I've looked at government documents about the TSA recurrent
CFI training until my head hurts. Can anyone summarize what
I need as an independent CFI to show that I've followed
whatever rules there are?

I've taken an online quiz where every other answer is to ask
my non-existent supervisor. I printed out a form that said I
finished the TSA course. I read the
"recurrent_flight_school_module.pdf" document, which seems
to say I've done recurrent training by looking up stuff
about my airport. It seems to have a form that I sign
myself certifying that I've trained myself and a logbook
entry that I make to myself to verify what I just certified
to myself. Can that be right?

No, of course not. You missed the most important step. Take the
certificate you printed out, put it in a dime-store frame, and hang it
on your wall. Right between your Junior High School diploma and the
calendar you got from the Chinese take-out place. Now you're done.

My next-door neighbors' 20-something nephew from Demascus just came to
live with them for a couple years while he works on a Master's degree
in computer science. I figure I've fulfilled my recurrent training
requirement by having them all over for a barbeque.
