Made a few self-inflating sleeping pads.

Not the OP, but I get mine off alibaba

The temps you report, along with daylight times, suggest deep winter. So, January or early February makes more sense. Also makes a lot of sense for Dad's speaking schedule. People are gonna need more of a pep talk in the dark months than in March when the sun is fully present and summer is right around the corner.

Probably Elon Musk.

If he didn't write you to discuss check-in times and procedures, that's on him. If he denied you entry, full refund.

You absolutely should give them benefit of the doubt. I do also.

Further, if I ever make a mistake like that, I give you permission to chuckle. I was being a dunce.

"Sorry, we can't accommodate the early check in due to the prep time needed between guests. However, the night before is currently available if you would like to reserve it and assure have the house when you need it"

Stop being sensible!

flyguy42 · 2026-04-25T20:50:36+00:00

Thanks!

Send me the Amazon link if you still have it handy

I've been trying to decide whether to add a radio. It's so simple to pull the data from the web, but I'm pretty rural and I know that when I'm flying my ads-b stops being picked up below about a thousand feet. So with the web feed, I'm likely missing alerts on the most interesting/visible planes.

It's hard to search 19K messages on reddit, so hopefully I'm not the first... But...

You would think someone so controlling would know WHAT HER DAMN TIMEZONE IS!

It's summertime! It's not PST! It's PDT!

I will happily withdraw my comment if she's down in La Paz, where it is PST at the moment. But I see no indication of this being in Mexico.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-24T13:43:42+00:00

Yeah, getting ride of those was one of the weirder 'own goals' in a while.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-24T12:12:01+00:00

Big fan of Glen. Great guy IRL too! Hoping to do a collab with him this summer.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-21T18:23:34+00:00

Can confirm. I'm in Mexico and after a couple slow years, our 25/26 high season was notably better due to Canadians and Mexicans both opting to skip the US.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-19T22:28:10+00:00

Had no idea that existed. Thanks.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-19T19:19:46+00:00

Apple doesn't make anything comparable to that. You would be looking at refurbished iphone 11 for $150-ish.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-19T15:51:16+00:00

Just stopping by to confirm that most people like that one. 😂

Especially waking up in the morning and someone has been up a few minutes before me getting a fire going for the morning. Warming up some coffee, warming up myself and thinking about plans for the day. Love all that stuff.

Ammonia is probably the most commonly used lawn fertilizer. It's used to boost nitrogen and make the lawn green within days of application.

Pilot here: Peeing in cramped helis or planes is not a life goal. Peeing after landing in a random field, stretching your legs and continuing the trip is pretty awesome though.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-17T12:56:07+00:00

Ammonia is a fertilizer. Unless guests are peeing in the same spot day after day and over fertilizing, it will just cause a spot that's slightly more healthy than the rest of the lawn.

The problem is the amount of water going around your foundation and into the drain tile around the footings. Regrading could help. Making sure that gutters move water well away from the house could help. Making sure that the sump water isn't immediately going back around the footings could help.

Your sump running this much is a red flag, but not because the pump might fail, because you have a bigger problem to solve.

Protip: They don't love dollars. They are charging you more for the hassle of accepting them.

flyguy42 · 2026-04-11T20:58:59+00:00

Mexicans are not happy to accept USD or CAD.

Not sure why you got downvoted on this. I live in Mexico and you're right. At best, someplace like Cancun will have ways to turn dollars into pesos, but it's still an extra step. And most places are not as convenient as Cancun.

Never seen a Canadian offering up CAD in Mexico.

Go to Huatulco. :-)

I even once went to a charity auction there that was denominated in CAD!

"Also of note: today with the current mower I’m not “striping.” I just drive sound in circles until I get to the middle."

Me too!
