    Ghost of Kiev

    I saw a meme (that I shan't post here) that the Ghost of Ukraine not only shot down 6 Russian jets, but he also flew to Moscow and had sexual relations with the wives of Putin and all his generals.

    What was the first aviation related book that you read?

    "The Hawker Hurricane" by Francis Mason. I read this book at least twice when I was about 10-years old.

    For one thing, never allow his CamelBack to run out of vodka. The rest is cake.

    Metal detecting…….Do you?

    That's what I have. It took a while to get it set-up like I wanted (had to watch several Youtube videos). Places I search locally contain lots of junk, so I bought a smaller coil, which seems to help.

    Metal detecting…….Do you?

    I think metal detecting is an activity that's very much akin to fishing. Some outings you get skunked, but often you find/catch just enough to keep things fun and interesting. And then there are the rarer occasions in which you find/catch the big one.

    New Girl Scout cookie - feedback

    I no longer buy'em because if I eat one GS shortbread cookie, I'll eat the whole sleeve with my coffee. So when it comes to GS shortbread cookies, as Otis Campbell famously said: "I seen temptation coming, but it seen me first!"

    Metal detecting…….Do you?

    I enjoy metal-detecting - it's almost as good as going fishing. Locally the best I've found are Mercury dimes dating 1921 and 1923. I don't hunt for treasure per se - I just enjoy uncovering and contemplating any bits of history I find, even a simple wheat penny next to an old school. As far as...

    Carlsbad Caverns trip

    Guadalupe Peak has several great hiking trails, including one that goes to the summit. However, this isn't the best time of the year for that. Maybe if ya'll have a good trip to the caverns you can put Guadalupe Peak hiking on your "Texas To-Do" list.

    Thanksgiving Plans

    Flew my LSA in IMC after dark with two small, crying children as PAX stuffed into the right seat. By most people's standards I was drunk AF, but I mitigated risk by taking off with 5 gallons in the tank. Knowing my flight time was limited (I set an alarm on my phone), I was keen to land and get...

    New form of medical torture

    He'll have to fast and prep on Thanksgiving Day for a Friday procedure. If his procedure was scheduled for Saturday, then the Friday prep after the feast would be a toilet-wrecking, sewer-clogging nightmare.

    Non alcoholic beer is pretty good nowadays.

    When I need to back off my beer drankin', my go-to is sparkling water, such as this from HEB.

    Extremely minor aviation pet peeves...

    For some reason it bugs when pilots only refer to themselves as "Cessna" on radio calls. There's all sorts of Cessnas - I'd like to know what kind. Maybe it's because when I owned a Skyhawk and later a Skylane, I used those monikers to identify myself.
