... and I got nuthin'....

I can't imagine the tension in households where spouses disagree on what action to take today. It must be unbearable. I am blessed in many ways, and one of those ways is having a wife who can discuss options, pros, and cons with me politely and intelligently, and even agree to disagree amicably...

https://www.syracuse.com/news/2020/10/oswego-man-seriously-injured-when-car-hits-tree.html That's my nephew. A very nice, caring kid...with kids. Not looking for sympathy and responses not necessary...just would be eternally grateful for prayers for Sammy, his mother, his grandmother and...

While enjoying this morning's coffee, I've been perusing the Nov. issue of AOPA Pilot. On page 26, Richard McSpadden has an article entitled "Difficult Conversations," wherein he discusses when and how to initiate conversations with people whom he as observed making bad aeronautical decisions. I...

Ok...I broke the internet today and don't know where else to turn although I've sent an inquiry to the folks at West System... Our ancient, huge 8 person indoor built-in Jacuzzi-branded hot tub had two huge blisters in it. I ground them out today and have them drying out. Was planning on using...

My sister recently relocated from out west to within easy flying distance with my Cherokee. In looking for airports near her new residence, the closest one is described in the AF/D as 3315 x 50 feet / 1010 x 15 meters Surface: Asphalt in Poor Condition WIDE CRACKS & WEEDS ON RWY. I've landed...

I'm probably the last to this party, and I know there were some discussions earlier about some of this, so please forgive me for bringing this up again. My wife and I took a nice sight-seeing flight yesterday for a bit over an hour. I am ADSB-out/in equipped via a Stratus ESG, and used flight...

In another thread, the wizard for plane selection was mentioned. I just checked it out, and it's fairly useful although the prices listed seem awfully optimistic, meaning too low for what purchase prices seem to be these days. I entered my wishes/priorities, and it spit out pretty much the...

I'd like to start using my plane to visit my father who lives a few miles away from KHPN (Wetchester County, NY). VFR for now. There looks like there are three fbos on the field at five locations, and nased upon reviews I've found, Million Air seems to be the friendliest and most cost-effective...

Just wanted to let this out... A little over a year ago, I met a father and son A&P team that helped me with a few issues... leaking nosegear strut and clogged fuel tank vent tube.. and allowed me to assist. I liked working with them so much that I asked if they'd be willing to do this year's...

If I water my tomato plants with tomato juice, will my tomatoes be cannibals?

Had several people help me out a great deal here, and want to pay it forward a bit. Just installed a panel mount intercom in our plane and no longer want or need this. Runs on two 9 volt batteries or aux power input jack (don't have adapter). It always worked fine, but I got sick of the extra...

I know that's not an entirely polite question to ask, nor is it anyone's business, but my curiosity has been piqued by a few of the "what plane should I buy" and "can I afford...." threads. Folks finding out from lenders just how much the lender is willing to loan. Lots of, at least to me...

Under what circumstances would a certified airplane manufactured in the mid 2000s with 550TTAF also be 460smoh and 300spoh? That seems strange to me... red flag? Ad doesn't mention any damage history and states that all A/Ds have ben complied with.

I found this heavy round steel plate buried in a kitchen drawer with other accessories for a vintagey JennAir range after we bought our house years ago, and never got rid of it because I thought maybe it was important. I can't figure out what it's for, where it goes, or even IF it's for the...

Our story begins yesterday, when our wonderful elderly neighbor asked me if I could get her on Netflix so she could watch her granddaughter on some show called, "The Circle." Sure... happy to help.. I do remote support for my Dad's windows and android machines, manage a bunch of accounts for...

Just sort of thinking out loud here... Although I'm getting better at it, one of the things that's always been a challenge for me is relating what I see on a chart, whether paper or efb app, to what I see out the window distance-wise. For a long time, I was always looking way too far in the...

I'm pretty good at following directions, but not so great at inventing. Here's my setup, followed by what I'd like to do. Two years ago, I built a Hoverman antenna for over-the-air TV. I live in a fringe reception area, but have a very tall three story house. The antenna is indoors up at the...

I know this ain't exactly a Verizon support forum, BUT there's enough advanced techies and privacy advocates here that I figured this may just be the perfect place to ask the following questions... Against every fiber of my being, I broke down and bought a Moto G7 so that I'd have a hotspot...
