What a great Friday.

I’m getting mighty bored sitting around waiting for my airplane to get fixed.

[editorial note: I wrote this last week and forgot to publish it on Friday, so now you’re getting it on Monday.]

Good news for this update, or at least some of it is.

In my last update I said that Poplar Grove was taking the cranks and magnafluxing them for inspection.

The 2027 edition of Microsoft 365 for IT Pros was released today.

Since my last update, essentially nothing has happened.

Since my last update, not as much has happened as I had hoped for.

It’s official: I’m pulling both engines on N421BJ.

Pet owners talk about “gotcha day”: the day when a new pet joins the family.

I’ve written before about using AI tools for various tasks, and I’ve been pretty clear that they still need human supervision for anything factual.

Let’s start with the bad news.

So far, I’ve read 137 books in 2025 (with a few more in progress, so this number may inch up in the next day or two).

I don’t have any firm plans for next weekend, so I thought I’d see if I could remedy my FOMO a little with an airshow visit.

tl;dr: Starlink is an amazing addition to my airplane that makes my flying safer.
