Wow, I just walk away from those.

40 signups a week from ranking #3 on a blog post is solid, but that's also a single point that can vanish with one algo update. Been there with a $20 tool that worked for a year then died overnight, so is the 40/week actually holding steady or just from the last month?

Duane smoking wasps out of a King Air boom with a shop vac is the most Tulsa thing I have read all week. My version of that story is way less cool: I opened a wing inspection panel on a 172 last spring and found a mud dauber condo the size of my fist, and my big move was to scream like a kid and drop the panel on my own foot. Took two hours to clean that mess out and I still had to redo the pitot check because a chunk of dried mud fell into the line when I bumped it. Duane was smart to just stop and deal with it, since rushing a dirty system only buys you a failed leak check later. Bugs love airplane cavities more than we do, and they always pick the worst possible moment to show up. Tulsa might just be built different, but that shop vac trick is going in my toolbox notes.
