A well known legit expert advised me to indeed go get basic med prior to my ablation so that I could continue to fly within the constraints of basic med post ablation, as we worked through the hurdles to get an SI for my 1st class medical (successfully, BTW!).

Abby you ignorant slut. Oops, sorry, wrong decade.

I keep it on all the time, and notice no degraded performance when in typical cabins, not sure how it compares to a typical foam muff all by itself.

I have purchased similar (cheaper) Leather Mic covers for high background noise environments. They have stayed secure. Trim the cords after tying them and they look not so hokey.

We had friends on that United flight, finally getting around to a Covid delayed milestone anniversary trip. Two hydraulic systems malfunctioned. They said the situation was unfortunate, but not unbearable.

From experience, yes, take it as a win-win situation, and do not feel (too) guilty. Err to the side of "I can't believe it", leave extra fuel in the plane after you fly it, wipe more bugs off than you put on, etc. Share your love of the situation with him, text pictures of your adventures, etc...

Some heroes aren't lost in battle, but their loss hurts nonetheless. My friend Karl was my first service related loss, but sadly, not my last. Hard to believe it has been almost 30 years. I met Karl at UVa, and then went through flight school with him. Just by being himself, he pushed me to...

The one I hang/wedge/stick to non-alum/bite with my teeth: https://www.amazon.com/Clore-Automotive-LNC1541-N-Carry-Rechargeable/dp/B076HXTMKY Starting to use this on my head more and more, after seeing ads on FB and searching for the cheaper version...

How in the heck did they have that much excess energy after coming in for the break? I summarily dismiss them from the Van's Air Force. Good day sir. I said good day!

Forget it, he's on a roll. ;)

An hour ago at the grocery store, the older cashier did in fact pick up her phone and answer a text as she was checking me out (using voice to text). But, she also spent almost five minutes helping me navigate the chain's app so that I could get an extra $1.50 off the box of White Cheddar...

Our condo hangars got rebuilt with 24 of them, I have not heard of any major problems with them post installation. My particular door had issues closing perfectly vertical, solved that by actually installing the plates for the lower latching hooks to grab onto (builder had left them...

Include your photo of you in your Clown suit standing in front of the plane, that will diffuse the situation. Just kidding. As much as I want to say "what if you were female and she was male," I believe Half Fast has the right angle to pursue, to attempt to deflect certain sensitivities should...

I am on my second round of heat shrink on the original antenna due to twice cracked casing, works fine.

Slow Horses (appleTV+) Good characters surrounded by espionage. Nice, compact six episode seasons I’ve been watching on transcontinental flights.

It is all about timing and luck. The industry is cyclical, and unexpected things will happen. If yours is bad, you can expect to make a living. If yours is good, you can expect to live very, very well, even in retirement. Plan and live your life for the worst case, at least until you are 40...

Sometimes your want to be heroes are just, not.

A favorite is One Pan Mexican Key-no. Even my 84-year-old “l only eat pan-fried hot dogs for lunch” Uncle likes it. Add a pound of ground turkey for a little bit of texture and anti-vegetarianism.

Cashier's checks have lost their luster due to scams like this. Wire transfers can even be suspect. I now ask buyers to provide their bank manager’s phone number so my bank manager can verify things. Otherwise, no sale.

Gondola’s closed, moose out front should have told ya.
