No kidding, especially the old style linear springs that went along the upper door rails, those suckers will kill you. In our old house we ran safety cables inside them so at least they'd just follow the cable if they broke.

Beat me to it about the springs. I agree.

Of course you guys all loved Trump while the shelves ran bare while he was POTUS.

Hoarding toilet paper was a result of irrational human behavior brought on my government-induced fear, and didn’t involve hundreds of container ships sitting offshore waiting to be unloaded.

Please try to keep up.

Glad to see Trump is still living rent-free in your brain.

Biden's team built a fake set of the WH for TV recordings.  Not clear why they didn't use the original, maybe someone else had it already booked.

Probably Bill visiting his old BJ locations.

Candace Owens!

Not a bad choice. Can you imagine her debating pretty much anyone on the D side? 

Not that I think anyone cares, but govt officials in Norway say they have been misquoted.  The public health dept of Norway said this:

“Our position, as stated in the news article, is that at this point in the pandemic we must start approaching COVID-19 as one of several respiratory diseases circulating with seasonal variation. This means that the control measures that will be applicable for various respiratory diseases will require the same level of societal preparedness. This does not mean that illness from coronavirus and the seasonal flu are similar.”

It’s a subtle difference, but apparently close enough for the right to embrace the otherwise liberal Norway.

How is that any different from the original article?  Or did you just reflexively think that we are just lemmings who follow something that fits our agenda, and not read the article?

From the original article:

“The Norwegian Institute of Public Health FHI has made the remarkable, but statistically supported, decision to classify Covid-19 as a respiratory disease that is as dangerous as the common flu. It is clarified that the pandemic is not over, but that it has entered a new phase where Covid-19 is now equated with a common respiratory disease, such as a flu or respiratory infection. This is done, among other things, due to the mutations that the Coronavirus has undergone, which makes it less dangerous, together with increased natural and vaccination-induced immunity that has been achieved in Norwegian society.”

Thanks for posting this. I’ve been too busy to post about it. I keep my Navion at Waukesha (KUES). I checked with my friends when this happened and no one knew anything about it. I checked the METARs and ceilings were 400-800’. I just assumed the pilot was instrument rated.  I’m sorry, SVFR on a long-distance flight and not being IR is stupid as fuck.

Thanks for the candid explanation of the incident. IMHO, unless the field is very short, I'd avoid configuration changes while on the rollout. Wait until you pull off the runway, stop, and then do your post landing and clean up the airplane.

One of my primary instructors drilled into me, even in a welded gear 172, to say after turning off the runway and proceeding to clean up “It looks like a flap, it feels like a flap, it is a flap.” 

I use that to this day and particularly in my Navion, when such things really matter.
