Constant change…

July 10, 2020

A number of changes have occurred recently. No surprise right?!?!  🙂 House Most significantly, I sold my house at the airpark. Chalk that up to another lesson learning about myself. I’m not a homeowner. No big surprise there. Purchasing it a couple years ago seemed like the right thing to do. It wasn’t, at least… [Read More]

For Pete

July 16, 2019

blood guts cut hand sharp knife

I normally try to keep my wood working tools pretty dull. Actually, all my cutting tools. Recently, a friend was teasing me about how dull my knife was so I sharpened it. This is the result!! This is for you Pete!! For those of you that recognize Pete’s name from comments here, he (and his… [Read More]

Fencing Trip

March 26, 2019

Bendit barbed wire fence post driving tractor bucket

No… sorry… not fencing like sword-fighting. Fencing like barbed wire fencing. The snow is gone from the continental divide and I flew into Bendit last weekend to check the road and area. It all looked clear and dry so this past weekend, I loaded a whole mess of fence posts, a couple big 3″ square… [Read More]

Airpark Home for the New Year

January 3, 2019

My life continues to go thru some crazy changes. This time an airpark home. I previously mentioned (here) the possibility of buying a home. It is now a done deal. Having an airpark home means I’m back to airpark living!!  Which, of course, means my airplane is very close!! That is a great, great thing… [Read More]

Happenings and Squirrels

RV-4 Bendit Airstrip New Mexico

Not many updates about anything other than flying these days. So, what’s up?!? Well… my job is keeping me busy. I haven’t done much of anything on Missy’s conversion. Of course, the to do list is still VERY long. I had planned to get the ceiling finished so I could make some progress on walls…. [Read More]

Far East Trip… Sweden

September 4, 2018

Sweden Stockholm Trip

My far east trip took a very abrupt turn to the left as I was southbound along the Mississippi. All the way to Sweden! No… I didn’t actually drive Missy to Sweden. Instead, I took a very large aluminum tube with wings. It was a week-long trip for business and I went with a friend… [Read More]

The Windsock Flies!

I have some amazing friends!! I don’t talk about them enough but I am VERY blessed! Three of those friends brought their RV’s up to the Hacienda recently for a weekend visit. Apparently, this was to celebrate some important event – I’m not sure what that was all about. I’ll call them “Dave”, “Ann”, and “Cathy”… [Read More]

High Stress Wallet Games

Lost Found Games wallet credit cards drivers license

This past week I had some fun little games played on me with my wallet. The bus boys are still mighty playful but they seem to have too much time on their hands. This week, they decided to hide my wallet. Go ahead… tell me how innocent they look!!! I got up bright and early… [Read More]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

April 23, 2018

New Mexico Snow Missy

I think I have mentioned that it has been cool way up here on the Continental Divide. A couple days ago, I woke up to this sight! Where are the Christmas decorations! I took those photos before sunrise so the lighting is not the best. Sorry about that… It went away pretty quickly but the… [Read More]

Dumb Birds and Dumb Cats or something else…

April 16, 2018

trapeze catch dumb cat bird leaping

I’ve been enduring a case of dumb animals this week. There are a number of small birds here on the homestead that are pretty determined to fly thru a few of Missy’s closed windows. By itself, that is not a terribly annoying problem. Add a couple dumb cats to the mix that are pretty determined… [Read More]

Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as opposed to a surprise party.
