    NA - Freezer Struggling

    I found a guy on eBay who rebuilds and sells only refrigerator control boards. He had the exact board I needed to fix my 20+ year old Frigidaire. Until I replaced the main board, I had to pull the freezer apart and defrost the coils with hot water and a hair dryer every 20 days or so... The...

    CFI Renewal

    I did the in-person American Flyers for the first two renewals and the last one at Meacham was super boring with some chump who was there mostly to play videos. It sucked. That was 36 years ago, so hopefully, their in-person experience has improved since then... I did AOPA last year and it...

    Daily Pic

    The one and only time I flew on Southwest Airlines, the 737 scraped the right wingtip on that landing.

    Tell Me How To Move

    Every mover I have hired has broken or stolen my stuff. When I moved back from Alabama to Texas, a rental van was stupid expensive and inconvenient. My solution was to buy a full size Chevy van on an online auction, fix it up and use it to move all my important stuff in two trips. I later...

    [NA] GMRS or HAM enthusiasts?

    There is nothing stopping you from using all and any radio bands available. Pay the fee and get a GMRS and also get licensed and use amateur VHF/UHF bands as well as HF for long distance stuff. The limitations on CB have made it lose favor with mobile operators when compared to the FM modes...

    Do You Like Coleslaw

    As a happy consumer of several cabbage-based edibles, such as Kimchi and Sauerkraut, I consider Coleslaw the "starter kit." Whenever I visit a BBQ eatery, I always get the coleslaw to see how they do it and the variety makes it an adventure...

    Replacing truck, need opinions

    I didn't know the Colorado was available with a Diesel. That seems like a perfect combination of vehicle and engine. I see lots of them available on the used car market, so I would look for a replacement. [Spoken by a guy with three Diesel cars in his driveway]

    POA Aviation Media Forum Sucks

    I don't get it... I went to that forum and all I saw was a link to some fart videos and a Rickroll. Where are Jack's posts?

    Peeling Hard Boiled Eggs

    Chickens are specifically bred to produce eggs with thin shells. The idea is to make peeling easier and save waste in large commercial egg farms. I don't see the need for placing the boiled eggs in cold water, unless you plan to pop them directly into your mouth...

    IFR training in non-IFR aircraft

    One of the "fun" things I did back in the good 'ol days was fly barely IFR capable airplanes on IFR flight plans in good VMC weather. It was a challenge to successfully fly enroute and approaches with barrel heading indicators, venturi-driven Attitude Indicators and a single Narco tube radio...

    New favorite chili paste

    Almost. Gochujang is not necessarily fermented, merely crushed peppers in a paste. The commercial stuff is mixed with doenjang and rice starch to add flavor. Doenjang, on the other hand, is fermented Soybean paste and it takes some getting used to for those timid folks who cannot handle...

    New favorite chili paste

    We have this stuff here: It tastes very different from the good stuff and is slightly sweeter, but even it is out of stock now at H.E.B.

    New favorite chili paste

    Yep. I was forced to buy two bottles there. By "forced," I mean my Korean wife didn't believe me when I said the stuff is not available in stores and she was moments away from violent withdrawal...
