    [NA] Solar power system cold calls all of a sudden?

    I have my phone set to ring ONLY for numbers in my address book. unrecognized numbers go directly to voice mail. My voicemails are transcribed so I don't even need to listen - just scan a few, words of text...

    What would you do?

    In my old neighborhood the cone would simply "disappear" one night. No words or confrontation - just gone.

    Tankless water heaters

    A year ago our 15 year old gas water heater died. We priced out both tankless and gas fired replacements. The tankless was almost exactly twice the cost of a commercial grade gas (with 15 year warranty). Working the math, we'd need 15+ years to amortize the cost difference of the tankless. At 77...

    scream

    Phone number? Sure. Area Code + 555-1212. Young cashiers won't know that is a generic "information" phone number.

    First Tailwheel flight + Back to Basics with POA Pilot

    Ah, the good ol' days. I passed my checkride in a Citabria - way back in 1996. Today, I "drive" an Ercoupe around the Delmarva Peninsula. Good on ya. The bug will bite...hard.

    Hey old people, tell us what you can't do!

    I have more trouble getting into and out of my Miata than I do my Ercoupe!

    ForeFlight - Minimum IOS required

    That's what is currently on my old iPhone, which I'll be upgrading within the week. New iPad Mini (6) should be arriving in a day or two - and (hopefully) that will have 17 or be upgradable to it.

    [NA] Where to get Philly cheese steak?

    Fortunately, we can get a great Philly Cheesesteak here in Fenwick Island, DE. A local pub, High Stakes, was opened a decade ago by a father-son team who moved here from Philadelphia. They still have rolls and meat brought down from Philly. Most customers just order a cheesesteak - but I order...

    iPad mini 7 announced

    Dang, just last week my wife ordered a new iPad Mini (6) for me. One version back (as of now) won't hurt anything - should be good for a few years. I plan to use it for ForeFlight only. I have/use an Amazon Fire Table for just about everything else.

    Name my dog

    Dogs respond best to distinct two-syllable names. I sort of like "Archer."

    I bid none: none dollars

    No records, eh? Parts plane. Funny thing - I still have a receipt from a C-150 I rented at that airport back in the early 1970's. $12/HR, wet.

    Governor signs ban on 100LL into law

    "Ok, need to get any important Cali sightseeing done in the next few years." We just finished our Cali sightseeing - by Toyota (currently on our way home from a cross country road trip). Last fillup in Cali along I-5 was $6.19. Yesterday morning we filled up near Winslow Arizona along I-40 for...

    Self serve fuel pump etiquette

    Thankfully, my airport only offers full-service fueling. Even if you don't want anyone else touching your airplane - they will bring the truck to you - and let you do your own fueling.

    Triple 4, double charlie - does it annoy you?

    My N-number has five different digits. After my initial call as Ercoupe 12345 in the pattern or entering the pattern, I just say Ercoupe “turning base for 22” (or whatever). Keeps it short and distinctive. Non-towered fields, of course.
