Shane stopped by my strip last summer before Oshkosh. I thought it was interesting that his plane was not a wrap. I figured it surely was. He actually painted it that way.

My office and the kids play room were in the basement, which tested high. So we remediated, levels went way down and I never regretted it.

I do take your point, but I did find it ironic that my concern about a destination I'm considering is not having ramp space *because* it's a small strip...

airdrop it to your iPad, open it in foreflight. No more complicated than that. Yep, it's a KML file. Edit it to your hearts content. Shapefiles and kml files are different formats.

The coverage is free publicity also. That has value that is part of the equation.

I'm remote enough now that if I want two day, it has to go to my PO box at the post office next to the Walmart. I still find myself choosing that option 90% or more of the time over the Walmart one due to the selection on Amazon. In case anyone is interested, my PO box is served from the big...

Last year I moved to a location that makes Walmart my only viable in-person option after over a decade of having many, many options in a retail space that was dominated by family owned businesses. Given an opportunity to look at walmart with fresh eyes, I suggest that you sit outside one...

I guess I would phrase it as "borderline useless" idea, rather than "bad". Between the weight restrictions and airspace restrictions this just has such limited utility that I'd bet the benefits don't outweigh the costs. Best photoshop I've seen in weeks. Yeah, I'm really not liking the chest...

Yeah, good point. I usually mention that also, but forgot this time. Even ignoring the control surfaces issue (which plausibly could kill you), is there an amount of shade that's worth a 30k paint job!

Sadly, I have a video about that also...

Such a good looking plane...

SnF (and oshkosh) have guest services that you can ship things to, so you don't have to fit everything in your plane. https://flysnf.org/attend/guest-services

So many people setup under their wing and end up with this problem. I've never understood it. The other one is people who throw a tarp over their wing and stake it down as a sunshade. It provides shade, for sure, but is attaching a sail to your control surfaces really want you want to do? That's...

Here are some tie downs to consider:

Big fans of Rex Specs hearing protection here.

I've known Julie for a decade or so and have been following this closely. To summarize: She has a history of dropping off the grid when life gets overwhelming. And things were pretty rough when she disappeared due to a recent-ish death and a custody battle. However, we're now a bit over 50...

Basically the same thing happened to me last weekend. I have an old stereo in my garage that bought a bluetooth receiver for $20 on amazon for and listen to my podcasts while I'm out there. I was cleaning and moved the car to get the tractor, mower, atv out. Took me a few minutes to figure out...

1) Many (most?) reel mowers have no engine and rely on ground friction to power the blades. In the taller grass, the chance of slipping go up quickly. 2) Reel mowers are very sensitive to the grass not getting bent/folded. I suppose someone with 4" grass who really stays on top of things could...
