    [NA] Plumbers or educated DIY’ers: water leak detection ?

    My wife’s Uncle has a house on an island which we frequent. I do a lot of maintenance on the house as the relatively young one, for the privilege of staying there. Water is supplied via cisterns. It seems (to me) that Man Friday got baked and left a hose running, draining 2/3rds of the water...

    [NA] Weird new credit card fraud thing? [/NA]

    Someone bought a pretty cool outdoor pizza oven for $900, and a WTF Gucci Fanny pack for $865 on my credit card that was replaced only 30 days ago due to a lost card. They used one of my Daughter’s burner email accounts (she is an authorized user on that particular credit card). Goofy thing...

    [OT] ID the language these characters belong to?[OT]

    The characters on top have to do with Blue Lotus (I know the symbol on the bottom represents that), I think, but no idea about the origin?

    Static on limited frequency range?

    All of a sudden, the LED nav lights are causing static on GTR200 #1 between 121.725 and 127.775 (none noted on GTR200 #2). Was there not a discussion about that here sometime ago? Tried some keyword searches but no luck. Just trying to minimize my troubleshooting time, thanks.

    Heads up: Lots of 'local' rent-a-car locations closing!

    I went to pick up an airplane today, utilizing a one-way Enterprise rental. Both 'local' offices on either end of the trip were closing UFN at the end of the business day. And apparently the National corporate office is selling off a lot of the vehicles, the first car I was promised was sold...

    Ironclad Strip and Paint Contract?

    I remember someone posted a pretty good example somewhere, was it here? Or does anyone have a good example? Not looking towards litigation, just want something to eliminate most of the bumps with other's lessons learned.

    [NA] Eff Feedback [NA]

    I am so sick of the 'if you are pleased . . .' emails from vendors, 'please help us provide . . .' pop ups, and just tonight, a 'one of our anesthesiologists recently . . .' robocall! On the rare occasion when I have participated, I have actually been verbally harassed by a CSR for my stance...

    Want To Buy Garmin GPS 400

    Patiently waiting for a suitable one to pop up on eBay, but thought I'd see if anyone has a line on one from a trusted source. WAAS not needed nor necessarily in the budget just yet, but I'd entertain a WAAS unit at the right price.

    Strange RAM issues

    I have a 2013 P75-A7200 that is my everyday device. Got to a point where it would not consistently boot, and someone suggested a motherboard issue. So I picked up an identical one on eBay thinking I'd just swap hard drives and be on my way. Then I discovered the dark magic that is Windows...

    What turns on a USB battery pack?

    So I am doing a semi-permanent installation of my Stratux in my RV. I am using this battery that has pass-through capability. But if I leave the battery pack plugged in always to the Stratux, I will start each flight with no battery backup, which is no bueno since I am using the Stratux AHRS...

    Great training flight today!

    After a pretty good workout knocking six months of rust off by doing some 15 knot crosswind landings at an uncontrolled field, we did some communication refresher by going around the pattern at a towered field, and then started heading back home. "My throttle!" Things got quiet real fast. But...

    Cell phone help, please.

    Due to my deep woods main residence, I have Verizon as they are the only reliable signal throughout the house. Also, only have 3.0 dsl available, so I use the Verizon LTE to supplement my bandwidth via FoxFi hotspot (grandfathered unlimited data). I now spend a decent amount of time in the US...
