I lost one of my greatest hero’s this weekend – Neil Armstrong. I spent my early years being TOTALLY in awe of aviation and space. There was no doubt, I would be an astronaut one day. Obviously, Neil was the figure head behind NASA and the space program for many years. However; there were many other… [Read More]
Newly Hatched RV-12
I was out flying the other day and a friend with her freshly signed off Vans RV-12 aircraft was out flying. I took a quick bit of air-to-air video and a few photos. The plane is great – the photos are ok – the video is far from sellar. Sorry… Thought I’d post it in case some… [Read More]
Bosque Ride
This past weekend was a great one for cycling! I had two of my best rides ever. Saturday is posted here. Sunday, I decided that I needed to change things up. My local routes are getting a bit boring and Sunday offered some time to try something new. I drove my bike (as in, transported… [Read More]
Meandering
This past Saturday, around mid-morning, I took a nice 22.3 mile ride (or, what I thought was 22.3 miles). It was sort of a meandering ride north up thru Los Lunas and then back south towards home with a big loop at the south end to bump up the mileage. It was 70 degrees when I… [Read More]
New Mexico Sights
The following is video of a recent flight. Most of it was taken southwest of Albuquerque and south of Grants, NM. Key points include Petoch Butte (2:15) and Enchanted Mesa (3:38). New Mexico offers some spectacular views and these are but a few of them. Of course, in my opinion, our country (the United States)… [Read More]
Flying Emma
I met a gentleman named Emma (Emmanuel) who is from Uganda. He had just arrived in the USA to continue his college education and is staying with some friends. He is 29 years old, very intelligent and very interesting to talk with. As you can imagine, his perspective is very different than ours. We are… [Read More]
Advocacy
It’s interesting to me that there are people that want to regulate every possible activity, no matter what it is. I see this predominantly in firearms and aviation but I am now starting to see it in cycling as well. There have been several unfortunate accidents in general aviation this summer. This has gotten a… [Read More]
102 Feet
It’s not really that impressive… I know… Nonetheless, I have to find success and pride in anything and everything these days so this get’s elevated much higher than it ought to! The following GPS track is of my cycling the other day. It was an 18 mile ride which is in the “long” class for… [Read More]
Fat
I’ve been reading FatCyclist.com lately. Fatty (his title) has a bunch of really great thoughts and one that I really, really like is the reason for his blog. As I understand it, he started posting his weight for accountability purposes – to himself and his readers. I think many of the problem that Fatty cites are… [Read More]
Presents!
Alright, I admit it… I still have the mind of a child. I started riding my bike again, as previously blogged about, and suddenly my attention is on nothing but cycling. I remember that happening was I was ten years old – go to a Star Wars movie and every waking moment was spent as… [Read More]
