Quote: Loading order. Front seat passenger first. Then slide the loaded front seat as near the panel as I can considering knees, then load the rear. I provide the muscle to move the seat while standing outside. If I have a less nimble front seater I can load them first, and rear seaters can shuffle in from my side after the passenger seat is locked. I climb in last. This is my default. PERHAPS if I have a super nimble front seater, I can consider loading them last but I almost always use the quoted technique. Seems to cover most scenarios in the best way. Unloading in reverse order. I haven't had to resort to stools even for my stiffest passengers. I tend to use a bit of muscle to lift and load. Of course, people can't be offended for inappropriate touching = sometimes a push is required RIGHT NOW and any hand-hold is in order.

Nice article about Johnny Cash here. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/mu ... backwoods/Initially I got stopped by the paywall, but right clicked on it and opened it in "incognito mode" /google chrome.

The bushing below the knob is loose. Does it ever need to come off, or can I just stick it on with a little epoxy? Paul Harvey very briefly had an advertisement from his sponsor, JB Weld. The advertisement said since JB Weld was good enough for airplanes (as suggested by a writer from Arkansas), then it has to be good enough for everything. Good Day!

Now that AD 2020-21-22 has been released, feds are giving credit for complying with SEL-55-01, which is a good thing. How many have completed this inspection? I did it in March during the annual, luckily found nothing.

I'm using BWI, my renewal comes up in June. Last year I only had a small increase on the original hull, although I increased the hull value after a complete avionics upgrade and factory engine which thereby increased the total.
