    Am I too big to be a CFI?

    I'll add my recommendation for a in-ear headset. I have a A36 which is not great on headroom and the in-ear helped for that. I used to be 235 and my CFII had about 80lb on me. We had to throw 50lb into the baggage compartment to remain within forward CG.

    Am I too big to be a CFI?

    That's actually less of an issue as the pointy stuff is at eye level and folks at 6'5" are used to ducking things like door jambs and light fixtures.

    You have another 2in on me. I found that the Cessna products, even the 152 was good on headroom. Payload wise you should be able to take pretty much any student in a 172. You may rub shoulders. Best would be a 182, just not many people who will pay to train in one of those.

    Teach me about wireless bridge.

    Prob better off with 2.4 if you have any shrubbery in the path. At times, those kind of setups work in the winter and get wonky once stuff greens up or needles get wet or covered with dew. There are some bridge products that are on proprietary bands so they don't have a interference issue with...

    Teach me about wireless bridge.

    Yes. 2.4 is also better through drywall. But building to building with a clear line of sight that should not matter. If the OP lives in a place with 250ft between metal buildings, I would assume that 2.4 band congestion is not an issue (I live in a apartment complex where it is).

    Teach me about wireless bridge.

    5.8 has nominally a higher bandwidth. If the traffic goes from your barn is to the Internet, that doesn't matter as your speed is governed by the ISP connection.

    RSV vaccine

    TLDR on the covid detour As an asthmatic, you don't want RSV. This used to be a virus that was only a threat to young kids who had damaged lungs from premature birth and to severely immunocompromised adults. This has changed, the brand of RSV that has been going around in the past year has...

    Favorite coffee

    Just to pick up on that. I don't have any of their fancy machines that allow you to adjust temps and contact time, but I did get their 'Cup One' machine that does exactly what the name says. It makes 1 10oz cup using a little #1 filter. I find that doe me personally, 'freshly brewed' and 'hot'...

    Alec Baldwin shoots and kills cinematographer.

    Would appear to be the correct charge for all involved. Their reckless conduct ended with someone dead.

    Texas fires

    The fire itself is part of the grass savannah ecosystem. The losses are all manmade structures.

    Why is my mechanic so against a turbo?

    Had the same plane as a turbo and as a NA (A36TC vs. A36). - Engine is far more reasonable to overhaul on the NA - Maintenance on anything behind the engine is much easier without all the tubing - Better mpg for the NA - The difference in speeds was not transformational. You can burm more fuel...
