I bet "eff it" are the most common words uttered before the Sawzall comes out. Tim

If they only knew what? Tim

Thank you. I HATE vinyl records. Once years ago when I went to record a virgin disk onto reel-to-reel tape (a record that I had coveted for a long time) and heard all the clicks, pops, scratches, etc. I literally ripped my (Dual) turntable off its shelf (not being very gentle) and jammed it...

No apology necessary--I guess it wasn't much of a joke. I thought it was fairly plain that the poster meant watts, or at least not 200 amps. I pictured some guy with a Cub out in the middle of nowhere trying to weld a busted frame back together by shining his landing light on it. Tim

Oh no! You mean I'm the one who you think has confirmed the 200A statement? That was meant to be a joke. Tim

You see that a lot on planes in Alaska that are flown into the bush. In an emergency you can weld with your landing light. Tim

Yes--fuel thieves once almost drained one of my Cherokee 140 tanks, leaving the other nearly full. The imbalance is crazy obvious. Tim

I'm sure you meant as much offense as possible, but then you are the resident cellist. Tim

As it happens, my wife (a dive instructor at the time) was in the water nearby and actually heard the impact. Sound travels very well in water. Tim

Did you know that in Peoria it is illegal to stab midgets riding streetcars after dark on Tuesdays or Thursdays? Why yes, as a matter of fact I did--assault with a deadly weapon is illegal virtually everywhere all the time. Tim

Have to be cautious these days. In 2020 doctors are prescribing epic amounts of Damitol, which can help with covid/political/faa anxiety. The FAA position on this medication is not clear, but they expect to have fewer issues with it in 2021. Personally, I think they're dreaming. Tim

Okay, so there was ONE old, bold pilot. Tim

So what do you think the clunk was? The impulse coupling has already been ruled out (and to me, that's more of a "click" than a "clunk" anyway). I can't imagine anything inside an engine making a clunking sound that would not cause the engine to grenade immediately if/when it was started. Tim

On a couple of occasions before I got my hangar and was out in the tie-downs, I had gas stolen out of my Cherokee 140. I was angry, of course, but glad the punks didn't steal the gas caps--400 bucks apiece at the time. I hope the 100LL destroyed their catalytic converters. Tim

Also works on drums: https://rtom.com/moongel-damper-pad I don't know, though, why everyone seems to think moistening their drums rather than damping them is a good idea. Tim

DB Cooper highjacked the airliner on November 11, 1971, and Elvis died on August 8, 1977. Coincidence? I think not. Tim

I guess not everyone knows who Ramses II was. Tim

World's first POWERED airplane. It's well-known that Ramses II enjoyed glider flights from the top of the Great Pyramid. Tim

I'm with her. If I have to do more than one operation with an algebraic calculator I get all screwed up. Tim

FWIW, somebody said there was a fuel leak. Tim
