    When the wife wants you to sell the plane...

    Had to sell the plane when we bought the current house. Haven't owned since, and now it's been many years since I've piloted due to layoffs and what not. Real life, real choices. Still like looking up the sky when I hear an engine overhead.

    Can the TSA detect Gallium?

    Component in CIGS solar cells. We worried more about the selenium. Plus there were a few other really nasty items used in the deposition process.

    177 down Torrance SoCal

    Flown in and out a few times to visit a client, going east there's not much. Maybe they were trying for Crenshaw.

    If you couldn’t fly...

    Have had to be on the "outside" for a number of years. Simple finance; multiple layoffs, home and family expenses, impending college bills. Just can't pull that much out the family budget for just my enjoyment. Plenty of things to fill the time though, oldest is an eagle scout so I did the...

    Silicon Valley Area Parks

    It's a really great spot, if you hike up the hills you see down to the coast or back into the valley. Good time to go, off season and mid week, must have been empty.

    Silicon Valley Area Parks

    I would have suggested Castle Rock, closer, some nice trails. Hard to go wrong in the area, camped with my son's Boy Scout Troop in several of them.

    Bananas on a boat superstition

    Funny just ran across this same thing last week on a scuba live aboard. Was lamenting the the lack of bananas for breakfast and was given the stern warning about bring them on-board. I had never heard of this before, was told the story about the spiders killing crew etc, but on the end it...

    Will Medical Reform Get You Back In The Air?

    Yes, it was one more obstacle to getting back in the air. "Hey I'll think I'll go for the BFR, oh no, first have to do a medical first; wear reading glasses now, had that doctors appointment, old AME is out of business, never mind..." You know the drill.

    Please! Help me lower my cable bill.

    The obvious is switch to internet only. Even with hulu, netflix and amazon prime plus internet we are ahead of the cable package we used to have. Most folks put up a digital antenna for local channels. We don't bother. Unfortunately, Comcast is still the only fast broadband option in my...

    Best fast food burger?

    In and Out by a mile. Fresh ingredients, clean well run operations, and even when packed a rapid turnaround. As mentioned up thread the customer service is incredible. Ordered a burger well done for the wife when she was expecting our second, took it home and it wasn't done correctly. Sent an...
