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]
Finishing the Wheel Skirts
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]
Pocket Doors
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]
Valley Flight and Backcountry Airstrips
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]
First Flight of the Decade
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… 🙂

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]
Idaho Aviation Camping
It has taken me a terribly long time but I’ve finally put a video together of my September 2019 camping trip to the Idaho backcountry in my RV-4. I documented that trip in this post but now there is video to go with it!! Now I just need to get to the July 2019 trip……. [Read More]
Working in Sweden
Happy New Year everyone! I know… not many updates these days. Sorry about that. These are busy, busy days. A very significant project at work had me living in Sweden for a short period of time – six weeks – for all of November and the first half of December. That same project kept me… [Read More]
Back in a Kayak
Coming home from my last Johnson Creek Idaho backcountry camping trip, I flew over Lake Powell in Utah. Once again I felt the MASSIVE pull to be on the water in a boat. On that particular lake, a kayak looks to me to be the right answer! I’ve been feeling that tug for awhile so… [Read More]
Another Johnson Creek Idaho Backcountry Camping Trip
Two Idaho backcountry camping trips in one summer!! Exciting stuff!! It was a spur of the moment deal (only a week’s notice) . Friends Mike & Jan were going. A friend that had never been there had a window of opportunity and was willing. So, the decision was made. We were headed north. The trip… [Read More]
