Good choice. A wise person told me years ago to consider your budget the 'sunk cost' for your hearing protection. Buy a current headset with a warranty, upgrade when necessary and trade or sell your used headsets. So I have effectively been rolling my initial budget forward for the last...

Maybe they'll root for the Aggies.

You say Central MD but call yourself Baltimore County? Anil Chopra in Glen Burnie served me well for a 1st class, but I had no issues. He likes to make money on no issue FAA and CDL medicals. Easy eye tests, etc. My wife had resolved SI issues, and he was not so easy to deal with for her 1st...

So, WCS has gotten me recently (the last few years) for whatever reason. I have been monitoring BP, and have had all sorts of results. But the monitoring has been beneficial. So just now, after reading this post, broke out the (doctor verified) BP machine. First reading 133/87. Did some...

My voice: Bought a band saw and sander for the hangar this week! POA voice: I got a rock. Nice score, Ted.

Wow, as much money as the "good" doctor extracted from that property, surprised it is a bankruptcy thing. Or, maybe not, businessmen do have their tactics. Maybe I'll win the Powerball and buy the place and become Stan's boss instead of the historical vice versa! :D

Under some conditions, FAR §91.323 allows for a 15% increase in max gross weight in Alaska. To include airplanes a lot older than year group 1988. CG is the thing I pay more attention to, as that more directly influences handling characteristics.

LOL! My favorite quip is we sometimes spend an hour on the lathe at my uncle's shop making a 5 cent washer, just because, you know, driving 10 minutes to the hardware store is such a hassle. :p

Stay civil. UPT by itself is intense.

Pilot 1: We've bought 106 hours of multi time to split, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses. Pilot 2: Hit it. Corollary: Can I log PIC if I'm sleeping?

Don't worry, his handle has been pulled.

Freaky. Looked at that picture and said, "Self, that plane looks familiar . . ." Checked the logbook, sure enough: that was the one I flew a couple years ago to see if I liked 310's and to get 5 hours in make and model.

I do not care for this security theater, but the five weather reporting stations in the inner rings are the only problem children. Flying in the outer rings is a nothing burger, I do it all the time.

Test fly whatever you end up doing for a day or so. We did not. We got lucky after a straight line wind event kept us off grid in Maryland for a week one summer with a most-of-the-house automatic generator. But it took a bit of adjustment of what we thought was a perfect solution during the...

I put in four places. Did I miss a field to enter distance, or is it supposed to use the maps link somehow?

Data: LightStream did an overnight approval for an EAB, $70k at 7% for 10 years, 80% LTV

Are you asking a spitballing local who has had to deal with too much smoke the last two years, and bought another oximeter in addition to the airplane one, for daily use, out of curiosity? Well, then, yes. Anecdotally, no scientific method applied, though. Good non-smoke related points above.

About 25 seconds on this day for a fully trained up and current pointy-nosed person:

Hiding nonetheless. I remember one lass that I knew personally. You could tell by the way they interacted that most fellas had an image of her that did not at all match, which she rather enjoyed.

I think Bill might have Shatnered himself had this happened then. But, yay for the successful off schedule operation.
