Some will remember I was receiving code intead of text in my daily digest from KRNET. Sometimes the entire email would be in code, sometimes just a section. No one elese seemed to be having that problem so I figured the problem would work itself out over -time. What happened shortly after was a pop-up reminding me to change my password while I was writing an an email on Yahoo Mail. I usually ignore these things but, without thinking much about it, I went in to change my password. I've done it many times over the years without problem. On this occasion, the new password was not recognized by Yahoo Mail. So . . . I changed it back to the password I'd been using at the time of the pop-up. It was not accepted either. I've spent countless hours trying to recover 16 years of folders, so far without success.
I don't know that the gibberish I was getting with my KRNEt email had anything to do with my loss of access to Yahoo Mail, but it's the only two times in all these years that I've had problems with my email. No other programs seem to have been affected. I'm back to using Juno, meanwhile hoping to get someone at AT&T (Yahoo Mail) who can fix my email problem. It may be too much of an assumption to suppose that KRNET has become the target of hackers, but I can't help associating the gibberish emails I was getting on KRNET was a forewarning. Maybe so, maybe not. I guess the point of this email is to ignore, or be very careful of, any pop-ups that ask you to change your password. ************************************* It seems I've suddenly lost my hearing. Not completely, but about 90%. This happened suddenly, two or three days ago. It's like I've got earplugs lodged in my ears or water following a shower. I've done the Hydrogen Peroxide wash-out using a small bulb (like a turkey baster) and have let the ear canals soak with tea tree oil and regular pharmaceutical ear drops. I'll be seeing an ENT doctor later today. I'm hoping it's just a build-up of wax. I use earphones a lot, something that contributes to a build up of wax but I think that only applies when volume is high. I always use normal volume, so that's doubtful . . . but I'll get it diagnosed. My mom lost her hearing in the last years of her life so maybe I've inherited this issue. I'll never pass a medical with hearing like this, plus I've not been flying lately anyway. Dimishing enthusiasm is the only reason I can think of for spending so little time at the hangar. I'm healthy as hell (except for this sudden ear issue) so I've no decent explanation for my lack of interest in flying lately. Sparky had lost his enthusiasm for flying too for the last few years although he would show up at the hangar every Thursday. The airport will never be the same, at least for me. I haven't put Ken Cottle's little gem on Barnstormer's yet and I'm actually not all that enthusiastic about selling it. However, if this hearing problem turns out to be serious I'll have no choice. Everything works fine. No nicks, leaks, hangar rash, or problems of any kind. Canopy unscratched and wing skins are as immaculate as when Ken and Dan Diehl put them on. This is the plane featured in Dan's instruction/installation video. I keep the canopy covered with a large soft cotton cloth. Naturally, it's been hangared it's entire life. I paid Steve Bennett $13,100 for it and have made some significant improvements since I bought it. Naturally I'd like to get close to what I have in it but anyone with interest send me a note. I'll deliver the plane to wherever the buyer wants it in return for expenses and a ticket back home to SAN. I imagine a prospective buyer would like to come to KSEE and do an inspection prior to delivery. Certified Day/Night IFR. Builder's photograph logs (3) and all other paperwork in order. Payment (cash) would be on delivery. I ordered and received the TailbeaconX along with the fancy EFIS controller ($4400) but Uavionix issued a recall on this model immediately after shipping it . . . so it doesn't have ADS-B. I wanted the TailbeaconX because it meets Canada's, Mexico's, and the rest of the world's ADS-B requirements. It works off satellites. Planned to mount it inside rear fuselage. https://tinyurl.com/yscujyt5 Until I get my propbala...@att.net email back my email is laser...@juno.com.
