Putting permanent lights on is a heck of a lot of work. I’d leave it to the pros. For our house, they built aluminum railings that the lights fit in, color matched to the eves, and custom fit to every eve. During the day, even if you look close, you can’t really tell that they’re there. You can...

Inspirational when people put skin in the game, but developing aircraft is not without risk. The CEO of Sonex died in an experimental Sonex. And the wife of the CEO of Epic died in an experimental Epic.

25 gusting 35 in light blowing snow today, dressed very well for summer. Survived the preflight. Climbed up into the clouds, and I think I found out where the snow was coming from. I fear that rumors of winter coming may in fact be true.

We were taught (incorrectly) that wight loss was a simple formula of calories in and calories out. But it is way more complex. If you take an obese person with metabolic syndrome, and starve them, the body will eat their muscle first, and leave the fat behind. Additionally, when starved, the...

500K is a "deal" But a 501 in a less than optimal year can cost you another 500K to run. That is why they are so cheap. You usually get what you pay for.

Not aware of any OTC ozempic? Should be prescription and more importantly this is a complex topic, and the medication is probably best administered under the direction of a physician that is knowledgeable of weight loss and GLP-1's . Should be done with nutrition and exercise counseling. A well...

Yes. I was restricted to 250 or below at CARTR and then of course 200 KIAS when below class Bravo and within 4 nm of the Class D airport.

People understand that a twin jet might be scooting in, but when you make that call into the tower from 36 miles away... and only 6 minutes out in a single prop (Piper Meridian M600) 374 knots across the ground at Mach 0.51, that can be surprising to some. I was about to start slowing here...

I wanted to name my dog Whiskey, but living in Utah, were afraid of offending. So continued the trend of naming our dogs after famous skiers. He is Bode, (Bo dee) after Bode Miller. My son finished a race once on one ski, just like Bode did (not on purpose, but it happens). Bode hangs out...

I am a pulmonologist among other things, but over my life have had regular high exposures to almost everything out there due to being in peoples airways, whether intubating, resuscitating, or sticking cameras in their lungs. I often joke that if I ever get sick, whatever that was is going to...

59, I had 20/20 viz as a young man, but need glasses now but corrected I am 20/15. Ears ring and don’t hear high freq anymore. But can still hear a teenager trying to sneak into or out of the home through a closed door. Stronger than I was as an 18 y/o and I was pretty athletic then. My 59 y/o...

Less lethal devices can be useful for men, but for most women, are not going to be of limited use against a man twice their size. Might just **** them off enough to trade an assault for a homicide. Follow up on the CCW with ample firearm training and simulations. And the best protection is...

On my way home yesterday from Cabo FL260 over the Utah south desert, got a nice view of the comet. At first, I didn’t know what it was. I thought it was maybe a very large very high flying aircraft, or maybe a space vehicle. But then other pilots started talking about it on guard and someone...

I just got the full upgrade on my airplane. Testing it out this weekend.

This was a very very early Cirrus. No perspective. Not sure if those old birds had a flight director.

Yeah. I hate these stories. Company new to aviation goes to innovate and then realizes that the people that have been doing it for 100 years actually did know what they were doing and reliable flying machines are really expensive to build.

Yeah 4.2 mil home in Seattle would be considered a modest, even starter home in some parts of the country.

Seems to me the plane was begging for help from the pilots almost the entire trip. The pilots had so much time and so much warning to save the day, yet sat as passengers while all this unfolded for pretty much the whole trip. Other than the potential icing systems failures and potential nuisance...

5 fatal accidents out of 300 built, for a turbine? Doesn’t sound overly safe to me. Looking at those 5 fatal accidents, all occurred near an airport on take off or approach phase, only one on floats. These don’t sound like high risk flights to me. Especially if professional operations, with...

Smoking Rudy. That is a really good day in my turboprop!!
