I talk back to my Sprint Navigation. (I've named her Moneypenny.)
Moneypenny: You are now off track...
Me: No, I'm NOT!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Visual warnings are good things.
I was halfway to altitude on aerotow once, giving a sailplane ride, when a thin stream of smoke started coming from the towplane.
Very pretty. Just like a display at an airshow.
I called him on the radio. "Ah, Tow One, Blanik Eight Seven Zero, you're showing a little smoke there, everything okay?"
No radio reply, but there was a two second pause and then he gave me the "Release right the fuck now!" waveoff, then peeled off and headed for the runway and made a for-real power-off landing.
Later, the tow pilot said that when I called all the instruments showed everything was fine, but half a second later the oil pressure needle hit the bottom peg. Turned out that the Super Cub's prop seal had blown. No engine damage, though, thanks to just a little warning and some quick reactions.

Eesh. I'm glad he was okay.
So, when I go get my hair cut tomorrow, should I chop off all but about a half inch (the not currently dyed part), or would that be too extreme?

I'm considering cutting all of my hair off, too. I'm deeply unhappy with how it looks and think I should just get rid of it and start (almost) fresh.

Yeah, that's where I am. I have no desire to deal with roots, but it would be nice to have more options.

OK, I'd laugh at it everytime I looked at it, but that's a damned cool piece of furniture. Hey, put tiny little drawers in something, and I love it.

FUCK.
My car is being serviced as you all are typing. One of the parts didn't come in a (axle boot, so a sort of important part) and the other part (something to do with the gear cables) won't be in until Tuesday. I am supposed to pick up my car tomorrow AM (whatev) and then bring it back in for the transmission job. I want assurance that driving it in the meantime won't kill ME or the car.
And, FWIW, it'd be nice to have a car that will go into reverse, is all I'm saying.
In other news, the hateful shoes have been returned.

I inadvertently helped paint Cancer in a bad light today by making a suggestion to the new ED that New ED thought Cancer should have come up with. Oops.
