    Cleaning Stains off fabric

    I know nothing about any of that.... but I would speculate that since it's all an unknown quantity to you...I would assume that the nests and poop had been inside the tail for a long time.... and therefore there could be a corrosion issue happening in there. I'd think that you'd want to have...

    Slow Cooked Beef

    hmmm... I guess I don't fully appreciate the difference between browning and searing. I learned years ago by watching TV chefs about the Maillard reaction, and adding flavor... and I've certainly heard this idea before about searing. And I think I even recall some debate on the topic.... that...

    Thinking About a New Roof

    My RV (motorhome) has a TPO roof. Not so much because of a leak, but because of a poor installation, I had it coated several years ago. rvroof.com I've got nothing but good to say about the end result. Several side benefits from the job....no caulking, better insulation, quieter, tougher/more...

    Slow Cooked Beef

    and that said I have made quite a few pot roasts lately. Use my crock pot, and I've mostly used the low setting, but have tried high as well for a shorter time. Very simple...meat and salt. I have made some with taters and carrots but for me those are not necessary. They bring nothing good to...

    Slow Cooked Beef

    Ditch the oils I've been eating low carb animal based for roughly 1-1/2 years now...basically almost zero carbs (try for <10g/day) I've drastically cleaned up (I mean simplified) my diet... mostly just plain salt on meat, not a lot of other species, herbs, and condiments. And I avoid all seed...

    Icon Spirals In

    Yep...too bad for sure! I always thought it looked like a fun little thing, but never much tickled my interest. When I looked at it from the perspective of "is this something I would love to have? do I want to daydream about owning one?" The answer is always "almost". The amphib aspect is...

    New Ipad restore

    I'm def not an IOS expert. Haven't used it in several years but I think I would start with this https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/force-restart-ipad-ipad9955c007/ipados#:~:text=Press%20and%20quickly%20release%20the,appears%2C%20release%20the%20top%20button.

    Etiquette for establishing 2 way radio-communication at delta

    agreed I know it's often recommended but I always thought it was redundant, takes up frequency "bandwidth", and to my ear it just sounds bad.

    Wings of Hope

    I'm personally less interested in the piper, and no autopilot.... so I was going to skip this round but hey, it looks like a nice one and I'd be happy to have any plane that's not a money pit (well, that's relative, I know...but still) + seems like a decent cause and it's probably just a...

    PVCs

    As I get older, I find more and more example of things that it seems like I should remember, but I just don't. As time passes, details fade....and no I'm not geriatric with alzheimers....just healthy 57....still I just don't recall the timeline and particulars... I can say with good certainty...

    Thinking About a New Roof

    I'm going through the process of getting a new roof now. My main comment is that it "kills" me to pay this much money for stupid shingles that last no longer than they do. If I were planning to stay in the house ...AND if I didn't live in an HOA that won't allow it anyway, I'd seriously...

    Tall Vikings

    That's funny. I remember buying a King course back in the 1990's...VHS Tapes I don't recall of that was PPL, instrument, or maybe even multi. regardless, it's most definitely a "teach to the test" course, and not much more.... and yes, They are somewhat of an icon. A unique experience for...

    Road Bump in Buying a Plane - No Place to Put It

    seems to be a universal problem. It's that way here too.... KSGJ, KCRG, KHEG I like to daydream about getting a plane, but I know it won't work for me if I'm driving to Ormand or somewhere to fly it.

    My 1st time going into class C at night, any advice?

    Yeah, wow, I was signed off to solo into Class -C when I was a student pilot (well it was an ARSA in those days) I student soloed into the airspace (KORF) to meet the examiner for my checkride. That's where she was based. To the OP's original question... what comes to my mind is the sea of...

    Does anyone still use the little brown book Flight Guide?

    Those were good little books. Just a month or two ago, I was at a used bookstore we have here.... a huge rambling collection of books scattered through a maze of shelves. I hadn't been there in years, but took my kids there and they had a blast roaming through the place...

    Lycoming Engine replacement

    I just came accross a posting for a raffle plane. Made me think of this thread https://www.flightclub502.org/airplane-raffles-mc/?utm_source=Flight+Club+502&utm_campaign=cdbfd8e98f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2024_03_11_01_14_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-ab65b9d4b3-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D yeah, I...

    Airventure transport from Commercials, GRB, ORD, MDW, MKE, etc.

    On their Airventure site, EAA links to https://goriteway.com/ from MKE or Chicago I'm wondering how well this works. Is it a pain in the neck to juggle? Buses run often enough, etc...? I probably won't end up doing it this year, but I'm toying with the idea of flying commercial up this year...

    runup area. WWYD?

    That does seem like an unusual run-up configuration but I can see some brilliance in it. It does depend on some awareness to pull on through to the back spots. Seems to me that a) talking with the flight school's chief about it b) perhaps make up some simple "how-to" posters and stick them up...
