10 of 30 MLB ballparks. I did my last leg to Cincinnati in a Turbine Duke because getting across to the west coast would be too slow in a Comanche. I'm happy with the flight recorder, but am going to try to build visualizations for my landings, which are still shaky. davesnider.com/ballpark-tour

I got called "bruh" by a five-year-old today.

I was told by my daughter today that no one over 40 can say "nonchalant", which apparently is slang. This got us into a conversation about what "chalant" means, and we learned there is no definition in English. It's an unpaired word like misnomer.

Had my first emergency on a MSFS flight from Detroit to Cleveland. Over Lake Erie I ran into power loss while in the clouds. I ran through my checklist, but turned on "cabin heat" rather than "carb heat" (i figured it out). Pretty cool that I can feed raw data into Claude to get a report.

The fun part of that chart is you can see the moment when I was like... "oh no, I need to find a place to land", realized I wouldn't make it, then re-ran through my checklist. Engine kicked back in around 200 ft above the water! Learned a lot on this one.

I now have a robust playback system that includes wind-speed and fuel economy. I made horrible time on my flight to Ithaca and wanted to know why. Turns out I was in 20 kts of headwind the whole flight! Also added some climb, cruise and descend metrics. Next up will be measuring bouncy landings.
