yeah, can't blame them. That would be a whole other level of crazy with that many campers!

I learned to fly in Williamsburg. Flew over carriers quite a bit, can't even say how many times I pondered the ability of a Cessna 152 to land and take off. Never considered actually doing it though, always looked to be foul decks while in the yard. :( It's been forever since I was at FFA or...

yeah sure...it's paid for, paid "ahead of time", and so on.... yeah I get it. And I'm not totally critical of the practice. It's the system that's there and it's a common way to game the system.... but it doesn't exactly smell right to me either. Actually kind of smells rotten. IF sites are...

it's been a long time since I camped at Scholler, so I don't know how they do it there At sun n fun, in years past it was a free-for-all. Especially in the over-flow area, there were campers parked at every random angle... with only just a general suggestion of roadways through the area. This...

if I'd been drinking coffee I'd have a mess to clean up right now. I had no idea I had written that! nice catch!

...or was it the deep sleep that came after a gazillion steps and so much fun?

True, but when I think back on it...all the money I spent on prescription progressive lenses and frames over those handfull of years I'm fairly sure THAT would have paid for the LASIK that I ultimately paid for anyway. Wish I'd have cut to the chase and just got the LASIK done sooner!

LASIK I went through that stage myself. My eyesight was always significantly better than 20/20... I could see distance better than most and could see tiny little things too better than most folks. Then my arms started to shrink, started with the readers eventually went to an optometrist to...

Many years ago when I first started attending sun n fun I had a collection going of the little hat pins they sell with the year on it. Then I went through a slug of a few years when by the time I got to the show they were sold out of the things and I found no way to get them. That's the problem...

I asked this in another thread several days ago, but I don't think it was ever answered. Probably lost in the noise as it should be since it was a sidetrack.... How did the Airventure night airshows compare to the ones they did at Sun n Fun this year?

came across this article. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2024/august/01/aviations-model-t-envisioned?utm_source=epilot&utm_medium=email I had a thought.... is this really the thing that pilots want? (basically a dirt simple and easy "anybody-can-do-it" experience.) Something...

oh, I hadn't thought of that....flying in the rain and the potential for erosion. that makes me think of this stuff I bought for a project a few years back. A penetrating epoxy product sold primarily for marine applications. I see it's called "smith's CPES" now, but I don't think it had the...

I was looking casually the other day at a couple of old classic taildraggers...namely an Aeronca Champ and a Cessna 140. The 140 had a wooden prop. My initial reaction was not for me... based on the hangar waiting lists around here, I doubt if I'll ever see a hangar to store anything in. Then...

interesting timing... Just this morning in my youtube suggestions, came this video posted by an MD who professes in the "ketogenic space" discussing one particular graph presented in a published study... I haven't read the study but I have read several others and seen many lectures presenting...

the benefits of taking a statin for someone with no previous CAD or strokes are so small that they approach zero. Not worth the risks...not even close. Cholesterol is not the risk factor it's made out to be I don't have time at the moment to dig up some links and references for you...I'll try...

straight from a click on google maps

I bought a copy of it when I was young and also read it. I'm pretty sure I was still in school working on my Mech E degree.... I tried to understand it...but if I'm honest it was more hopeful that some little bits and pieces were getting in there and maybe some of those bits would hopefully...

I was thinking it's called a Wall cloud...but by a google search, apparently it's a Shelf https://www.weather.gov/lmk/shelfcloudversusawallcloud

that was regarding LORAN.... Just a few weeks ago I was back home in NC visiting family and took a scenic drive past the old Loran station near Carolina Beach (34.06259460717931, -77.91309685852718). I noticed the old Loran towers have been torn down and I was wondering what the Coast Guard is...
