I’m pretty happy with myself! I cycled every day last week but one – that was an on-purpose rest day. I didn’t try to kill myself with pace nor distance but was hoping to get my wrists and arms used to it. With all that in mind, I pedaled my bike 48 miles last week! … [Read More]

Tire Maintenance
I had several issues to resolve on my Vans RV-3B: The right main gear shimmies. Tire Pressure constantly leaking. Tires wearing on the outside and need rotated.

Sorry, it’s hogwash –… [Read More]
Negrito Camping

I departed for the Gila immediately after work. For July in New Mexico, it was a relatively cool day. However; that 92 degree OAT… [Read More]
Aircraft Trim
I was flying with a student pilot the other day. He says: “For some reason I can’t get on altitude – I keep chasing it around.” My response was: “Let go of the yoke.” Guess what happened? Ya, the aircraft nosed over and headed down. It was not in trim. The pilot was having to… [Read More]
