    Kidney stone

    Working in the imaging area, specifically ultrasound and high risk ultrasound, I've seen a **LOT** of sonographers take images in a way that hamstrings the radiologist into calling kidney stones on targets that end up being long term focal fibrosis. The CT scan can do a better job even without...

    [NA] Identity theft watch

    If you're not taking out loans often, they have to let you FREEZE your credit which will stop a lot of this. You'll have stuff on the "dark web" due to your house central appraisal district, your business info gets leaked on Duns and Bradstreet, a lot of info available at FAA both license and...

    Moving To California

    Tantalum, you should be disqualified from answering the OP;):confused::eek: Those two living areas are probably equal, like jumping out of the kiddy pool due to urine and into the big pool which appears to have a "baby Ruth" floating at the surface :p:D

    What do you consider “scud running”?

    That's about as scary as scud running gets gets here in west Texas ;):p In 16 years and 1000 or so flight hours, I've waited out weather exactly twice (once for an hour in Fullerton KFUL marine layer and the other 3 hours Stinson KSSF for fog to lift). I have most of the IR completed but never...

    Air-to-Air Piper Comanche

    That third picture (portrait orientation) is a magazine cover for sure. This may be some of your best work as that plane looks awesome in all the photos, but the plane itself shows needing some hard paint waxing on the banked view that isn't in the others (looks brand new in all the other...

    BFR Required Maneuvers

    I've had AWESOME reviews here in EL Paso. One of the FR's was in the CFI's Pitts ... we did a LOT of maneuvers, spins-recovery, aileron rolls etc. Had a different CFI that is no longer available that used to do some really tough emergency procedures simulations after take off and some harsh...

    Romancing The (kidney) Stone

    I've worked in imaging for several decades and your description is what most urologists do now. A heads up to the female pilots or if someone has a spouse or female relative suffering a stone ... pharmacy will indicate that Flomax is not allowed or off label for females and insurance won't...

    Re-Post of Sumping Test

    The attached link is what had me "rocking the 152 wings a bit" at the beginning of preflight and letting anything bad work it's way to the sump drain. This got my attention when I was a student back in 2006. Hope it helps some of you that are training now ...

    Bad Avgas

    You already figured that out ... I live on the border, years ago in high school we'd fill up across the river in Juarez Mexico, but ONLY used the highest octane available. We'd see them mix "a little water" into their tanks, but not on the high octane grades. Check color, feel and smell for...

    How not to **** off your CFI

    How not to **** off your CFI

    I looked briefly, but couldn't tell if they still have the student bank 20* during the power-on stall. I guess I'm getting old as the PTS seemed easier to interpret than the ACS (guess they like those number categories).

    How not to **** off your CFI

    I just glanced at the ACS (my test was 2007 a few years prior to ACS). I should have noticed the 20* bank on power on stalls in the old PTS, but didn't ... looking at the ACS it looks like they just "get near/first sign" of a stall and apply correction ... am I mistaken?

    How not to **** off your CFI

    OK, I'll be the one ... :eek::D I've had interaction with a bunch of CFI's and CFII's (flight reviews I don't use my original CFI). Here a couple that irked just off the top of my head ... 1. Minutes prior to test with the DPE, I don't need to hear you tell me," I've never had a student...

    Ford F150 with a 3.5 L turbo and the 3.31 rear.

    Get the Eco boost if you can. I have a 2020 F150 King Ranch without the eco-boost and there's a definite difference. Mine is 10 speed, but on hills with cruise control on it downshifts and sucks gas HARD ... I do better driving like the old days before cruise control (using downhill for speed...
