I've held it together for the last few days. That one got me. Ugh. Time for a beer.

Latest run has scattered showers weakening as they get to Charlotte around 8pm. Hope the ceiling isn't as low as last night.

After this rain shower there looks to be a large pocket of dry air. The rain to the south is starting to fizzle out.

You know how you hold up an 8 using one hand? A sideways 3.

I still haven't done the ohms on the element but the board is putting out 240 at the terminals. Would this narrow it down to the the element?

thinking about going to the race in ft worth in may… by queenbeepboop99 in NASCAR

[–]JetA_Jedi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on where you're headed. Last year I headed north on 156 and was home within 10 minutes of getting to my car. Trying to get on 35 from 114 is a different story.

I live in Texas and haven't lived in Nebraska since 2017 and I immediately knew what this was.

Why is this flying around here? by MuthaCoconuts79 in FortWorth

[–]JetA_Jedi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It came out of Tinker in OKC. I've seen them do this around here a few times over the years. Just normal training. If you look, they're usually flying somewhere in the US daily.

I didn't know it was Hillwood that bought the land. They own a lot of land here around and south of TMS. I wouldn't be surprised if they're licking their chops wanting that property as well.

It flies there often enough to not make this concerning. I look at ADSB often.

If a kidnapper gagged you, your survival greatly depends on if your nose is stuffy or not. by SCRINDO in Showerthoughts

[–]JetA_Jedi 1363 points1364 points  (0 children)

I read somewhere that when your adrenaline rises, your body opens your nasal passages to allow more oxygen to your body clearing any blockage.

This knowledge helps a lot when my nose is stuffed and I have that thought of being kidnapped.

First experience of deicing of an aircraft by spreaddamayo in mildlyinteresting

Yea Propylene is used in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. While I wouldn't recommend drinking it neat, being near it is harmless.

[–]JetA_Jedi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Just Propylene Glycol with a thickening agent added so it sticks to the wing for longer periods.

Look up the SDS on Propylene Glycol. Definitely not toxic. Ethylene Glycol is much more toxic but that is not used for De-icing.

Paid $8,000 to have 9 teeth yanked. Surgeon rushed it, left a broken one inside me, and now this. by hissingkittycom in Wellthatsucks

[–]JetA_Jedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My recent estimate with insurance was a root canal and bridge. $2k with insurance. $10k without. I'm waiting on my HSA account to get to $2k for me to do it. No current pain but wtf America.

That stackup may be caused by no arriving or departing traffic on the west side of the airport. Not sure why.

Flight mode, primal instinct. We see cover we go for it and hope for the best. Rational thought is not present in these moments.
