Flew out of Juneau today 8:30 am departure. 6:30 am I got stuck in long term parking lot because they have not cleared the lot of snow and ice, and I have a 4x4 truck. No one at airport could help me out. They said call a tow truck!!! Found a shovel and spent 1 hour trying to dig out, no luck...

Hi everyone, I'm very disgusted with my home printer. It's an HP1510 laser jet. Don't get me wrong it prints fine but the cost of ink is crazy. I think its over $60 to replace the color and black cartridges. Probably bought ink so far that totals 3 or 4 times the new cost of the printer. What...

3 Fire Bombers came thru Juneau this weekend. They were operated by Bridger Aerospace, https://bridgeraerospace.com/ Did not talk to the flight crew but I bet they are headed North to help out with the wildfires. Looked like a very interesting aircraft.

Well with all the good weather here in Juneau this summer I have been painting the house and decks. Yesterday I painted the rear deck with a semi transparent stain and don't like the color. The stain turned out to red. It was a redwood semi transparent stain. Question, has anyone had luck...

Two friends ditched a Stinson close to shore and were rescued today. I'm happy both are in good spirits after there ordeal. Both are great guys and take safety very seriously, that is most likely why they survived the ditching...:)...

I lost vision in my right eye in 2020. Over the past 9 months I have been relearning how to land. I had my FR signed off after spending a several hours with a CFI relearning how to land with the loss of depth perception. My question to other mono vision pilots is what do you do to compensate...

Wondering if anyone has experience writing their own Will without a lawyer. I would think if you write a Will and get it notarized that should be all you need to do. I guess it depends on the state you live in and how the laws are set up. Again guessing I would think the Alaska laws would...

So the topic states it in short. Can I fly from Juneau to the lower 48 on Basic Med? If I fuel in Ketchikan and make 1 stop in Port Hardy, Canada is it legal? The last time I traveled that way I stayed behind a fenced area. No customs reporting. Just fuel and a pee break. Can I do that under...

Wondering how much snow a roof will hold before it is damaged? We probably have 18 to 24 inches on the roof now. 2 story house no way for me to get up and shovel it off.

Wondering when I should retire.. I'm 64, house is almost payed for. -Should I use money from IRA or 401K to pay the balance on the house? -To get full benefits from social security I would need to wait to age 66 and 8 months. The difference between taking SS now and at age 66 is about...

For the last several years we have done an aged prime rib bone in for Christmas dinner. Wondering if this year we should do the prime rib with out the bones this year. My sons wife is a butcher and can get the bone in at cost so that is an advantage. Just wondering if it is worth the extra...

Work rant, they cut my hours by 1 hour a day so the folks that fly out after their shift can catch a flight instead of spending the night in a motel and taking a flight out in the morning. 400 employees about 80% fly in to work. I take a boat to work every day, to and from. The airlines...

Have a friend that is selling a 1974 C-182. Clean plane, steam gauges, older radios. I think you could pick it up for $90,000. I'll post his add later today. Hangered most of it's life. Can also take pics and post if anyone is interested. edit: plane is off the market for now

Sad for the fact that a Cesena Caravan is most likely totaled. Happy no one was injured. Went to the airport to set up the hangar I just moved into and found all sorts of support crew removing the Caravan. Weather was not the best gusting 30kts+. I have no Idea on what happened. Runway was...

Looking for new Laptop. What do I need to search for? Memory, processor, ??? I'm good with wrenches not so good in the computer world. Thanks Bill B

Ran into this young woman today on the field. She is 19 and is flying solo around the world. There were 4 or more folks trying to help her out. I guess she ran into some strong turbulence. They were trying to figure out why her ailerons were not symmetrical. One is slightly higher than the...

Wondering about cell phone battery life. Not sure how it is determined. What is the best practice to get the longest life out of the battery? Who never shuts down your cell phone and just keeps recharging it? Is it best to shut down overnight or does that even matter? I know large swings in...
