The pork butt is working, the lunch brats are almost ready, and the two slabs of back ribs will be going on in about an hour and a half. The two top rounds are already finished, rested, and just went into the fridge. One is for a neighbor. 130F for a solid med-rare, they make outstanding...

The only unplanned tow release I was involved in was when I was flying the towplane and CFI and student were behind me. We might not even have been above 100’ when the CFI released and landed either on the remaining rwy or an intersecting rwy (I can’t remember). He said the glider started an...

I’ve seen the TSA lines before. One of those airports that gets two regional flights a day has that. The TSA guys really get mad if you cross that line. Someone said they like to step across a corner without actually stepping inside, but I don’t think that’s a good idea.

I did all my training from a towered airport, so I got used to it right away. And since the plane I flew was used almost exclusively for training, tower already knew there was a student pilot. Most of my flights took me to untowered airports. So I might have only used it a handful of times.

That’s 3 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

I think I only used "student pilot" a few times. The rest of the times I forgot.

Sounds like a case of voter suppression.

There’s nothing I can say. I’m so sorry for your loss.

“Maybe I should have said, ‘DiMaggio’?”

In my pre-retirement days the products we built used the push-fit air connectors, it sounds like what you have. Leaks, when the hoses were properly inserted, didn’t seem to be a problem. But with age the hoses would lose some flexibility and not seal well, or poor routing would pull on the...

My class D takeoff clearance is usually something like, “Cessna 123, cleared for takeoff rwy xx, right turnout approved.” Unless tower has someone else coming in from that direction, then I might get something like, “… straight ahead departure, I’ll let you know when you’re clear.”

We lost our cat of 12-13 years almost 2 years ago. I know we both improved each other’s lives.

We have the “Save A Connie” at MKC. I don’t know if there’s an equivalent amount of concern for the Elmore but it sounds like a group ownership might be the only thing to save that ship, since nobody bid on it.

Yeah, well, it’s only $100k

I’ll say it: “Hookers and blow” — I’m sure, realistically, it would go into our retirement accounts but some would go towards either renting, a club, or a partnership. And likely another rating.

It sounds like, without Henning, Elmore might have been scrapped years ago.

Yes. It's been quite a few years since I've been there, and it never disappoints. The last time I was there they had either just added or put on display some captured V1 and V2 rockets. They had removed a panel and found where concentration camp slave laborers had written their names inside...

K81 has a bbq joint on the field.

It is really hard not to like tri tip.

Lemon pepper works well for chicken. Maybe try a chicken soak. I like soaking chicken parts for maybe 2 hrs, I don't bother brining for a long time. I usually keep a package of this in my pantry: https://kosmosq.com/collections/bbq-brines-and-soaks/products/chicken-soak-brine-1 Then I can...
