1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Honestly, since the lovely wife and I sleep on a waterbed, we never felt a thing. Waterbeds are spectacular at damping out earthquakes anyway :D
Also, having grown up in a house less than 50' away from the Western Edge of the San Andreas fault, I'm pretty used to earthquakes anyway, so it takes a pretty hefty shake of the ground to wake either of us :lol:
Also, I guess it was far enough away not to be a severe shake here so, while we both appreciate the concerned thoughts from all, they are completely unecessary :D
My thanks to all! Great evening to one and all!

Pat☺
Have fun, fly high, far, and free!

Regular Earthquakes are one of the many things that attracts me to explore the State of California....
....as well as the glorious scenery and the weather, there is also the excitement of the daily gang shootings, robbery, kidnapping, homicide, police chases, interracial violence, domestic violence, drug and booze consumption, riots, etc....etc....

My daily dose of news...>>> http://news.kron4.com/category/news/california-news/

..there's never a dull moment in the State of California... :o ...!

...trust me... ;) ...!

I continue to fear for my regular supply of Napa Valley Olive Oil, and Wine...>>>

The Olive Oil I can get from Italy...but the Napa Valley Wine is one of my favourites!

I'm off to have a peek around Napa Valley in my trusty, flight Sim, Cessna 150 Aerobat.... 8-) ...!

A lot of the wineries suffered pretty intense damage Paul. I live about 40 miles from the epicenter. Everyone else felt it in my city... not me. Some photos of some of the mess that I got to clean up at work.
