The tiniest hints of fall foliage showing on a morning flight to Cherry Ridge. Extreme scenes of Americana with gently waving flags, rural airport, and a visit from this extraordinary and beautifully-restored Stearman PT-17 while I was having lunch at the café. #AviationThreads

I’m old enough to remember when “tech bro” was an oxymoron.

It blows my mind that my daughters learned to ride two-wheel bikes slap in the middle of Amsterdam Avenue. Open Streets is one of the very few good things to come out of the Covid era.

Being a parent in 2025 is finding out your child has been designated a "Reading Rockstar" but not knowing what that means.

Flying’s a perishable skill, so to keep it sharp you spend a couple of hours in an un-air conditioned phone booth. 10/10 weather for it though. The only fillip was navigating the presidential flight restrictions around NYC today. Back at it tomorrow to keep plugging away at instrument approaches.

It is absolutely wild to me that we now can program computers by asking them nicely to program themselves.

New Yorkers: Go Outside

I'd been wondering lately about the business-speak phrase 'the long pole'. Turns out there's a William Safire 'On Language' column from 2008; surprisingly, the etymology has aviation, burlesque, and nuclear weapons... https://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/06/magazine/06wwln-safire-t.html

$4.50 of congestion charge well-spent to commute on a 10/10 NYC riding day. New Yorkers: Go Outside.

Easily my best run in months. Nowhere near as fast as I was in 2023 but felt amazing. The secret, it turns out, is to take a week off work, go on vacation, run every day, and return to S-tier NY running weather (70F, Zero wind, low humidity). Enjoy running with this one weird trick! #runningthreads

NYC the nanosecond the temperature dips below 80F

Late August and early September is the True Springtime of New York: New arrivals to the city for school and jobs. Fledgling New Yorkers leaving the nest for university elsewhere. Perennial New Yorkers emerging from air conditioned apartments now the heat and […] [Original post on threads.com]

Back in the air for the first time in a month this morning, getting back on the instrument-training horse. Last time, I flew some embarrassingly garbage approaches but today was much better. A VOR and two non-precision RNAVs with some partial-panel chucked in for […] [Original post on threads.com]

Exhausted after sleeping twelve (12) hours on a soft bed with a down duvet, while safe and warm without fear of predators or hunger.

I have a lot of questions about how I got an "SQL Server Message" from the NYC Departement of Youth and Community Development.

My youngest daughter (5) has discovered “Who Let the Dogs Out” and can instruct Alexa to play it on repeat. Please send help.

The Black Keys are Millennial Dad Rock. I will not elaborating further at this time.

TikTok should be banned solely as punishment for the crime of making it socially acceptable to listen to videos out loud on the train.

Most US States invest heavily in a consistent visual brand for their agencies, but for some reason, the one State-issued document that people interact with the most--the Driver's License--never uses it on the masthead. Why is that? This happens to be New York's […] [Original post on threads.com]

All these new followers are going to be terribly disappointed when they find out I post 0% Disney content and 99.9% flying and nerd shitposts.

A Disney vacation is basically the Olympic Games for people who consider planning and logistics to be a sport.

Love the cheeky infinite legroom seats on the United B752 fleet.

Alright aviation nerds, quiz time: Why does this United departure from Newark to Allentown PA take 90 minutes to travel about 55 nautical miles, a distance that can be flown in about half an hour in a Cessna 172?

If you want to feel like a member of a celebrity entourage in NYC, bring a small, fuzzy dog on the train in a tote bag. People sneak pictures, ask if they can meet the dog, smile benignly at you.

Getting ready to show your house for sale is like, “pretend you are neat and tidy to a fault and also that you own almost no objects except furniture”
