    So today, there I was.....

    Sounds like a great trip. You’re heading home - and my wife and plan to leave on our second “Westward Expansion” road trip next Sunday. She needs Oregon and California to “complete” the 48 contiguous states. She picked up 11 last September. We plan to head west on the northern route (passing...

    California is a governor's signature away from banning 100LL in 2031

    So glad I’m on the “other” coast.

    Good place to hide a spare key on plane?

    I do nearly the same thing except I attach it to my car key, which is always with me. I also keep a spare in my flight/headphone bag.

    How much ethanol is too much

    I've got an Ercoupe. I'm not flying to a remote island in the first place. LOL If I could hold 80 gallons, that would give me a range of 1500 miles with a 100 mile reserve.

    Favorite coffee

    Good ol' Folgers and Maxwell House are my main coffee choices. I also Like Community Coffee - from Baton Rouge, LA, but that's not as easy to find. I am also a fan of K-Kup pods in a Keurig - because I only do one cup at a time. Other than that, I'll take hot-free any day of the week.

    Got a call from KAPT

    I just got a call yesterday about a t-hangar becoming available at another airport (SBY), an extra 10 minutes from our home. I turned it down - because I've really gotten to like the airport I am at (GED, where there is a 5-year waiting list). GED has two new runways, a great restaurant in the...

    Do GA aircraft have this device?

    Yup, my Ercoupe has holes all around the cockpit, plus the doors are actually canopy covers/windows that slide into place.

    Electric Lawn Tools

    My EGO string trimmer is more powerful than the gas trimmer I used to use. Happy camper here.

    This (temporary) madness has to stop!

    Somebody trying to justify their job (self-importance). Security "theater" like most of the TSA crap.

    What would you do if you won $100k?

    Repower my Ercoupe with a new engine and do some other upgrades to make it the "rest of my life" plane.

    Just Bought Land On Paved Runway :)

    Sweet. Congratulations. We live at the beach in Delaware but have vacationed several times in Michigan - likely our favorite state.

    TFR For Who?

    Oops, sorry. I had been looking at the mess of TFR circles around Chicago earlier today - and didn't notice they were not the same. Don't know what's happening in Cali.

    TFR For Who?

    DNC convention. The VP will be there for sure. Biden is scheduled to make a presentation, too, on Monday.

    Buy Me Some Peanuts And Cracker Jacks

    I'm all about minor league baseball. Three buddies and I used to take a baseball trip every summer for 14 years. I've been to over 50 Minor League parks and about 15 of the Major League parks. Much prefer minor league - no millionaires, no "attitudes" and we got to see some solid baseball.

    Why didn't they fly the plane back to the runway?

    Dang, that's tragic. It makes me happy to have an Ercoupe. I can fly with the canopy open and can, if fact, open or close it while in flight. Yes, an open canopy does degrade performance but not enough to be unsafe. It is so nice on those hot, sweltering days we get here along the Delaware coast.

    Air-to-Air Cessna 140A

    Wow, spectacular air-to-air shots. Love that first flag photo and all of the grins/smiles.

    Timebuilding Airplane

    I'd go Grumman all the way. A sea plane may be great fun on the water but I don't believe are great for lands based ops.

    Longest Streak

    With my former plane I was likely at three or four on a couple of different streaks. With this new one, it been either the WX or the danged VIP TFRs keeping me from a "streak" of even two days. I hope to change that next week. The president leaves our neighborhood at 5:00 pm on Monday. I plan to...
