's airframe. Pretty epic to witness drone destruction with Mark 1 eyeballs, closest I ever got to a live weapons dogfight (that drone never had a...

Nope. Worst place ever. Don't come here, er, there!

Very familiar with that one. Some nuisance alerts from the phone app, but you will learn to understand what it is probably telling you. If an 80 year old also gets the email alerts, massive nuisance phone calls will ensue. :rolleyes: Ours is installed in a half-time house specifically for the...

Hey now!

You really flushed the mouse by leaving the lid up.

Meh, @hindsight2020, POA royalty, originally brought the post back after a ten year nap (above, without an apology). You’re good, and I had not seen the video, so thanks!

My understanding from a drunk donkey is that the quoted graphic shows the area where the tropical wave located at X has a 40-60% chance of developing into a tropical depression or greater within the orange hashed area. If the NWS is confident that development is high enough, they will begin to...

I'm not so sure airport gatherings are a good indicator. In our two rows of recently built T-hangars, most are younger than me (60) and fly their Bo's / Mooney's / not-trainer Piper and Cessna's pretty regularly. Do they socialize at the airport? Not so much, pretty much arrive, fly, and...

It is a wonderful thing when passions and friendships flow together. Your tribute is exemplary.

So, we as a family like the pay-it-forward model of life, Karma and all that. I had been waffling on how to help, but in your honor I bumped up my commitment a bit. We have been in your shoes at times. Yes, I am a self-promoting, me-now sumbeech. Look at my banner and bask in the glory of me...

Curious, what airplane? Is there a TAS gauge installed with a redline at Vne?

Thanks. My little pea brain did not think of the Yagi as being two-way, but of course it is, like any router antenna must be. So I just need one box with at least two external antenna connections, one for the Yagi to use and one for my local device to use. I think I got it now, off to Amazon...

That is what prompted my post, and I didn’t want to hijack that older post. My understanding is a bridge requires hardware at both locations. I do not have hardware installation rights at the location of the guest network, I just have usage rights.

When we are at our part time property, we use phones as hotspots for daily data requirements. But I would like to install a WiFi enabled water flow monitor for the times we are away. There is a guest network we have access to 1,500 meters away with a clear line of sight, and we occasionally see...
