This is even worse than the time the CEO said on the Allhands that the employee survey would be emailed next week, and then the next week the employee survey email came from some phishy looking domain (like they always do). Nope, it was infosec running a phish test.

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

I'm liking my tax refund this year. 😂

Only 87 hours for the year and no new airports because the plane kept breaking down, and it's currently broken. But I did manage to fly 100 Young Eagles without a mx issue. Hopefully more hours next year and some new airports.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

Flew into Halter Ranch Winery last weekend to pick up our wine club shipment. Much more fun than conventional shipping and a tasty lunch too.

Highway 1 south of Big Sur and north of Lucia has been closed for over a year due to this massive landslide. No estimate for reopening since it is still moving up to a foot a day

As the White House turns its sights on the USPS, I want to explain a little bit about Alaska and bypass mail. A lot of times when the media writes about bypass, it is in this context - AK is getting something no one else gets & abusing it. (This is from 2014). /1 www.theguardian.com/world/2014/j...

Seeing the videos of the SuperScoopers grabbing water from the Pacific to put on the fires, I'm just waiting for the California Environmentalists (tm) to start complaining about how salt water is bad for the forests.

105 hours on the year and ten new airports. It would have been more but my plane decided to break twice (bad alternator and then a flat tire, both on the first flight of the day to fly Young Eagles). www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=RHV-...

Not the best weather for what was probably my last flight of 2024, but at least nature gave us a glory.

91 hours for the year, 40 hours less than 2022 thanks to all the rain and some airline travel. Only 5 new airports, but I did successfully land below sea level. www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=RHV-...
