Scary High Oil Temps - Lycoming 540

This past week we did a lot of flying and I noticed my oil temps getting really high as illustrated on my old oil temp gage. There were times where it was touching the red. I would throttle back, lower the nose and baby it and it would cool a little and I could keep a green gap between the...

Holy sh_tballs, I don’t know if that’s something to be proud of or horrified of!
 
you afraid/proud or other people afraid?
 
Should I feel dumb? I always thought it was optha mologist but apparently it's opthal mologist. Guess I learn't a new word today.

I was browsing airplanes on Trade-A-Plane and I usually take the N number and put it into Flight Aware to see what cruise speed is for that particular plane. Happened to be looking at Comanche 250s today.

Right now HP is advertising laptops: "Gear Up with HP"

Uh, no thank you.
 
As I dimly recall, Akroyd's line was " ... and some dry WHITE toast".

The "Blues Brothers" is one of the best movies and the best sound tracks ever ... in my opinion.

Agreed on all counts, but it was the best I could find in the 7.4 seconds I spent looking :biggrin:

Sidebar: 1980 was the year of Blues Brothers, Airplane, and Caddyshack, not to mention The Empire Strikes Back. We used to be a proper country.

And it set the record for the most cars wrecked in one movie.

Parts of that movie were filmed in my town. When they drove the cop car on the beach...the first cop car pileup my grandpa watched from a baseball field which is now a McDonald'sl. Ill use the 4 fried chickens and a coke line at a hole in the wall....but nobody gets it

I've never understood how a Canadian like Aykroyd could have the quintessential Chicago accent

why can't we have a holographic prop fan to keep us entertained?

I don't like the sound those engine controls make when you move them... they should have never left the ground. Also Marky Mark bald? weird.

Y'know, I started laughing and then I suddenly started thinking. It would be an amazing HUD. Imagine your airspeed and airspeed just appearing to float right in front of the nose, maybe with one of those little navigation arrows and a distance to next waypoint. If you make a landing of less than 0.5G acceleration change on touchdown, your entire prop arc turns briefly into a yellow smiley face.

Maybe some lights on the front too, so you can message people in front of the aircraft. "You're about to die" or skull and crossbones. Haha!

hellz yeah! you see, me and you get it......
 
Was on vacation with family last week at a touristy place. Went into one of the fudge/ice cream/coffee/donut/candy/lordknowswhatelse place and ask for a diet coke.

I walk up to the counter
I scan my credit card / I self pay
I'm given a cup and a straw to go fill it up myself

But... thank goodness when I'm paying while the kid behind the counter is recovering from having to hand me an empty cup I'm offered several choices/levels of a tip I can leave. On top of the $4.00 for a fountain drink that I pour myself.

Now, I usually try to avoid the "Get off my lawn" mindset, but I've found myself just done with this tipping request craziness, especially on top of how expensive everything has become. If someone is actually doing something (waiter, the guy cutting my hair, etc. ) yeah, I'll bite. But basically self serve, self pay places? Drive through? Nope.
 
Is the kid behind the counter getting paid like a waiter (lower min wage)?

If I suspect someone under paid, then I try to tip with cash. Tipping on the machine might only barely trickle down to that particular employee. Otherwise in general if you walk up to the counter, place order, and walk back to pick it up etc. no tip should be expected.

I see a tip as extra payment in exchange for good service from that waiter/person.

What that kid is getting paid by the store is between the kid and the store owner.
 
I'm gonna do it, I swear I'm gonna do it.

The local pizza place here in town has a tip jar next to the cash register. On it is a note, ''don't forget the tip.!!''

One of these days when the cashier reminds me to tip (for a take out order) I'm gonna reach into that jar and take out a dollar bill and stuff it in my pocket.

Minimum wage is up, inflation is out of control and prices everywhere have shot up skyward. Everything that is except my salary. Where is my tip for showing up to spend money.??

I thought you would tip (over) the jar.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around paying $4 for a cup of tap water and a few drops of syrup.

I hear you. But I did. But being on vacation, thirsty for a Diet Coke, hiding from the family members who were gift shopping, I’d probably do it again. And still complain about it.

(It was at Mackinac Island)
