I’ve lived near Albuquerque for nearly seven years but had never ridden the Sandia Foothills Open Space trails. I decided to change that this past weekend. Saturday dawned a beautiful day. An early morning flight always makes a day even better. After landing, I loaded up my bike, gear, and liquids and headed for Albuquerque. … [Read More]
Condition Inspection Time
A year has come and gone – amazing! Time for the annual Condition Inspection for my Vans RV-3B aircraft. Believe it or not, I was really looking forward to this inspection as there were several areas that I had not really dug into on this airplane and I wanted to see them. The bulk of… [Read More]
Catching up
I guess the last week has been busy… or something. Not sure how I fell so far behind but I’m working on catching up. I’ve been doing lots of cycling of late. I LOVE the warmer temperatures and feel of the sun beating down on me. Getting over the winter break is taking more work… [Read More]
Profile Aerobar Observations
I mentioned here that I was researching the various Aerobar options for my mountain bike. Well, I have pulled the trigger, installed them on my Specialized MTB, and have made many rides with them. I am far from a “fast”, pro, or even accomplished cyclist so please read my comments with that in mind. I… [Read More]
Tale of the Tail Wheel Replacement
The tail spring and tail wheel on the Van’s RV-3 is a pretty simple setup. However; there are two negatives. First, it is not a full swiveling wheel one has to lift the tail to push/pull it backwards. Second, it lacks ground clearance.

Practical Gun Buy Back Deep Thought
Participating in a gun buy back program because you believe that the criminals have too many guns is like having yourself castrated because you believe that the neighbors have too many kids. Brilliant!!
Cycling the gravel roads
After a bit of a false start, it seems spring has arrived here and so has the cycling. The false start was my own fault – I hoped that the warmer temperatures were here a bit too early. Never hurts to hope, I suppose… In any case, they are here now. This past week I… [Read More]

Today, we finish up the 2013 Cactus Fly-In trip report. The previous installments of my 2013 Cactus Fly-In report are here, here, and here. Sunday morning in Casa Grande, AZ dawned as beautiful as all the previous. However; today a tailwind for the trip home was in the forecast. I love it when that happens!… [Read More]

Double Circle Airstrip Landing Video
Several weeks ago I stopped at the Double Circle Ranch backcountry airstrip in Arizona. Yes, I know, I am way behind on my video production… 🙁 I mentioned the stop at Double Circle in the this post and I still feel the same way – it is a really neat place! The runway is a… [Read More]
