May the odds be ever in your favor.

My cooking has gotten exponentially better since I now use the checklists (follow an actual recipe) every time.

I replaced my washing machine hoses a few months ago. Rubber hoses, barely 4 years old and one hose looked like a giant bratwurst, about 3 times bigger than the other. Replaced them both with stainless. Never thought about the dishwasher, time to check that one!

I heard this for cars, but the same can be applied to airplanes. "My biggest fear is when I die is my wife sells my airplane for what I told her it cost."

I must shop at the wrong gun stores, I never see pretty stuff like that around here...

Get what you want. Otherwise you'll get what you think your family will want, they still won't fly with you after the newness wears off and you'll be wishing you were in something else.

Terrorist leader: Blow plane up. Minion: Put blow on plane.

I've only had the plane since October, so I haven't had it through an annual yet. It wasn't checked for leaks before buying though. Exhaust was pretty new (2 or 3 years old, less than 100 hours) so attention wasn't put on that.

So I bought an electric carbon monoxide detector with a digital display on it. I know I've got an issue in my airplane (saw and smelled exhaust this weekend through the heat vents, pretty obvious!) but it got me wondering is there an acceptable level above 0? I saw 13-16ppm during taxi and run...

My CFII was 84 or 85 last year, took me into actual whenever we were able. He still flies a corporate Navajo once in a while too.

Less than 1/4 mile vis from fog here for the last two days, and its forecast to stay this way until at least Tuesday. Apparently it was so foggy for so long the Packers had to take a bus to KMKE to fly to their playoff game, the charter plane couldn't get in to KGRB.

Change the landing and nav lights to LED before you leave and never worry about them again?

Do they count as rotting if they're in a heated hangar? There's a large hangar (might even be the largest on the field) with at least 10 aircraft in it. In talking with a former mechanic at the field a couple years ago, he said the guy that owns them lost his medical in the early 2000's and...
