    Florida in Crosshairs Again…. Milton

    His goal with that move sure must not have been to get away from tropical weather! I grew up in Wilmington, and have lost track of my count of tropical storms. Have seen stars at night looking up through the eyes of a few

    Meat eaters need not reply

    Rich, I like camping and have always loved the idea of cooking really great meals like you do at camp, but it seems like I rarely ever did. Seems I was always rushing through meal prep because the outing of the day took so long or whatever.... The few times I did focus on cooking stuff, the...

    Who can do Rigging?

    I guess my point was....and this based on assumptions since I haven't read any example procedures I'm doubting that most procedures for rigging get into the weeds of checking motor mounts, panel mounts, panel and Turn Coordinator alignment, checking structural alignment, etc.... which it seems...

    What would happen if lightning hit one of our planes while flying?

    Back when i was very active in my training, I was blessed to have attended a presentation by Bruce Fisher. It was put on as part of an early FAA Wings program at my local field (KJGG), back when that program was first getting kicked off. Anyway, it was a fascinating lecture...

    Who can do Rigging?

    "Any mechanic is capable"...... I have doubts of that based on my experience flying rental aircraft..... that said I do understand that it's likely more a result of a lack of desire from the owners to have it done... Still, I'd venture to guess that they all "should be" but many aren't...

    Cheapest way to build retract time

    Yeah, the 177RG is nice. It was a good bit faster than the 172 I had been mostly flying at the time. I mostly liked it. In the cessna line though, if CHEAP and TIME are the goals, I think the cheapest per hour might be the 172RG. I don't recall off the top of my head the numbers, but it...

    "Target for Today"

    I think that apart from the human tragedy in it all....that this growth along with the lessons that can be learned from the vast production of war goods, is probably the most fascinating and often missed takeaway lesson from that war... Seems like we've never as a society gotten behind anything...

    What size expenses await the person that buys this? (Curious, not trolling)

    I wonder how often that sort of thing happens to more humble SE prop birds... the cessna's, pipers, beechcraft, mooney's, etc... that we all love so much...

    Forward Slips with Flaps on a Practical Test

    why not just clarify that while you have thought them that it's not an unforgiveable demon, and something they can keep in their back pocket bag of tricks that they should follow the regs and the POH when practical..... in other words, follow the POH unless they can't. On the test, follow the...

    "Target for Today"

    I have long been in awe of that time.... just think about how much new tech was developed, how many new designs were churned out, and all the industry that was flipped to make completely different unrelated products from their norms and with the bulk of their workforce expertise pulled away with...

    Oh, those silly geographers.....

    subjective vs objective the only definition of West that I can think of that would be objective, with regards to the U.S. is this A line of longitude that intersects a point = (distance from the Atlantic to the Pacific)/2 or maybe more precisely it's a zig-zag line defined by such a midpoint as...

    Hug your kids

    A real nightmare. I pray that God will be with him, and with you and your family. So hard to see any good from something like this. I hope my son will be home from college this weekend, and I will for sure give him a good hug!

    Ozempic/Wegovy

    I think it was helping... I'm convinced that it would have at least significantly improved it. I had it bad. It's really hard to say with certainty because the same time I started it, I also started down the path to get a surgical solution, so I only had about 4 months of diet alone. I ended...

    (n/a) lost keys, phone number on keychain a bad idea?

    Help me think this through. Is it a bad idea to list my cell phone number on my keys? It used to be common to have these tags from various places.... I have a quite nice one from AOPA that I bought many years ago through Sporty's. It's a very hefty cast metal. Feels and looks nice! On the...

    Bliss point, or magic ratio of those three things are not anything I've heard of.... and I have been extremely deep down the rabbit hole of metabolic health, I've backed off for a while now but for a very long time I was devouring any info I could find on the topic, reading journal studies and...

    Ozempic/Wegovy

    I've struggled through that willpower test many times...sometimes successfully and often not...I was never really able to lose a lot, but the weight when I was able to lose some always came back. Several years back I went on a drug called Contrave (I wasn't flying then) for a time, it helped to...
