Jackson Pollock would be jealous!

You're sparking my interest.

I would never put my phone number or address on a keychain. It's an open invitation for an unwelcome visit. Plenty of reverse lookup sites, paid and free, can provide your address from your phone number. I like the idea of an anonymous email address.

Port Aransas (Mustang Beach). You can stay at Amelia's Landing. https://www.ameliaslanding.com/ For those who remember Jay Hoeneck, this is his and his wife's hotel they founded after leaving the midwest. Nice place, great folks, and you can see the big shark!

Who would pay the BILLIONS it would cost to retrofit every cell tower in the USA with such a beacon? And who would cover the cost of new beacons on new towers? There are vast areas of the Cascade, Olympic, and Rocky Mountains with poor to no coverage or the towers are in valleys blocked from...

Any consideration of a SureFly mag?

Ironically, I use a pen in the plane, but I think a 0.7mm mechanical would do well there. I'll let you know if I try the 207. Not sure about the Kuru Toga.

http://olympicpeninsulaairaffaire.com/ A great local event! I made the last one, but it doesn't look like I can make this year. :( And Sequim is the Lavender capital of North America! Plan for next year's Lavender Festival now. https://www.lavenderfestival.com/...

How did the yoke feel? Heavy? Light? Normal? Where was stabilizer trim set? The one time I experienced an inexplicably low climb rate the trim was way forward and the yoke was way heavy. Learned a lesson there. The most serious explicable climb rate I've experienced was leaving Douglas, WY...

And I'm waiting for the punchline ...

Normally aspirated Lycoming O-320-D3G in my Warrior with a CHT-only monitor. I may lean during run up depending on the airport altitude. During climb, I'll randomly lean to best power-ish keeping the hottest CHT below 380-390F. I'm not anal about it. More often, if I have to lower CHT, I'll do a...

Read it and weep. How far the mighty have fallen. https://www.space.com/nasa-oig-report-space-launch-system-rocket

Nice photo. I agree. The soft baffling should flex inward (like right-hand piece) so the positive pressure above the cylinders presses it against the cowling. There is some wear to the underside of the cowling. Cover the wear points and soft baffling contact areas with metal foil tape. I would...

If there was a prop strike and it's not listed in the logs, I wonder what else is not in the logs. Run.

Oh. The chick with headaches. She's not a part of my reality. I never would have gotten it.

I am definitely going to need this one explained.

No, but they are now attacking boats. https://www.livescience.com/animals/orcas/orcas-have-attacked-and-sunk-another-boat-in-europe-and-experts-warn-there-could-be-more-attacks-soon https://www.npr.org/2023/11/07/1211269495/orca-boat-yacht-attack-spain-morocco
