Fulltime RV Living Adventures
Howdy all… another video for you. I seem to be doing more flying than talking/writing these days. Probably a good thing!! 🙂 This time, canyon flying in the mountains. There was wildfire smoke from California in the skies but I couldn’t let it ruin my flying. On this day, I visited the Beaverhead airstrip, Negrito… [Read More]
I’m officially disgusted with professional cycling. Yep, took me a while. They’ve been whining about various things for years. Wearing helmets, taking drugs, making too little money, making too much money, making bicycles too light, cheating with technology… all just silly. I could live with all that stuff. Show me a sport where the top… [Read More]
This past weekend was the annual New Mexico Pilots Association (NMPA) backcountry airstrip work weekend. The group performs maintenance on the backcountry airstrips each year and this was the weekend to do that work. I put together the following video of that activity. Be sure to set to 1080HD quality or it will look terrible…. [Read More]
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]
Saturday morning was beautiful here in New Mexico. Rain showers had passed thru overnight. There was lots of moisture on the ground (for the desert) and even some still falling from the sky. A perfect opportunity to do some sight seeing! I needed to do some video camera testing so I strapped on the cameras… [Read More]
I figured it was time to bring the pressure recovery wheel skirts saga to an end… If you recall… way back in June of 2018, I installed larger tires on my Vans RV-4. This necessitated larger wheel skirts. Those were installed a little later that summer. They are the pressure-recovery type that make my airplane… [Read More]
Yes, the blog has been pretty quite. However; I have been able to find the time to sneak a few small projects in. Remember a LONG time ago (here) when I mentioned separating the bedroom/bathroom from the living area in Missy? Well, Missy finally has not one but TWO pocket doors!! As noted above, the… [Read More]
I recently flew to Lordsburg, NM for a little fly-in. On the way, I made a pass down one my favorite little valleys and stopped at two backcountry airstrips. The first is Beaverhead and then MeOwn. Both are on the edge of the Gila Wilderness Area and are great little airstrips. Apologies for the first… [Read More]
Yeah… I know, the decade started a couple months ago…. I actually flew on that day. It’s the video production bit that has lagged. But… it is here… finally. Apologies for the laggardness… 🙂 https://youtu.be/-abd2JIlxeY
As you know from previous posts, I just love the details!! Especially electrical details!! One thing that people occasionally point out is that I have never posted an energy budget for Missy. It’s true… sadly. What’s an energy budget? Read this. The one I did for my Newmar Dutch Star is here. The problem has… [Read More]
