Do planes get heavier as they age, like people?

This one gained 13lbs. (On a 12,000lb plane). And yes they pretty much always gain weight, which is why we are required to weigh them every 3 years. Private use doesn’t require that.

Good morning all, cooler and rain in the forecast today
Cody is still sleeping. He does that well.
The deers as many as 15 or so showed up next to the house last evening to munch on chestnuts. They clean up what is on the ground and then wait for more to fall.
The walnuts are starting to come down as well and acorns from the large oak trees are falling. See pic of

a few of the large walnut trees

 

[wngsprd]

68 up to 87, but this afternoon a front may bring showers, 60s, and Autumn along with the equinox...down to 49 tonight.

Went to visit my mom (and wife) yesterday. Mom is much better, wife should be able to come home tomorrow.

 

[daugen]

good morning all
cold front coming in today bringing heavy rain later this morning, but then clearing out and I'm seeing mid 40's night temps for a while.
Radishes will love this weather, remarkable how fast they grow.

M7040, you have a beautiful place. In NC I planted a nut orchard in addition to a fruit orchard, and some day that property will have a lot of pecans and other nuts coming down.
Sure takes a while to establish and need lots of room, those trees get pretty big.

going out to Vietnamese restaurant tonight with old friend, should be fun trying to figure out the menu. Similar to Thai?

finally hired a house cleaner, starts next week, every two weeks. Costs the same to clean this tiny cottage as it did my 3500sf home in NC, talk about wage difference.
what this means is I really have to clean up my accumulated piles, tidy up the house, particularly my office. Living alone easy to be a slob, no one yells at you, so good
I have to pick everything up regularly. Will try to get some of that done today since will be too wet to be outside.

hope you all have a great day.

 

[Buppies]

71 high of 81 cold front comes thru still dry fall like tempers to stay for a while

wngsprd glad mom doing better

Prayers for all our Country

 

[riptides]

68 outside, heading to upper 70's. Looks like the cooler weather is upon us.

Hope all have a great day and are on the mends if need be.

 

[NHBX]

Happy 1st day of autumn.
61° and raining with a few boomers in the distance.

Nothing much going on, just enjoying life, family and friends. After this rain will probably need to mow I hope for the last time this season.

I’m way behind on this thread don’t know if can get up to date.

Roy, hope you and family feel better.

Prayers for those in need, our country and peace around the world.

Enjoy your day everyone

 

[Buppies]

Roy hope you did not relapse and feeling much better today and the wife too

What's the cause of the weight increase, paint?, added Avionics, tires?
or dirt and dust inside the air frame?

Probably just dirt, there were no modifications between weighings.

Good Morning.
It’s 69 which is probably the high for today, as cold front is bearing down on us, bringing rain later this am.

Yesterdays trip to Washington, PA was actually fun, took a friend along, we went to Cabellas in Triadelphia, WV while they defueled and weighed the plane. It was less than a half hour drive. I saw a Kimber Micro 9 in Stainless that I would have bought, but not being a WV resident, there was a waiting period, so I didn’t buy it, as I was going to be at the far end of PA after lunch.

Thanks to commuting in the little plane, I did get home in time to mow before today’s rain to get ready for wife’s farm open house this weekend. My grandson didn’t help, so I made really good time, got everything mowed well before sunset. The only downside was that I made no progress on the speaker.

Today I’ll get the finish on the speaker, might look locally for a stainless Micro 9. It’s funny that I wasn’t interested or looking until I saw and held one, now I want one.
Tonight going to see Pokey LaFarge at the Sellersville Theater with youngest son and a friend.

Morning, only going up to 74 and thick rain clouds.
Woke up with eyes all puffy, allergy to something.

Our daughter did well at the United Nations Assembly meeting yesterday in NY. The assistant secretary was very complementary of her and her teams support for the meetings. She (assistant secretary) was raised on a farm in the midwest and our daughter was taking care of our goats and milking them until going off for college. Similar farm backgrounds help them form a bond together that builds trust. Today she meets with Mrs Zelinski at the Ukrainian museum in NY to get recognized for her work on exposing Russian war crimes.
On the home front I managed to get the last elusive groundhog sent off to another world. My preferred method is the use of smoke bombs and after that use of a trap. But this one would steal the bait without tripping the trap. Shooting it with the 243 is not an option since my eye surgery and using left handed is awkward for me. But ran across it while out on the Zero Turn and it could not outrun it. No more groundhogs for the time being

Yikes! Sounds.....messy.

Compliments to you, and your family, especially daughter on the UN/State Department work. Gives one hope that better times are indeed ahead.

Good Morning!!!! 59F @ 5:30AM. Plentiful sunshine. High 82F. Winds NW at 5 to 10 mph.
Looks like it's gonna be a beautiful day, weather wise.

What's the calibration accuracy of the scales, Paul? 0.11% seems like it could be within measurement error.

Took the ruts out of the driveway with the land plane yesterday, but that left a layer of loose dirt behind. Cleaned that up with the 4in1 bucket, but now I'm thinking there's probably not enough slope side-to-side to move the water to the gutter we cut on the low side. No more rain in the 10-day, so it looks like it'll be a while before I find out.

Finally got around to doing some target practice late in the afternoon. No histronics from the neighbor, as he was probably at work. The targets tell me I need more practice...

Hang in there, gang, Friday's comin'!

 

[PJSprog]

62°F and cloudy this morning, only going up to 72° today. Welcome relief from the heat. We even got a little rain last night as the front came through.

I was a Sears kid, too, Mark.

Good morning, gents.

Thanks for the compliments

The groundhogs are very destructive by undermining foundations and causing collapse of stone walls
