The sale is pending a missing 337. I had a PMA6000 put in last year and the A&PIA doing the prebuy said a guy down in Birmingham was ramp checked and dinged for not having a 337 for his. The prebuy mechanic wrote one out and all I have to do is take it by my mechanic and have him file it. Who...

So I no longer have to blame my antisocial behavior on being an engineer.

A long day has come to an end. The mechanic spent 5 hours with the logs and about an hour with the plane. While he was finishing, I took the two buyers out for a flight. The mech has a 177RG and I'm selling a 177 FG. He said the eddy current check of the spar was necessary for the sale but...

Today I got a message from Barnstormer that my 30 day ad expired. Let's hope I don't need to renew.

Prebuy today...I'm taking a table and chair and lamp for the logbook inspection.. Flashlights, tools, a compressor and a cooler full of drinks and hand sanitizer and masks to make everyone feel comfortable and the Cardinal Flyers recommended inspection plan. I'll report back later.

They used to burn off crop residue in my area (AL-MS=TN) and the smoke would mix with the haze. Not IFR but I spent more time than usual on the instruments and paid close attention to all the calls on the radio.

I don't know who penned the line "The customer is always right," but it is wrong. As an engineer and senior officer, I've had to prepare presentations and, I should say, arguments to convince people of what I have developed or discovered. I have always been taught these people are my...

Sad day today. I did a bunch of TNG's at the airport, pushed her into the hangar and wiped it down. I wanted to get one last flight in before the annual on Saturday and turning the plane over to the new owners. I had to get it in before the rains come later today.

I've gotten that followed by something like "your traffic is an RJ on a five mile final." In most cases, since I'm flying away from the airport, I'll maintain altitude but slow significantly.

It came right after the form 336.

My nephew works for FEMA. Whenever we talk I ask him about lumber prices. FEMA keeps tabs on that stuff. He says the prices have shot up as housing starts are through the roof (pun intended) and there is a shortage of plywood. They are scurrying to get supply to NOLO now.

Here's my morning routine on days I plan to fly: Check local weather radar at: https://www.wunderground.com/ Check NOTAMS for my local airport and destination at: https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/PilotWeb/ Sometimes I check ADS-B availability...

yeah, not sure how that happened but I rely on my number one technology phrase: Bill Gates hates me.

Things are progressing. The buyers is a first time buyer and we had a conversation and I suggested he consult his attorney/banker to decide if he wants it registered in his and his brothers name or in an LLC. He is going to do some research. We will get together again on Tuesday to finalize...

Windsor Ruins are in Claiborne County, Mississippi, United States, about 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Port Gibson near Alcorn State University. The ruins consist of 23 standing Corinthian columns of the largest antebellum Greek Revival mansion ever built in the state. The mansion stood from...

If you saw the mini-series on Grant, this looks like the place he crossed the river to capture Vicksburg. Completely irrelevant to the topic but interesting to me anyway.

If no one else is around while fueling I will check for water in the tanks and check the fuel level then do a mag check before taking the runway. If I leave the plane alone I'll do a full walk around.

My GX-55 has got a 2 yr old database which is the latest available.

My contract says $2k down (about 5%) and if he walks away after the plane passes inspection I keep half.
