Thats some seriously worn teeth

I’m so bad at guessing the correct amount of torque…
It’s a nice wrench.

My tools:

Yeah, I had this cassette for about 6500km…

That’s a nice looking set!

I always try and fix something at about the same torque as when I removed it, factoring in that run-off torque and run-on torque might differ a little.

Speaking of torque wrenches … I bought my first one! (I’m tired of second guessing torque and that practice is probably dangerous anyway!) …

This thing is beautiful.

Another Linebacker post? Whaaat? Ya, I’m on vacation this week so expect a lot more posts from me. I might even get around to do some flight simming so get your popcorn ready.

We wa-wa-wa’d our way all the way to New Orleans today. Both jets are down for maintenance. I brought the Hornet NATOPS manual to read…

Yeah…that’s a mean line up there north of DC through Philly. Good night to be in the barn…

It rides completely different since Sunday. Amazing what a basically new drivetrain will do. Everything is quiet, so much easier to pedal. Just a dream to ride.

That does look nasty! Glad I didn’t have to deal with it this evening…

When do you go back on flight duty? Getting healed up OK?

I’m healing up well thanks Chris. It is taking a lot longer than I imagined though (this was the first time I have broken a bone). I figured a few weeks in the cast and I would be back at work. What I didn’t realize is that the cast itself does a lot of damage to muscles and tendons etc, so I have been hitting Physical Therapy pretty hard to get mobility and strength back in my wrist.

Hopefully I will be cleared to go back to work at the end of this month. The Physical Therapist did a grip strength test yesterday which was an eye opener. I can grip with my left hand with 90 Lbs of pressure, my right hand (the affected hand/wrist), only 35 Lbs. So, there is still some way to go.

In all honesty, I feel like I could go back to work right now, and if I had an office job I most certainly would have been back weeks ago. Something about me being a pilot makes the Docs a little nervous I guess.
