    I hate saltwater taffy

    it's sticky, it's overly sweet, it's unpleasant feeling in the mouth. You know what I love? raisins. I eat a lot of raisins, when I was a kid, a lady used to give out little boxes of rasins at halloween. I used to trade all my laffy taffy and other sticky plaisticized treats for my friends raisens.

    Tums

    Can we all take a minute and thanks the creator of tums? These things work, maybe it's a brain effect, the Placebo effect, or whatever. But i couldn't get trough a night of going to the fast food joints with my buddy's and then night flying, without them.

    Musicians...

    I am one, and I have been playing with my cousin awhile, he's a guitar player I play bass. He's a good guitar player, he's just, a total Douchebag. Today we were playing "peg" a steely dan tune.

    Led headlights. (Rant alert)

    these need to be banned. I'm a 21 year old, and hardly have the tired worn out eyes of a 60 year old. I still feel worried about the damage these selfish jerks are causing me when they pop on there high beams right in my face using these damn lights. The lights alone are probably detrimental to...

    Constant speed props?

    Hello all, the instructors at the airport I fly out of are wanting me to try out a constant speed propeller aircraft. I've never flown in one. Any tips on them? What's it like setting engine power and RPM's separately? Any issues I should know about?

    What's your favorite Video game?

    I myself like Hotline Miami. It's the kind of game that you vent stress when you play. It's a game where you get criptic phone calls and go to the location, and just kill a bunch of Russian or Columbian gangsters, the more savagely you do so the more points you are awarded. It's, somtimes I feel...

    What does this mean?

    On this site I see profiles always have a tag line underneath them. Mine says "Pre takeoff checklist" When it comes to actual piloting, I know what that means. What does it mean on this site?

    The city at night.

    anybody else really love to fly over a buzzing city when it's dark out? This was the experience that lanched my love for aviation. It gives me chills. I can always hear David Crosbys "what's broken" in my head and I get numb!
