    WOW Close call with the CA fires

    Exactly. Back in 1989, the house I lived in was one that was destroyed by a wildfire. My roommates told me that they were given about 10 minutes to pack up and get out. They grabbed the cats and some clothes and that was all they had time for. I happened to be at a friends house, and got to...

    ABC News : "Passenger dies from Alaska Air plane crash"

    David was a friend to many of my co workers and the officers I work with. His wife, Erin, is a well liked school teacher. I didn't know either of them, but it was a shock when the call came in from the Alaska State Troopers for someone to go make notification. damn.

    NA - All wheel drive car and replacing tires

    Mine isn't quite that long, but its a ***** sometimes. Freezing rain can make the ride down better than Mr Toads Wild Ride. I keep a couple bags of cheap Walmart cat litter in the back of the AWD Vibe. Late spring will usually turn this into a skating rink. Good times. lol

    I've got a pair of Rx Oakleys. The only sunglasses I wear. Bifocal. Long distance on the top, panel/dash distance on the bottom. DO NOT do polarized.

    Rough day at work

    I play Fortnite for about an hour, then I dance around the house while listening to these guys: Saw them in San Diego, can't wait till they come back in October.

    AOPA closing forums

    Met my better half on the AOPA forums back in 1999. Was chatting with someone the other day about how Pete and I met. I think I kinda let her speechless when she says "What was it about him that that you liked?" My answer: "He owned two airplanes." hahaha I sent an email to AOPA three days...

    Flew a C177R Cardinal Yesterday for the First Time

    What a beauty! I've always lusted after a 177, especially an RG. Got my first and only ride in one many years ago when we took our Stinson to FL. Had to detour to Ocala because of nasty storms outside of Orlando. While Pete was finding a place to hangar the Stinson, I found a Cardinal out on...

    Is Roundup killing bees?

    There is a publication called "Good Fruit Grower" that I occasionally read. The March 15th issue had an article about a WSU researcher doing a study on Metarhizium, a fungal pathogen. that seems to show a bit of promise. Another WSU researcher is using a mushroom extract. It'll be...

    Your first solo IMC flight after passing checkride

    Well, it wasn't quite solo, it was with a non IFR rated PP in the left seat, and me in the right. It was about two months after my IFR ride. Unexpected weather in SoCal on a return from Bullhead City. I had never flown a Beech Debonair before and was a bit unfamiliar with it, so I told the...

    Honda’s Best Kept Secret?

    And its AWD!! Well I think I should put a down payment on one. Going to be kinda tight in there with all our clothes and stuff, considering we'd have to sell the house to afford it. hahaha

    Honda’s Best Kept Secret?

    We use the car to travel to MN and CA. When we stop for fuel, we don't linger. Fuel, pee, and we're gone. If we need to eat, we find a grocery store and pick up deli type stuff. No spending an hour or so at a restaurant (unless we're stopped for the night). And when your trying to get 1600...

    Honda’s Best Kept Secret?

    We have the cheapest electric rates in the country, thanks to the three hydro dams in our county. But my car has to have AWD and at least 275 minimum miles per tank/charge. Has to be able to tow a 4x8 trailer with roughly 800 lbs on the trailer. Has to be a small SUV style. And when I'm...

    Cessna 414 down in Yorba Linda

    right. Normally, one would continue their outbound course. You would hear the plane fade in, fly over, fade out as is continued eastbound. But it didn't. why?

    Cessna 414 down in Yorba Linda

    Its roughly the same distance from KFUL to the crash site as it is from my house to KEAT. Yet when I hear an aircraft flying over head, say, the Horizon flights from SEA to EAT, I can only hear the plane for about 15-20 seconds. Yet in the audio only clip, you hear the plane for almost 50...

    Sold Going out of business

    Pete said he would send a note to the guy that bought our 150. Unknown if he needs anything or not. Have you posted anything on the 150 boards or FB page?
