might be my fault. I don't use tapa whatever so I can only use reddit or facebook on my phone when I am at work. Don't have a computer I could use for the forum. But CSG Mike does a lot there too. The reddit ft86 is really one of the few other active twins forums for the USA.

Advertise your car on Kijiji they said.
How bad can it be they said?


3 obvious bot replies of "I be serious about buy you car call me"
4 "will you take $4,000"?


And my very favourite


"Will you trade even for a 1998 CRV with no rust?"

So, how's the new CRV?

Reminds me of my one experience trying to sell a car on Craigslist. I got offers to "trade even" everything from bass boats to a pickup truck that had been partially converted to a race truck and needed "just a little more work".

Not a single legitimate offer though.

Well Facebook marketplace did result in the offer of trading for a 2008 Cadillac CTS.

Hey, if it was a CTS-V I would definitely consider it. If it was the CTS-V wagon you'd be golden!

Would totally defeat the purpose of getting rid of a car for space reasons though. I actually considered keeping the Lava as my winter car but really just don't have room to store it and paying for a place for 4 months would be silly.

My main gripe is the extra steps to get into the phone.


When you wake it up and click a msg notification it used to auto open the lock screen and take you to the message or app you clicked on.



Now it doesn't, you clicl the notificayion, unclick it, swipe the lock, enter the passcode, open the app and go it. Makes trying to shut off the morning alarm a post-coffee process.

At least on my Pixel, it is also almost impossible to answer the phone. You can no longer do it from the lock screen but have to unlock the phone first.

It is going to be 70° here today and tomorrow. Need to go for a drive.

Very weird.

I updated my Pixel 3XL this morning and have noticed no difficulty in answering calls or clicking on notifications.

They legally can only SCHEDULE us for a 14hr day but any kind of delay for weather or passengers or ATC or whatever can push us way past that legally. I do remember working more than 50 hours at my father's tool and die shop (when I was a machinist not programming computers) being kind of crazy just for a little OT though. Even though that's a drop in the bucket for a pilot. Anyway my view has always been to get that dough while it's available though. Between having a father who owns a small business and being in aviation now, take it while you can get it.

Are pilots not salaried employees, do you get OT? And no, 1 thirteen hour day isn't bad by itself, remembering the 70+ hour weeks at my old job lol. Just remarking on how I was a hero for it then, and an idiot for it now lol.
