    DIY Closet

    We're huge fans of Elfa shelving from Container Store. You screw a metal strip into the wall at the top of the closet and then everything hangs from that. We've been using it for 25 years and is our go-to. Make an appt and take your dimensions in. They'll do a full design while you wait...

    Modern home WiFi

    Just bought a Netgear Orbi mesh system that was pretty easy to install and seems to work really well. Paid $300 at Costco (just before the COVID run-on toilet paper), an it consists of a router and 2 satellites. The nice thing with the satellites is that they have 3 network ports to connect...

    Medical Certificate/No Medical History

    Make sure you keep a copy of each MedXPress form to reference for future certificate applications. You'll want to be sure answers remain consistent.

    New York CITY!

    If you're looking at sharing a room with the boyz, remember that rooms are really small there. The Doubletree Suites in Time Square will at least give you a private bedroom, as they can sleep in the living room. And the subway (in one direction) is right under the hotel. We stayed there...

    iOS 13

    From what I'm reading, there are some significant bugs and security issues. Granted, Forbes seems to rip Apple every chance they get, but what they mentioned makes me want to wait a few weeks for the first update.

    Latest Technology for Instrument Checkride

    I had paper charts as a backup on my checkride. The DPE never failed my EFB, but did fold up the paper charts to use to block/fail some of the steam gauges.

    How to get out of a timeshare?

    Sat through a timeshare presentation in Tahoe about 10 years ago. It started off in a nice room with models of a bunch of their properties. Within 20 minutes we were sitting in a cubicle with a whiteboard. At one point, after being told no a bunch of times, our sales rep left to find someone...

    DWAI

    Nope, not me. I recently interviewed someone that has a recent DWAI. I'd never heard of this before, but here in Colorado (and NY from what I understand) one can be charged with a DWAI (driving while ability impaired) between .05 and .08, at which point it's an automatic DWI. For a lot of...

    Wanted: Club Membership KAPA - DENVER, CO

    I appreciate the followup comments. I started walking into the various clubs and schools yesterday to get a feel for the place and talk with whoever was there. I'll probably continue that this weekend. I'm not in a huge rush, so I'll take my time. Definitely leery of Aspen now, though.

    Wanted: Club Membership KAPA - DENVER, CO

    Would you mind sharing some issues that you had there, John? I recently moved up here and am looking at them for a bunch of training (mountain flying, commercial), as well as ongoing rentals. Always good to know where the bodies are buried!

    How often do you get a hold while IFR?

    I've never received a hold from a controller in my 2 long years of IFR, until the other day. It was at my request for currency and I really expected her to just say something along the lines of go for it, and let me know when you're done. What I got back was an official hold instruction with...

    Helpful Controller - Outside of his airspace

    I was still with the controller at KADS. Wasn't on flight following, so no handoff or sqwak code.

    Helpful Controller - Outside of his airspace

    I departed KADS on Saturday for a quick flight to the east. For those not familiar, KADS sits below the KDFW Bravo. I departed and was out of his airspace within a few minutes. About 5 minutes later, he gave me a traffic alert (already had them in sight) and a few minutes after that, gave me...

    Dallas Area meet-up Sat 1/28?

    I was referring to the airport in general, not just the diner. We knew the hours and arranged a rental car to do some wine tasting Friday and Saturday. Well, tasting for her on Saturday. I got to do some wine sniffing. Then, it was nap time for her the whole way home and I got to enjoy the...

    Dallas Area meet-up Sat 1/28?

    We were just in Fredericksburg (T82) this past Friday night and there was hardly a soul. Flew in about 4pm and there were 3 planes on the ramp. When we got back to the hotel (the Hangar Hotel is pretty awesome) about 8pm, there were only a few more. Not sure if it's the time of year, or the...
