Very nice looking TBM

People don't realize how big that Skyraider is, it is big iron for sure!! The TBM is big but you sit them next to each other and you get the understanding of BIG..

While I was at MCAS El Toro they had a few operational Skyraiders and yes they're large aircraft

He was comparing his model to the pics to see just how accurate his version is

Good afternoon Young'ns

Passed but another DOT and drug test to make "it official".... Monday dispatch and back to "dodging 4 -wheelers"

New "Rules" again for DOT with ANY meds.... only 1 year on the "Card" and need to see specialist ( eye Doctor) before next year ......

I read the dam eye chart WITHOUT my glasses and the nurse kinda did a .....

I guess we 50's are not supposed to improve with age and then telling her my secret;" just enough blood in my bourbon" did not sit well

Yup, I'm on the annual list. For me it's a "condition of employment" so I don't pay for it. And when I retire I'm going to have it removed from my license so I don't have to mess with it.

Paging @Tacoma Mike

Are they different from previous years?

Jus wondering.

Their list is dependent on parts ,venders, assembly, etc.
We don’t know the details of what, how, why.

They are real good at tracking issues like this..

MORON REPORT.

Stuff like this makes me so sad.
Old couple with an old truck.
Been to two other “places” for an issue of a noise on sharp left turns.
Now the info is sketchy.
They ended up putting a tie rod end.
Lower control arm
Top strut mount.
So I went around the lot and heard it and knew right away what the hell it was.
So picked the truck up and yeup..
The left tire was hitting the frame on sharp turns.
Now these two other places couldn’t get down and analyze why.
At some point someone replaced the lower steering shaft.
And since they did it wrong they got the steering rack out of calibration.
So the internal steering stops were not in proper orientation.
So the other two places replaced parts they didn’t need.
It was obvious if you knew what to look for. The left tie rod end had about 1/2 inch
Of threads sticking out. The right had over an inch and a half.
No way to stop the movement.. the right one almost didn’t have enough threads to hold it in.
So had to remove the lower coupler and center the rack and tie rods. Reassembled the coupler and reset the toe.
Felt so bad for them..
So gave them a detailed explanation and to go back to the place that did the coupler and see what they say.
Oh and yea one of the tie rod lock nuts weren’t tight either...

I’ll tell ya..
My job just gets harder and harder...

Im Pretty proud of my DIL. the county gave 4 $2000 grants to classes that applied for it with why they deserve it. Thats over the entire school system. 2 Elementary,2 middle, and the High School. my DIL won a grant for her 4th grade class. the group came to class and the kids helped develop a plan for how to improve the classroom with the money.it was a pretty big deal

goof for her. there's a local program here that awards $250 to a class on a weekly basis - and probably 20 schools competing for it.

I don't put that much thought into it.
Maybe another Scotch will help the issue.
