    SeriusXM Question

    Their rates are easily viewed on their website. I don’t really need the satellite function even though my truck is equipped so I chose the SXM app and stream with Car Play. I’m paying $5 per month and I can use as many devices as I like. I have tons of music in the cloud and downloaded on my...

    What do you use to deice your plane

    It’ll stay warm for hours. My drive time was 20 minutes. It stays warm.

    What do you use to deice your plane

    RV anti freeze in a SS garden sprayer I heat on the stove. The fluid temperature is the most important de-icer.

    How tough are Cessnas? Watch some rough landing areas they can go to.

    If you want to admire the durability of the Cessna airframe? Look at floatplanes. Water is hard and there’s no suspension to soften the jarring. Next, or maybe worse, is skiplane ops. My own plane has done them all and big tires on rocks and hummocks are child’s play compared to ski ops. Lateral...

    Electronical help requested.

    Off topic but here’s the pistol safe I selected. Electronic? Yes, but I test it every day. I may open my rifle safe 4x a year. Big difference. https://vaulteksafe.com/vaultek-smart-station/

    Electronical help requested.

    My rifle safe isn’t for self defense, thus why I just replaced the pistol safe. That one? About one second.

    Electronical help requested.

    I won’t own a big gun safe with electric locking. Pistol safes have taught me not to trust the keypad types. I like dial locks. I did pitch a pistol safe a couple of days ago the failed. Had to replace it with another one with keypad and biometrics. I wonder how long this one will last?

    Prop control knob hard to push/pull

    I’d disconnect it from the governor and confirm the problem is in the cable. Then I’d replace it.

    Workshop insulation

    Where? I just had a small warehouse insulated with spray foam. In central TX it’s definitely the best bang for the buck.

    Which compression tester?

    A small bore tester from ATS is about $100. Not very expensive in the aviation world. If you want it with a master orifice built in it’s about $140.

    Ugly plane good engine or good looking plane that needs overhaul?

    Investment vs asset. How you value each is subjective.

    Joint replacement and metal sensitivity

    Joint replacement requires going through a scanner, not the halo. Same as a pacemaker. Easy peasy.

    [NA] Thinking iphone 15

    Criticism based on ignorance is…. Special. Pricing is determined by what the market will bear. Why not? It’s good business. I’m not sure why that’s a mystery.

    [NA] Thinking iphone 15

    Apple has used “S” for improved versions of many iPhones through the years. The Max indicates the optional bigger screen size. The “X” indicated ten. Pretty simple.

    EKG for BasicMed?

    An EKG is SO SIMPLE to do. I wouldn’t hesitate. My doc wanted an echo. Fine by me. All clear is way better than don’t know.

    MOUNJARO FOR WEIGHT LOSS

    These meds are seriously expensive. Wegovy is approved for weight loss if the patient has conditions to support it. Ozempic is approved for diabetes. You won’t get insurance to sign off outside their approvals. I suspect the same will apply to Monjouro.

    [NA] Thinking iphone 15

    I got a new 15 ProMax after I shattered the glass back on my 13 ProMax.. again. I’m happy to have a metal case to eliminate the glass back. Otherwise? No difference that I can tell. AT&T did give me $830.00 trade-in value for my broken 13, so the upgrade price was easy to swallow. My travel bag...

    Leaving Database Update Screen on G3X Touch

    I do mine on the backup battery. Never had any issue. If you do it on the main battery bus? Turn lights off. If your battery runs down from a G3X update you need a better battery!

    Running an engine with blow-by?

    The thing you’d notice with increased blowby is oil on the floor under the breather and oil on the belly. I’d guess you’re leaking oil through valve guides.

    Running an engine with blow-by?

    Which oil are you using? You said “developed blow-by”. Suddenly? What time period?
