    Ho Ho Ho

    Wow. That's awesome! I'm sure a lot of people (myself included) assumed that what you put in the box might not necessarily be what makes to the recipient. I'm a process & logistics guy, so I always think about how to maintain standardization in a high volume pack-out process like this, but...

    Ho Ho Ho

    I'm curious - how much resorting typically happens between boxes? I would assume there is a lot of variation in the quality of contents between boxes - do you guys sort that out on the fly or does it get dumped into a communal pile and boxes repacked from scratch? Our church was a local...

    SeriusXM Question

    There used to be a website called "Project Playlist". I think it became or was acquired by Pandora. It was great at building related playlists. I looked at some of their "Why we chose this song for you" notes and it talked about stuff like "melodic guitar overlaying building orchestral...

    SeriusXM Question

    My wife and I had this same discussion on our 14+ hr drive over Thanksgiving. Back when I was running Ag equipment 16+ hrs/day 20 years ago, I got tired of the repetitive local FM playlists (heck, even the sports radio talk shows bantered on the same topics day after day) so I picked up XM (back...

    Savannah

    Only been in/out of SAV a couple of times GA, but used Sheltair both times and they were good with our RV-10. Also had several other bug smashers on the ramp and didn't seem put off by it at all. Didn't use rental car, but they seem to have enough traffic coming in through there that I'm sure...

    Thinking about a Bus/RV

    Just out of curiosity, have you run it across a scale yet? I've always wondered what those things weigh in at. I don't think you have to have a CDL to drive it if 'not for hire', right?

    IFR refresher study material c.2023?

    That's a valid point. Luckily, I have been flying behind 'glass' since day 1, starting with Dynon D-10 on the IR checkride and AFS-4500's since then. Definitely need to polish up on screen flow specific to approaches, etc. though. I do try to go through the button clicks even when flying VFR to...

    IFR refresher study material c.2023?

    Haven't been IFR current in a few years now and want to get back on the saddle. Have a couple of nights per week where I'm sitting in the truck for an hour or so waiting for the kiddos to get done with some sort of activity, so I figured I should probably put the time to good use. Anybody have...

    Lewiston, ME

    It's interesting how this board has been around long enough that there has basically been slow roll-over of folks that used to be heavily active (you and I included) to a new herd of folks that are more active here. I expect there could be many Sociology/Psychology papers written in the future...

    downsizing to an RV 7A

    Carrying clubs would be tough without the mod that Kyle mentioned. Unless you're solo, then you can fold the pax seat down forward and have the clubs laying from back to front. Also as mentioned, 500nm trips would be a breeze. The thing I really appreciate about the RVs is that you can get up...

    Another IT guy lost to Aviation

    Ha. I always use "Management by in-flight magazine", but that one works, too. I worked for a guy 15 years ago that literally came into the office one day and told our IT manager (who I worked for) "Hey, I read this magazine article on my flight yesterday about something called 'Second Life'...

    Another IT guy lost to Aviation

    At least it wasn't "I have 500 hours but I fly like a 50 hour pilot"

    Previously Owned Aircraft--Do you stalk them?

    I'm glad to see that airplane stalking is 'normal'. Dad sold the RV-7A (first plane we built) recently. I had to disable FlightAware notifications for it b/c it made me sick to see it flying knowing that it wasn't me or dad in it. Unfortunately, it remained local so I wouldn't be surprised to...

    I feel like this thread is a brain dump of useless information.

    Chinese Food

    I thought I liked Chinese food until I visited the food court area of Little China in Singapore. Turns out I probably lean more toward "Chinese" food than actual Chinese food. I wasn't brave enough to try the stuff they were selling. Also, I was solo, so no hope of someone rescuing me with meds...

    Solution: More cameras

    Some of this 'crowd sourced imaging' is already happening via LEO Flock cameras capturing license plates on-the-fly. Facial recognition would be easy to add - even my Blue Iris DIY home camera system has an AI feedback loop that is doing object recognition - I just don't have the hi-res camera...

    Thinking about a Bus/RV

    If our drive yesterday was any indication of demand - make sure it gets listed anywhere along I-81/I-40 from Roanoke, VA to Knoxville. TN. Good grief at the RVs of all shape, sizes, and skill of operation on that interstate yesterday!

    [NA] Road trip stop suggestions - north GA to central VA

    Oh man.. Why didn't I think of Mayberry! That one is close to the top of the list now!
