Saturday was a post-frontal weather day - very windy with active turbulence Sigmets. Fortunately, only areas west of Sacramento had high winds at the surface, while most other area airports had only moderate winds. Up above I saw 30mph winds, moderate turbulence and mountain wave with 1000fpm ups and downs downwind of ridges.

I try to open the year with a January 1st flight, but this year I couldn’t make it due to maintenance. Once the airplane returned into service, I took it up for some pattern practice across three local airports. It was a calm hazy day with an inversion. Did three-pointers and wheel touch-and-goes on a warm 20C January day :)

I miss my plane and youtube fed me this #cessna #c140 walk around #video - it is a really nice looking example. I also do like how fabric wings fly :) #pilot #aviation #flying #avgeek #pilotlife

I had an itch to do some retro computing 😀 My roots are Atari800, then some #286 and finally my own #486. With popularity of #retrocomputing , highish prices, space requirements and need to recap old hw, I looked for emulation. #Dosbox was ok, #dosbox -x was better, but still paravirtualizes OS and IO, and had compatibility issues. Finally tried #86box 4.2! I went with late 286-20 with 4MiB, VGA and SB2.0, but modern FreeDos 1.3.

Cool packet radio demonstration with circa 1980s hardware :) Packet was before my time, I was on dial-up BBSes, but this was just a few years after Packet already declined. I have some books from the era describing the protocols and showing the basics. It was neat seeing it “live” :)
