The only complaint I have with the one I use is that the kitchen sink faucet can’t be throttled down to eliminate spray while rinsing dishes and still provide not cold water.

Did you guys do a second phase? I don’t remember it being that big when you let me park on the front lawn way back when. Or the runway being that green, for that matter.

Previously the best option on our mountain was DSL that at most gave us 27 Mbps. As such, we were early adopters of T-Mobile Home Internet as we can see the cell tower 100 yds away. We typically see Hundreds of Mbps. It easily handles multiple streaming devices at the same time. But, our tower...

Add to that list an uncontrollable need to post mildly comedic off topic replies and you’ve described my life. Hook me up with a taste, Sac, I’ll PM you my info.

Nice thread title of the day. What about the old “full nose down trim prior to punching out” trick? Do airframe preservation systems preclude that these days?

Good points all around. I have seen both sides. I always wanted to follow Dad into Naval Aviation. My parents encouraged but never pushed me. I took lessons from 16-20 but never consistently enough to get my PPL. I was commissioned into the Navy via NROTC but was told to go drive boats...

Determining market value takes work, either yours or a professional’s. Sounds like you have started down the research path, fold in some more data from Zillow, actual sales data from the county, etc. Set your price, but realize buyers will understand you are not paying a commission and might...

Up and left, just because birds of note always seem to go down and right for me.

I can’t ski all day anymore. Luckily, we are five minutes from the ski lift, so we arrive in time to stand in line for lift opening, ski a bit, stop at the upper lodge around 10:30 for a beer and some fries, do a few more runs, and call it a day just after noon. Then do some projects the rest...

Your Chai Speakeasy operating in violation of the Tea Importation Act of 1897 is about to be rudely interrupted by a breech of the back door. The movements of you and your patrons have been noted. Run!

Preliminary is out: https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/195128/pdf The Globe Swift did not have ADS-B installed. The Swift pilot had ADS-B on when flying other airplanes. The Swift pilot typically flew a tight pattern per prior ADS-B tracks...

My local repair station recommended this exact DIY procedure to me, as well as using silly putty to block the static ports and a hand brake vacuum tool from Harbor Freight to check for static leaks. Slowly applying pressure / vacuum is essential. I have had my tach and MP gauge rebuilt by...

Put me in the guy who wears out footwear camp, I hike and walk briskly, depending on where I am. The upper body builds stuff and fixes stuff, so it is healthy but not particularly buff. I probably need to stretch more and work on joint mobility. I've never personally enjoyed mechanical...

Only if you failed to rotate the treadmill to vertical.

I wish I could tell Facebook there is no need for the AI generated photos of "Stunning Aviator" etc. The one I wake up to beats them all!

Hey man, that's why when someone says "Thank you for your service" I reply with "It was my pleasure, thank you for your tax dollars!" Some the best memories of my aviating life were taxpayer funded boondoggles, er, training! :rockon:

I like to buy cool tools and turn wrenches on machines I own. Being able to do that on an EAB airplane was a huge draw. But I also know what I don’t know. So I first dipped my toes into the owner assisted MX world on the Arrow we were partnered in, up to and including an engine change. That...

Yeah, if you are driving into layers, all bets are off (ie. get your instrument rating so you can call for a pop up when things go not as expected). But if you are driving into an undercast or overcast and want to figure out if you have a chance to clear it and remain VFR, that is when the...

Find a forward horizon reference for your normal seated flying position to help you determine cloud clearance. For the RV-10 I fly occasionally, it is 1.5 fists resting on the glareshield.
