I have two fans with rheostat switches next to the light switch. Been working well for about 23 years with the same fans. The switches are just generic wiring. Makes the fan speed infinitely variable. The only thing I can't do is switch from winter direction to summer direction. But I can never...

I like airport and hospital coffee. (In a well seasoned mug)

I tell my patients: I give you the gas, give it back. We recycle here. I work at a green hospital, although this department it is tinged slightly with brown. I give out "Perfect ****ole" Certificates, too. One guy wanted it on a hat. I tell patients that no matter what someone else has told...

I really miss the cheap pens and notepads I used to get.

Sounds like a Piute. I suggest you circle the wagons! Do you live near water? It sounds kind of like a loon.

I aced my written and my oral was kind of long. It wasn't real hard. The DPE just asked questions till he found something that he could teach me a little about.

You don't report medications you are no longer taking. You do report the Medical condition (ACL Repair). It helps if you can say you have recovered well with no restrictions to activity.

I am home. I didn't get as many unclaimed airports as I wanted to. The Shortwing Piper convention was in Santa Maria, CA. I flew down over Yellowstone, crossed Nevada and entered California by flying over Lake Tahoe. On the way home I flew into Death Valley, then over the Grand Canyon, up past...

If your place is by Anaconda, why fly to Phillipsburg? A 182 or a Cherokee 6 could be good options. Take I-80 to Elko, past Jackpot, NV over towards Idaho Falls, cross into Montana at Henry lake, over Ennis to I-90, then west to Anaconda. I just did almost the exact opposite in a Tripacer...

Yes! :yesnod:

:yeahthat: I have Jim's foam in my seats. It is great. The only thing to remember is that in the winter it gets hard as a rock until you have been sitting on it for a few minutes. I put in 5-9 hours a day for two weeks each year on a flying trip.

I don't think there is any problem with the conversion. I thought I heard that the earlier pacers had one less wing rib. But I don't think it affects the engine STC. The Shortwing Piper Club has a list of technical advisors. Tom Anderson is on the list. His phone is 513/398/2656. He would be...

I finally had a nice day that I didn't have to work on. I landed at 6 new to me airports to add to the list. I would have had one more (Ft Belnap, U09) but when I flew over there were a bunch of modular homes on the runway. They looked semi-permanent. There was no notam about them.

Can't remember which was first, but it was either The soundtrack to Old Yeller or Christmas with the Chipmunks.

I agree. If you like grass, Frankenmuth is a nice airport. I thought it was about a 1-2 mile walk to town, though. The pilots lounge was not attended when I was there, but it was accessible. I don't know if there is a taxi in town but sometimes the local car dealers will rent cars if you...

In Central Michigan, the donut of choice comes from Cops and Doughnuts in Clare. http://www.copsdoughnuts.com/ Their Long Johns and Apple Fritters are great.

Appendectomies always seem to come in threes. The first one says there will be two more and the second one will tell you when to expect the third. I had two people come in 15 hours apart so I told the ER Doc that she would probably be calling me at 5 the next morning. She called me at six...

Lake Erie has cleaned up a lot since they let in the Zebra mussels. You can see the bottom when you fly over. :)

The one I am drinking at the time, esp if it has a little rum in it.

I had Mark Evans at Traverse City do my 430 install about 10 years ago. He had a good reputation and was significantly cheaper than Mayday and the place at Lansing. It is still working and I don't really get lost even though I might not go in a straight line, so I guess he did a pretty good job...
