Anyone know of any good DC-9 mnemonics or memory aids? So far I have PAC, QAC, TDC and "AC Lies, DC Dies". Looking for an easier way to memorize which hydraulic items are powered by the left and right side.

LIRO - Left-Inboard, Right-Outboard for the spoilers
The powered rudder is easy to remember, because both rudder and right begin with an "R," so it's easy to remember that the rudder is on the right system, at least for me.
Most things are on both systems, so you just need to remember the few things that aren't on both. Basically just the gear, rudder, spoilers, and elevator power augmentation aren't on both systems. Everything else is on both.
Where are you going to be flying the -9?

I fly the MD-80 and I'm pretty sure it's the same... You can try "Gator" and "Tie" for the hydraulics.
Gear, Airstair, Thrust Reverse, Outboard Flight Spoiler, Rudder (RIGHT SYSTEM)
Thrust Reverse, Inboard Flight Spoiler, Elevator (LEFT SYSTEM)
All others (steering, ground spoilers, flaps, slats etc) use both systems
