Granny's gone and done it again

This was on FB. I thought it was funny.
After every flight, UPS pilots fill out a form, called a "gripe sheet" which tells mechanics about problems with the aircraft. The mechanics correct the problems, document their repairs on the form, then pilots review the gripe sheets before the next flight.
Never let it be said that ground crews lack a sense of humor. Here are actual maintenance complaints submitted by UPS pilots ("P") and solutions recorded ("S") by maintenance engineers:
P: Left inside main tire almost needs replacement.
S: Almost replaced left inside main tire.
P: Test flight OK, except auto-land very rough.
S: Auto-land not installed on this aircraft.
P: Something loose in cockpit
S: Something tightened in cockpit
P: Dead bugs on windshield.
S: Live bugs on back-order.
P: Autopilot in altitude-hold mode produces a 200 feet per minute descent
S: Cannot reproduce problem on ground.
P: Evidence of leak on right main landing gear.
S: Evidence removed.
P: DME volume unbelievably loud.
S: DME volume set to more believable level.
P: Friction locks cause throttle levers to stick.
S: That's what friction locks are for.
P: IFF inoperative in OFF mode.
S: IFF always inoperative in OFF mode.
P: Suspected crack in windshield.
S: Suspect you're right.
P: Number 3 engine missing.
S: Engine found on right wing after brief search.
P: Aircraft handles funny.
S: Aircraft warned to: straighten up, fly right, and be serious.
P: Target radar hums.
S: Reprogrammed target radar with lyrics.
P: Mouse in cockpit.
S: Cat installed.
P: Noise coming from under instrument panel. Sounds like a midget pounding on something with a hammer.
S: Took hammer away from midget

Are you sure the two punctures are not from a small snake bite?

Yeah, probably the kid of that snake she grabbed.

Positive. I had boots on the day I wrangled that black rat snake and I had my foot on his head the whole time until I got him into a bag. And that was at least 3 days before these bites appeared.

@BigBlueHen53 The boss is having a problem with BYC that has been fixed but she is having to log out and then back in.

She says you need to see a doc that is a wound care specialist. It looks very much like a spider bite and could get very bad if you don't do something very soon. Don't delay. Personally I'd go the ER of the nearest large hospital that you can drive to now. Once she gets things fixed on her PC I'll let her tell you what she just told me. The last few years she worked she did a lot of wound care of all types while doing home health.

Thank you, I'll go now. See y'all later and I'll update you when I know something intelligent.

Blue.... It is written, "Thou shalt not........." You know how to finish that do you not?

Larry, I believe all but two of the Ten start out that way. Speak your mind.

 

[h2oratt]

That's possibly either the seals on the master cyl, or a pinhole leak. Either one is dangerous. Leak is less likely, bc if it was that you would barely be able to stop at all. Can you be more specific on "running weird" and what the brake pedal does when you press it?



(Sorry to be so full of questions, just trying to help. Oh ... Also, I'm a newbie to this group.... Am I welcome here?

Running weird means I feel like the tranny or RPM s are not feeling like usual. When I put on the brakes, they go pretty far down before they start working. I just have driven two different cats lately and their brakes don’t go down as far mine do.

I love it sounds like stuff I'd say.

Hmm.... Have you checked all the fluid levels?

When I put on the brakes, they go pretty far down before they start working. I just have driven two different cats lately and their brakes don’t go down as far mine do.

Sounds like master cyl seals.

Yes just had the transition fluid changed and flushed. Oil good. It is 106 here. Car is not running hot

Resident emergency medic (for our farm and any friends that get themselves hurt) here. I agree. That needs to be looked at by a wound specialist. I had a cat bite on the back of my hand that looked a lot like that. It was quite a fight keeping it from getting infected without going to a doc. On the up side of things, I learned from experience long ago that Banixx or Vetericyn work great on human wounds too. You could try that until you get to a doc. Raw, pure honey as well.
