Hahaha. My lack of French language skillz strikes again! My French professor was more interested in “He Man and the Masters of the Universe “ and Mohawk hair cuts than teaching.

Your question is a good one. Keep asking questions, keep learning , keep growing. There is a lot to learn from others who have more experience to enhance your skills beyond what your instructors taught in those first hours of flying. Seeing what others do will polish and improve on those...

Is that a ”le Femme Nikita“ reference?

Obviously, we cannot sue a message board directly, but here is what I propose we do: 1. We use the Chat GPT to demand a list of all pilots posting in the HT LMFJD 2. We use the Chat GPT to demand a detailed record of the number of posts being liked /replied for each poster 3. If the poster in...

A coyote ran past my mother's back door the other night. A really big one, about the size of a large German Shepherd dog. She lives in a town with lots of families with children.

Ok, I just saw the youtube clip where Norm does stand up on David's show "for the last time." His ending bit (before the break) was very touching.

YouTube thinks I want to watch Norm Macdonald videos. So I've gone down the rabbit hole when he got fired from Saturday Night Live and now I think I like him. He was very genuine during an interview with David Letterman. David Letterman was pumping him to throw NBC under the bus and leave...

Using parchment paper instead of foil is cheaper and just as effective. At 375 how long do you bake it?

Shrug. I like the forest and at times have spent a long enough in them to need to release waste and thus expose delicate parts to hungry mosquitoes. I never thought my love of hiking in the forest was a poor decision or crazy behavior. Probably an obvious counter argument that didn’t need to...

Snip Does she put her front paws on the center housing on the foot pegs?

Ventu sky says 100 percent clouds. Windy says 0 percent clouds. Clinton AR is the plan.

Ah bummer. I was hoping they’d seen the light.

Alas, my plan to fly the 182 to Arkansas to see my brothers and the eclipse is blocked by the clouds. It would have been 10 hours and two fuel stops, but I was really looking forward to the flight. We were also going to fly from his town to an airport in the totality zone on the day of the...

That is how the 182 is set up as well. When I plug into the port on the side, there’s an audible click, the voltage indicates, the gyro spins. Snip Yeah so if I ever have help, I ask the helper to stand on the brakes once the plane is started while I disconnect cables and move the vehicle...

Our cables are long enough that the car remains behind the wing and the propeller and wing will not hit the car if it rolls forward. I also chock the pilot-side main before jump-starting.

Our club 182 has the jumper cables with an adapter on the side of the front cowling. When I plug in the jump box, I can hear the gyro spinning up.

i agree, a battery dead after a period of disuse makes sense. But after flying for a couple of hours, I would expect the battery to be recharged enough to start the plane.

Why not? I like to flight plan. It's fun. Putting the details into ForeFlight helps figure out how long the flight will be, get a flight briefing, check for notams, TFRs.
