I haven't flown in couple years due to the economy but I'm starting to get a little ahead and want to get ready to do a some flying. For the first time since getting my certificate in 1980 I also let my medical lapse. I am a type 2 diabetic (had my class III with it before with no problems)...

Here is a link to some pictures a guy took of an amphibian (lake?) doing a gear up on a runway.. beside a river. I wonder if they didn't use the water way due to the rowing. Gear Up

I've just been promoted to vice president of my company (yay me! - wait, no raise... oh well).... and one of my areas is integrating old manual systems into the new (to them) computer world. Don't ask why it took so long, I've only been here 2 years... anyway.. One of the problem areas...

I'm about to replace an old cheap dell network 12 port switch that was pressed into service when the HP 24 port switch was maxed out. We moved the switches around (always makes me cringe when you move something thats been sitting for years) added 2 extranal network drives that filled up the 12...

I went up Saturday evening in a skyhawk to do some pattern work and get night current. Winds were 22+ knots, but right down the runway. This skyhawk has a fairly new engine (maybe 200 hours on it I think) and power flow exhaust so It's got a little more umph at the moment. Started with...

I've been running the medical gauntlet since last spring when I was diagnosed with sleep apnea. I finally got my Medical back in January, only to be diagnosed the next day with type 2 diabetes and a lazy thyroid by my regular doctor at a follow up from a December physical. The diabetes is well...

Hi folks, It's been awhile. I've been out of aviation due to medical problems but I'm working on getting back in the air. Anywho.... I need to determine where some tv cable goes in my house. It was pre-wired for cable/satellite tv but the one in the bonus room doesn't seem to have a...

1. If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go, because, man, they're gone. 2. If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them own? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason." 3. To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks...

My 10 year old 46" RCA projection TV toasted another power supply last night. It'll probably cost 3-400 bucks to fix it and I'm thinking of buying a new tv. I see that Circuit City has a 42" ESA EDTV monitor for 1399 (1499 with 100 rebate) It has pretty good reviews by people that have bought...

Saturday I played paintball with my son at a woods feild. One of the scenarios was called the slaughterouse. My team got to defend a small 2 story fort with one rule- we weren't allowed to leave. When the other team started to attack it got really chaotic. Paintballs flying everywhere...

I love it when I have a plane for the evening and no destination. Hmmmm... fly to Myrtle Beach or Ocean Isle for some sea food? Maybe Hickory for a quick bite at the cafe? Land at a couple of airports I've never been too? Practice procedures - slow flight, shoot some approaches with...

Took my son and 5 friends to a woods paintball field today for 4 hours of battle. I had only seen the speedball stuff on tv and it didn't interest me at all, bt this looked fun. Still, being dressed in shorts and a t shirt I don't think I better try it so I just watched and talked with the...

I've finally gotten all the pc's hooked up to the network.(except for the macs) We need some kind of messaging tool, preferably free and preferably something that is not internet dependant. (if the internet connection is down, we still need to talk) I have win 98, 2000 and XP systems so it needs...

I hate car shopping, but I must admit the internet has taken a lot of the frustration out of it. We had to sell my company suburban :( when things got tight so my wife and I bought a honda odessy and I took over the 97 960 volvo. Volvos are good cars and fun to drive but they are just...

Can the wording on the "request read reciept" dialogue be changed to OK or NO? Ok and cancel makes me wonder if I'm canceling the message. Just a suggestion. I love being on the user end for once. NOw I can play dumb! :dance:
