    It can’t be done. They won’t allow you to start with a zero sadly.

    Rant iOS Upgrade

    Bottom of iPhotos, select “Albums” and then “Recents.” Currently you’re stuck in “For You” it seems. Once you select recents it should always go there. In iBooks (Now called “Books”) go to the search window and type in “Who moved my cheese?” Buy that book $7.99 and read it.

    Autonomous Car Problems

    I often do the Taconic which it locks into nicely. My GFs Subaru kicks off on that road.

    Autonomous Car Problems

    Try it out. It’s pretty amazing in heavy rain/fog. Not snow covered roads though.

    Autonomous Car Problems

    Got a chuckle out of this thread after my car just drove me (with no interventions) from my house to the turn off to the parking lot. 1 hour 45 minutes. Morning drive, Hudson Valley to Newark, NJ. But yeah, it’s not for everyone. I probably pay more attention when it’s on than when driving manually.

    Lightspeed Delta Zulu

    The unit I use from Sportys costs $170 and the monitor needs to be replaced every 2 years according to the Sportys description. (Tocsin 3) The Delta Zulu will be replacing that sensor which I never did find a good spot for in the cockpit and often left at home or forgot to turn on.

    Lightspeed Delta Zulu

    I’ve finally been able to do a comparison test of the Delta Zulu with the Bose A20 on a flight yesterday. I’ve been searching for the perfect headset for a long time now. At first it was the Lightspeed Zulu 2 and 3. They were comfortable and worked well. Then I gave wireless headsets a shot in...

    Coddled college kids

    At first I thought you were describing Rippon College. And then you mentioned an air conditioner. Well, that rules out Rippon. (stayed there once during OSH. It’s an experience!)

    FAA approves GAMI G100UL Fuel!

    This is huge! Now, I need to figure out if my Petersen STC works with G100UL. https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2022/september/01/closer-to-an-unleaded-future

    Oil is down 18% in the last 30 days. When will it be reflected in avgas pricing?

    My FBO is on a tank that’s priced at the same level as it was last year. They won’t raise the prices until a new tank comes in. I will support these guys forever as a result.

    20N kingston ulster pirep

    I’ve seen it fly last year. Currently they are recovering the airplane now. But they have a Taube replica and a Bristol F.2 that’s new to the collection this year.

    Gathering of Luscombes 2022

    I flew to the Luscombe fly-in in 1989 from Crest Airpark (S36) to Columbia in N71808. Won the hard luck trophy and the youngest pilot award. 110 Luscombe that year. How many were there this year? I’d love to go back.

    Red Box (Lycoming)

    I asked a very knowledgeable Lycoming representative at Oshkosh last year what they recommend at 65% on an O-360. “Peak EGT.” He said. Essentially, run what you want at 65%. I’ve been leaning to rough and then just slightly rich of that and getting 6.5 - 7 gph when not in a hurry.
