Nauga, you inglorious baystard. @MarkH ping me if you want.

This is a foot stomp, no esser, folks. Just yesterday I was humbled by gusting crosswinds not forecast at my destination. One go around, one landing where I could use the plane again (which I did, today). I was going to describe the conditions yesterday as beyond my capabilities, but, since I...

Bold is mine above. Supply and demand. If your gut feels right, go for it. How badly can you possibly get hurt? (Edit: Wow, not sure English Teacher Mom would be proud of that last sentence. Oh well, there it is.)

What happens in Vegas . . .

My sports of regular interest are NCAA Basketball, NCAA Football, and the NFL. For the first two, I look to fan sites that point to an online feed of some sort for that day's game of interest. For the NFL, I use a VPN. I subscribed to the International Game Pass (India seems to be the...

I believe software is going to be your stickiness of wicketdom.

The Beatles predicted all of this in "Helter Skelter." Also Monkey Pox (I've got blisters on my fingers!)

I fly experimental planes, I ski, I scuba dive. These hurt my finances, actuarially. I've had MNRA vaccines put into my body and tested positive for COVID twice. No questions about that on last month's insurance application. What's a fella' to do? I think I know the answer.

Outside voice: "Thanks!" Inside voice: "Stay out of my cockpit, tool!" (@Tools: No offense)

And be glad you asked the question, for the great responses. I have done so much non-standard stuff while flying, yet I still get the heebie-jeebies doing a four cardinal heading GPS run at the same altitude to check TAS or some such thing. Keeps us honest.

I had pizza and wine. To mulch off both.

So the lives of those who do not fly an airplane but drive a car are more valuable than those who choose to drive a car to their airplane and fly it, and have a really bad day?

It is a thing for water toys. Plenty of folks with orders placed fall of 2021 for my particular boat manufacturer were promised delivery in the spring of this year. Most are still watching their hulls sitting around waiting for motors or radios or etc. I paid a fair asking price in April for...

I hear (from an airman on the telephone) that an ACK-04 antenna (with a slight bend at the end so as to allow one to mount it horizontally inside the fiberglass tail surface intersection fairing of an all metal experimental aircraft) can be seen by the satellites inside a metal hangar with the...

I will agree that a fastback fuselage on tandem RV's etc. is aesthetically pleasing.

Good day to you, sir. I said GOOD DAY!

Why, yes, I started dabbling in it just recently. Like, four weeks ago. :mad: Who knew the skeptical selection in my diversified crypto portfolio (DOGE) would be the least pho-cky dabble.

So, I am a money grubbing CFI, but only occasionally. So that particular metric does not really apply. But, I have had times in my life where I paid or expected to pay a reasonable fee to a professional. When I have felt they have gone above and beyond, I have given an overly generous gift...

Alrighty then, thanks for all the ideas and discussion. If it were my house, I'd probably go with the inexpensive time delay relay. But, not my house, and not even a full time residence, so the Moen Flo Smart with remote monitoring looks like a good option. My Uncle is old but tech savvy...

My wife’s Uncle has a house on an island which we frequent. I do a lot of maintenance on the house as the relatively young one, for the privilege of staying there. Water is supplied via cisterns. It seems (to me) that Man Friday got baked and left a hose running, draining 2/3rds of the water...
