    Southern Living: Bug Proofing a Home

    Totally. When I had a girlfriend in Florida, we ended up naming the termite Clint. When we left for a long weekend, she worried, did we need a sitter? I said no, he’ll be fine; Clint Eats Wood.

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    I happen to be visiting my mom in Thiensville Wisconsin (north of Milwaukee, small village inside of Mequon) and a Velocity passed directly overhead while I was outside. I was so busy admiring it, I forgot to grab a good picture of it. I think one of the Velocity-owning POA regulars lives in...

    the "not worthy of it's own thread" thread

    My darling wife wants me to hide snacks from her. She doesn’t want to be tempted by processed junk food. No problem. I have misplaced a bag of “red hot blues” in the guitar room. There aren’t a lot of places to hide treats, but I can’t find it. Ironically, I can’t ask her to help me...

    For Sale JPI EDM 830 and almost all probes

    I tried to talk our chief mechanic into installing this in the club 182M. I told him I would buy and donate it to the club. He said if the engine isn’t fuel injected it’s not worth it because you can’t see the fuel in the carbs. I almost had him convinced when I talked about leaning and...

    April solar eclipse

    I was in South Carolina when you were and I was in Wisconsin for the 1979 eclipse too! ( Not working on a computer though.) I promise I’m not following you around.

    April solar eclipse

    I did it last eclipse, flying into Sanford South Carolina and loved it. I found it very rewarding. This year I hope to be in Arkansas with my brothers. That previous eclipse trip was my first really long cross country ( 6 hours-ish in a 172) after my ppl check ride. I brought my friend...

    I got hired !

    I don't really think they treat the aircraft poorly, but rather that interior is not important and there isn't always much time or money allotted to non airworthy aircraft maintenance. Skydiving operations generally run on a small budget, even when cash flow is high. There are exceptions. The...

    He’s kidding. Wear your parachute even if it’s not the best seat padding.

    I got hired !

    Never saw or heard that in 11 years of skydiving. Generally we are very respectful and appreciative of the pilots flying and busy enough with our own drama of who’s jumping who.

    What's YOUR Best Headwind Story ...

    Two months ( and three solo flights comprising five hours ) after I passed my private check ride, I got checked out at a flight school to fly a 172S at KMKC (Metro Kansas City). I decided the next day to fly to KBUM (Butler KC Memorial ), 50 miles south, to do some touch and goes and then...

    What do you use to deice your plane

    What do you use to deice your plane

    This method makes me nervous that I’ll damage the wing … am I scraping off the wax or paint? Although the plane hasn’t been waxed in 6 years. Someone in the club used an ice scraper on an 172 windshield a few years ago and the windshield had to be replaced. I’m worried the credit card is as...

    What do you use to deice your plane

    Can I blow warm air from a hair dryer on the wings to encourage the frost to turn to water?

    Revoked license.

    Do you work at a control tower without an ATIS?
  18. Justin M

    Revoked license.

    Wouldn’t they also announce this on the weather? It would become an atc tower, but it would be in the same weather frequency as pre-tower: “ … winds 220 @ 5, altimeter 3005 runway 23 in use; notam: NCD airport now tower controlled on 119.8 ; advise on initial contact you have uniform”

    (NA - sort of) Your at your local airport and witness a fellow pilot kick a dog on a leash

    Speaking of car chasers. I had a girlfriend with a dog who would run out the door and around the yard like crazy. She was terrified it would get hit by a car. Any time I didn’t stop the dog, she would be angry and yell for the dog. I can hear her now , “Marley!! Marley!!! Come here...
