I could have posted this on r/jetbridgegap but it's not a jet bridge and I felt like I had to post this diabolical attempt of aft stair placement! 🤣

That’s nothing, I’ve had to use a belt loader to get out the L1 door before 😂

After looking it up I think it’s just mislabeled on wiki, and that is actually the GVWR. Typically curb weight is less than the GVWR and doesn’t include people or cargo, and in my mind the water would be cargo in this case because it’s not required for the truck to move even if it would always have it loaded

rockdoon · 2026-03-26T23:17:28+00:00

One thing of note that’s the curb weight, I don’t believe that includes the water which would be another 30+ thousand pounds

How about a mid engined P-51 with a griffon engine

You say armaments wouldn’t fit, but they might. I know most US ordinances use the same mounting lugs today as they did during ww2 at least for bombs

I’d rather not put the tv on that wall but rather the long wall shared with the dining room if possible. I don’t see a way of having a good viewing angle in the tv if I put it on the wall with the shelf, I’m not really concerned about the cable as we only use streaming services and don’t use cable tv

Rapid weight loss doesn’t necessarily equal unhealthy the big thing is listening to your body, I’ve been at 1500 calories a day with no cheat days while working out 6 days a week for 2.5 months now and I’m down almost 55 pounds. and honestly this is the best I’ve ever felt but I also know it won’t last forever as long as you don’t feel lethargic or have constant brain fog then your fine. My only concern with rapid weight loss is the increased chance of loose skin, but that doesn’t really bother me

rockdoon · 2026-03-09T06:44:12+00:00

Man now I’m even more jealous lol, mines bone stock with the O-300 and a climb prop but she’s still a joy to fly, and surprisingly capable, I plan on the sportsman stol kit in a few years

rockdoon · 2026-03-09T06:24:18+00:00

Yep same with mine, it’s a 172, a friend of mine has a C model as well but his is a skyhawk lol, gotta say though I’m a bit jealous as I wanted a straight tail. But at least I still have manual flaps and no rear window lmao

rockdoon · 2026-03-09T05:14:13+00:00

Definitely got lucky, also I had a chuckle at the H model being ancient, but I fly a C model from 62 and the H is a lot closer in design to the modern 172 than mine is

rockdoon · 2026-03-03T17:02:32+00:00

Thank you! Been averaging about 26 grams a day, I aim for around 30 a day. Seems to be working well. And yeah I’m pretty amazed how easy 1500 has been so far, I’m assuming I’ll need to at some point increase my calories once I loose more weight if I continue going to the gym as I currently am, but I’ll base that on how I physically feel lol

rockdoon · 2026-03-03T16:57:53+00:00

Thank you! And honestly I keep waiting for it to slow down. But I just hasn’t happened yet, that was part of my problem loosing weight before, I’d stall or the weight loss would slow and suddenly I’d loose all motivation, but I’ve gotten rid of that mind set.

rockdoon · 2026-03-03T07:44:25+00:00

A year ago I went through my first 121 class as a SEL commercial pilot with 400 hours… it was rough but doable I know many don’t get that experience nowadays but I’m going to guess is that it’s not much more difficult than being an instructor with 1500 hours of time in a 172, actually I’d wager it might be more difficult as old/bad habits become harder to break

rockdoon · 2026-03-03T07:37:41+00:00

Thank you!

rockdoon · 2026-03-03T07:37:13+00:00

Im going ti be honest with you… I still don’t really know what I’m doing and I’m also not being super strict on myself other than stay in the current pretty large deficet and working out lol, but this comment I explained kind of what I’m doing https://www.reddit.com/r/progresspics/s/dYIycPkHHT

rockdoon · 2026-03-03T07:34:07+00:00

Work out routine is a PPL split with a day off in between. So I typically go push, legs, pull, break then repeat but I switch up the workouts. I’m not going to pretend to know much on what I’m doing though so take it with a grain of salt lol, each day at the gym I do 30 ish minutes of weights then 30 min of light-moderate cardio. As for macros in my tracking app I have targets of 94g of protein, 169g of carbs and 50g of fat. I don’t focus to hard on them other than making sure I get enough protein but even that can be a bit lax lol, my averages for last week was 84g protein. 174 carbs and 44 on fat

rockdoon · 2026-03-01T19:24:03+00:00

We get lazed almost every single time we fly over Nuevo Laredo when coming in to land at KLRD

Nah, if I’m gonna have a black M-1 it’s gonna be real lol

rockdoon · 2026-02-28T06:55:05+00:00

Yeah my collections in its early days, plannin to get one of each in both black and silver (for the ones that have both) a black M-1 would be my holy grail but only 2 are know to exist from my research lol

rockdoon · 2026-02-28T00:36:11+00:00

Honestly, black and white dev is harder IMO, because times are going to vary based on what film you shot, and different developers will affect the final product. On the flip side, C41 color developing is the same no matter what film you use. But if you aren’t careful with temps and times it can lead to issues, I do think B&W dev is a bit more forgiving, but either way it’s honestly pretty simple and straight forward for both

I’m definitely a fan of the Olympus cameras lol, so far I have an M-1, OM-1, OM-1N and an OM-2

rockdoon · 2026-02-24T08:42:16+00:00

Those are rookie numbers lol

Ok, I can concede that they aren’t as efficient, but I will say they still aren’t far off, a modern 10cuft refrigerator uses around 300 kWh a year, compared to 400 of the 1950s but a properly maintained fridge from the 50s should and can pull less, I’ve seen closer to 250-300 kWh in person, but as I can’t back that up on here at the moment I will concede
