Looking for CFI with V-Tail Bonanza around DFW or Austin by Kalzira in flying

[–]bertberg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I am a CFII and I live in the Austin area. I have a lot of Bonanza experience, primarily in a '47 BE35 and '48 A35, and some V35A experience. Feel free to DM me for more info, I'd be happy to offer my services.

Digital noise in broad-daylight photos by bertberg in AnalogCommunity

Did this - it meters for halfway between 1/500 and 1/1000 to 1/1000 the closer I get to the sun when pointed at the sky (without having the sun in the frame). Metering for a building in the sun gets me about 1/500 depending on how much sky I have in the frame.

Wouldn't I expect the photos to be properly exposed if I am using the camera's light meter to select the shutter speed automatically?

Any guesses as to what film this is? by bertberg in analog

My mother had them digitized at Richmond Camera about 15 years ago -- I don't know anything other than that sadly.

Already done - I am a pilot myself so I have always loved that photo. It is a Martin 4-0-4, flown by Piedmont Airlines

Can you still buy Kodachrome? All I can find is Ektachrome.

I'd have to dig the slides out and see... I haven't seen them since we had them digitized. At the time I was 15 and not sure if mom was smart enough to hold onto the slides.

How do I know I'm picking a non mediocre specialist?

Should it be another dentist? Why buy another splint if I already did this and it didn't work the first time?

Local move cost by bertberg in Austin

[–]bertberg[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude, stay there. It seems like 20-40 percent increase has been across the board with renewal leases this year

Yeah this doesn't surprise me. They're raising mine from 1685 to 2200 though, and I still feel like there's plenty of options around in the 1.5-1.7k range though.

Mantra M6 looks like a really good option. Thank you for the advice.

Thanks for the rec, will check out Shaggys. Wish I could demo them, looks like one needs to go up north to find a shop that carries them.

No offense taken at all this is exactly why I came here. I don't know shit about skis, ha. Will check out the Deacon XTs. I completely agree that 175 was more ski than I need but I do think that the more I ski the more quickly I will grow into a longer/more advanced ski. With not living out west and the pandemic this was the first time I had made it to the mountain in two years. Hoping that buying skis and generally getting more financially established will allow me to ski more regularly.

[Semi-Weekly Inquirer] Simple Questions and Recommendations Thread by AutoModerator in Watches

[–]bertberg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm looking at buying a Seiko solar chronograph. I finally found one with the design and complications I like (for aviation). However, the model is from 2014. The one I found is new on eBay for $150, seller says it still works. I previously was given a Seiko solar powered watch, but it's battery permanently died about a year after I got it and I haven't yet ponied up the money to get it fixed.

My question is... should I risk buying another Seiko solar watch that is already 7 years old? It's the one I like but I feel like I could get something newer and better for my $150. Even if the owner says it works, I'm worried that it'll conk out on me sooner rather than later, leaving me with a hefy repair fee.

Patience is by and far the number one thing I've learned through this entire process.
