i like to change mine yearly as recommended
i keep thinking of going into the trees and not being visible from above
no flight plan filed, my wife won't expect me until evening
i'll be 2 hours before the satellite reports me and another 2 hours to
get the search started
and i left my cell phone in the car

Have a good day - Charlie

Damn, I'll miss it. This is a terrific resource, and you fellows have helpe
me a lot in getting my plane straightened out and flying right. But an
average of 30+ posts per day is just too much, especially when I can't read
it every day. It crashes my Hotmail account regularly, and I'm too cheap to
pay for a real account.
Anyone know if there's a way to go "nomail"? That is, not receive the
individual emails, but be able to read them on a web site somewhere, and
still be able to send to the list occasionally? I couldn't find such an
option in the extensive list at the bottom of every email.
