Danny MacAskill is no stranger to extreme mountain biking, and was featured in a series of road bike acrobatics with renowned cyclist Martyn Ashton a few years ago. This absolutely raises the bar. Riding on the top of a tennis net from one side to the other? Sheesh.

Just like it says. I challenge @Half Fast to find a day with no national holidays in it. Yes I am aware of January 16th.

My (author) website is in my signature. Here is the issue - it looks fine on desktops. It looks fine on phones. Squarespace does not have a tablet view, and when I pull up my website on my iPad, it looks mostly okay but the wave section separators do not match the adjoining section styles as...

@Ted will appreciate this. I'm wondering if he might try to do the same on one of his rides.

I'm missing something. It's probably something totally stupid and I'll kick myself after someone points it out. I'm having a brain fart and I can't figure it out. Refer to the sample W&B for a 172R. We end up with a total weight of 2450 lbs and a moment of 106.2 Kin-lbs. Fine. We go to the...

Long story short. Okay it is a short story. I have been invited to participate in an informal ground school, to present a specific topic. That topic is weight & balance. Note the graph below, for a 172R. Many people are familiar with that graph. In fact most people are, or another Cessna flavor...

I'm talking about the little green plastic bags with dog turds inside. I see them on the side of the road and trails all the time.

There are few Youtube videos that I will both focus my entire attention to, and watch to the end, and this is one of them. I've seen this guy's exploration videos before and some are pretty cool. This has to be the coolest. It's a covert mission to document the Minsk, a former Soviet aircraft...

So here is the dilemma. I had been informed that something came up and I'll be back late and by the way your dinner is the leftover meatloaf in the fridge. Outstanding. Awesome. We have had this discussion before, If I'm on my own for dinner, I will take care of it myself thank you. Now here is...

Birth date of one of the greatest inventions known to mankind.

I've never heard of it before. A very good friend of mine was just diagnosed with it. A cursory Internet search suggests that it's some really bad news. Anyone here have any personal experience with it? As in friends, family members, etc... having this condition? I guess it's like Alzheimer's...

Yeah. Bone Cold. The premise? Two special ops soldiers are sent on an assassination mission in Russia, kill the wrong guy, and an ape like monster chases them through snowy wilderness. Exactly what the connect is here I'm not sure, it seems to be a non-sequitur dual plot, but, let's roll with it...

Of the national (is that capitalized) emergency wireless notification system. I was out on a bike ride with two pilot friends of mine. Actually one pilot friend of mine and her husband and I know that sounds awkward but trust me it wasn't. Anyway, about 30 miles in to a 43 miler, um... we will...

Okay so my standard burger ride has me heading north from an older neighborhood into a huge, recently being overly developed urban sprawl residential area. In other words, California's rice fields now growing entitled yuppy offspring, and not at a large yield given the land mass involved. Well...

...except I think I identified it. So there I was... driving along the road on the way to the gym at zero dark thirty yesterday. Or maybe it was two days ago. Okay it was two days ago. I see this flashing green light in the sky. It's actually a pattern of two green lights. At first I think...

Many of us have memberships to various organizations and services. What is your most valuable one? EAA? AOPA? When I mean 'valuable' I mean the one that returns the most to you in a personal sense. And that could include philanthropy where you don't necessarily 'get' anything in return other...

Cara-bee-an, or ca-rib-bee-an?

I was on my burger ride. Burger Ride. As I was eating my burger, an electric semi truck in Pepsi colors parked along side and made a delivery. It was gone before I could finish, get cleaned up and check it out, but it passed me on the road back through a couple intersections and I could then...
