    Philips Sonicare

    Uhhh, if it "fails" mid use, you still have a toothbrush...just doesn't go "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"...but neither did any of mine growing up so I think that those teeth brushing principals still work. It's not like Foreflight where you would need to declare an Emergency if the iPad battery...

    Philips Sonicare

    Love mine...used to also have a standard AA battery unit that I kept in my travel toiletries bag and was devisatated when I lost it and found out they no longer make that model...only rechargeable. My rechargeable has been going strong for years now. Make sure you change out the head every few...

    Air Fryer

    Essentially yes in what it does but not how it does it. Because of the much smaller form factor it focuses the heat more directly onto the food cooking quicker and more efficiently than a traditional convection oven.

    Air Fryer

    They are basically just mini convection ovens that move a lot of air around quickly but their form factor makes them really efficient for cooking food without getting all soggy like in the microwave or drying the outside and undercooking the inside like a regular oven. They also get up to temp...

    Air Fryer

    Just got one a few weeks ago and greatest kitchen gadget ever IMO! Love the ability to just toss in frozen foods and not have to defrost and preheat an oven. There are the single basket air fryers, air fryer/pressure cooker combos, and air fryer/toaster oven style which is what i ultimately...

    Vectored into smoke

    Have also been in almost hard IMC in California wildfire smoke...not really fun to be in at all...but as others have said it is a district smell vs an electrical or other material smell...but I am in tune to the different smells of various materials burning as a result of both my profession and...

    Bob Saget Gone West

    Yeah...he had the Full House and AFV nice guy persona but that was all a shtick. Had an opportunity to work with him a few years back, he was a d!#k in real life.

    Glass or steam?

    I had to pull breaker during training once to reset...so failures do happen, but pitot static systems also spring leaks...you just need to understand whatever system you have and potential failure points. I trained in a G1000...knew glass would be outta my budget for purchase but I managed too...

    A Question about VFR into IMC

    Short answer...spacial disorientation is a real thing thus your senses are no longer accurate to reality and the skills to both understand and trust your instruments over your natural instincts have not been developed yet. I can still remember my first post IFR ticket flight in hard IMC all the...

    Tipping FBO Staff

    I tip $20 if someone goes above and beyond but that is more rare than common as I am also pretty self sufficient and like to be. Just fuel and pointing me to parking...don't generally tip. Did tip one dude $20 upon arrival and as I was walking out of the FBO to the car looked back and he had...

    [NA] Weird new credit card fraud thing? [/NA]

    Thats the problem nowadays...banks will just refund the customers and they just write it off as cost of doing business vs pursuing criminal charges for the casual scammer so there are zero repercussions.

    Unexpected Ramp Fees

    If you arrive without doing your homework...especially regarding landing fees at an airfield...you are subject to surprises. While I agree it would be nice if there were a more standardized system to research fees across the board, a quick call to the FBO in you flight planning stage and...

    Notice to Air Mission

    Makes sense..."men" in AirMEN do not listen to instructions even when provided but every man always wanted to be part of a "mission" since childhood... If they were smart they would figure out how to weave a beer and steak into the name as well.

    Rent Increase

    Going through this now...there is nothing to prevent different rents for different units but there are rent increase caps unless it is a single family house or Condo...and you need to check local rent increase regs as well if that triggers anything.

    Must haves for cross country

    As I always say before takeoff...it is not a question of if you NEED to go, rather CAN you go?...THEN GO!

    What time will you be departing?(FBO rant)

    I always figure it is a default ask more for the jet traffic when they would pull the fancy plane up closer to the FBO for the biz jet customer. If I know my put-put plane is not moving I just give a general time. If I think they are actually gonna pull it outta the back 40 and closer to the...

    Didn’t know it existed yesterday but I want one today!

    An e-Foil is on my bucket list but the decent ones are still $8-1$2K...that is tough pill to swallow for a 30-45 min run time toy. Local shop here in town does a demo clinic and I may go try that out...or may not so I don't have the urge to spend another $12k!

    Mini-Generator (non-aviation) Break-in Question

    I just picked up a new Honda 2200 and place I got it from was awesome in setting it up, getting started, and going through procedures and Mx...only thing I had to worry about was recommended first oil change at 10 hours but no other break in requirements. Having broken in a few other small...
