    I hate Ticketmaster

    I'm trying to buy tickets to a concert in SFO later this month. I have created a TicketMaster account, logged in, selected the tickets, now trying to pay for them. But wait! There's a second requirement where TicketMaster/LiveNation software sends a confirmation code to my cell phone. Nope. No...

    Cover for removed indicator

    The DME is dead. Wish it weren't I really like it better than trying to program the GPS. But it's dead and I'll remove it one of these days. Which means I'll have a hole in the panel (Narco 150 DME). On Spruce, all I see are the round covers for indicators. Where do I get something to cover the...

    Colorado New Years Eve Invite

    I hangar my cherokee at KCFO, about 35 sm from my house. Many times on New Years eve, some of us meet at KAPA for dessert (flourless choc cake at Perfect Landing) by flying from our respective airports to KAPA. So I drive 30 min each way to get the cherokee, preflight, fly 20 min to KAPA, have...

    Auto v Aviation fuel

    Unleaded around the Denver area is now below $3.00 yet avgas is still above $6.00. This makes no sense. Even the airports that traditionally had "lower" prices are right up there well above $6.00 even $7.00. (except for KFLY and KBJC). I'm beginning to wonder if this is kept artificially higher...

    Recording broadcast TV [NA]

    With the move to digital, my VHS is no longer useful. What can I use to record broadcast TV? Turns out that my digital TV does not have a USB or other output option, so it's got to be between the antenna (HDMI) and the TV.

    Strut collapsed

    Finally, two days free of work and great weather. Friday lunch, I headed to the hangar, stepped up on the starboard wing of the cherokee....clunk. big CLUNK! The port strut completely collapsed. Ok, so I'm not going flying today. May as well update the 175 database and load the car with the...

    Strange twitter/x

    All of a sudden (starting last night) I could no longer access twitter. Not twitter.com, not x.com, not clicking on a link to twitter, etc. Anyone else run into this, or have a solution. Yes, I've cleaned cookies and cache. Only difference is I spent 2 hrs getting rid of an ad redirect embedded...

    For Sale RAM Mount Stubby

    This is the unit that fits in a cup holder, has the ball to attach any of the RAM devices. I trimmed 1/8 inch off 2 of the 6 "wings" so it would fit into the odd cup holder in my car then discovered I prefer the iPad at eye level. Retail $34, it's yours for $15 plus $5 shipping. RAM Stubby...

    Rats....Ford recall

    Just got the notice about the possible engine fire, but of course, there's no recourse (parts) at this time. I'm not going to drive Denver-OSH RT with the open recall. No interest in getting stuck someplace in the middle. Everyone I've checked with either already has a ride (or is flying) or...

    Another disappointing ForeFlight change

    Colorado is in the beginning of its annual TStorm period. Previous versions of FF had direction lines with hashmarks that estimated location of the storm in 10, 20 and 30 min. Whether accurate or not it was a great indicator of the travel speed of the storm. Not any more, all we get now is a...

    N/A tire pressure in the car

    The tire sticker on the door states 33 psi when cold. So what are reasonable psi in the various situations: 1) cold weather but driving on the interstate for an hour 2) warm weather, driving in town for over an hour 3) really hot summer, driving anywhere!
