Negrito (ONM7) is one of the New Mexico backcountry airstrips. It is on the north side of the Gila Wilderness Area which is a spectacular area. The strip is at 8143′ MSL and has two runways. 17-35 is 7500′ x 60′ and 3 -21 is 4000′ x 60′ and in pretty good condition. Plenty good… [Read More]
Anxious Heart
An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. – Proverbs 12:25 See if you can find someone to cheer up today! 🙂
Hair
I spotted the following and found it hilarious. Apologies to those that it pokes fun at! 🙂
Paint Results
I know, I know… I promised photos here and did not deliver. Here they are, finally. I used Valspar Satin paint from Lowes and really liked it. It seems like a good quality paint that covered very well. It’s hard to tell much from the photos – sorry. The stark white that existed before is now… [Read More]
Independence Day
The 4th of July is pretty big deal to all citizens of the United States. Or, it should be. It is the day that we celebrate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence which stated legal separation from Great Britain. This was accomplished by the Second Continental Congress on July 2, 1776. John Adams wrote:… [Read More]
Value of a Pound
Aviators, more specifically homebuilders, are constantly trying to save a pound. This is no different than most other “performance” hobbies – motorcycles, cars, etc… all benefit from reduced weight. I’ve heard it said that in Formula 1 auto racing (the most advanced form of motorsport) saving a pound is worth $100,000. That’s nice if you… [Read More]

I had satellite XM/Sirius radio in my previous aircraft and love listening to my MP3 collection while flying. A few months ago I did the research and selected a… [Read More]
Delta 4 Launch
I’m a big fan of space flight – have been all my life. It seems we are launching rockets all the time and almost seems routine, almost. I don’t remember all that often but when I do, I try to watch whatever is being launched. Today, it was a Delta 4 heavy lift rocket. VERY… [Read More]
Leaking Hot Tub
My hot tub starting leaking recently. I tried to pretend that it didn’t exist. It still leaked. I tried to ignore it. It still leaked. I tried letting it leak until the water level was low enough that it wouldn’t leak anymore. It still leaked. So, at long last, I decided that I had to… [Read More]
Electronic Flight Bag
There is at least one thing that all aviators agree on – folding sectionals (charts) in an aircraft while airborne is a pain! Throw in some turbulence, busy airspace, etc… and it can become REALLY fun. Now that I have a good Android Tablet computer (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2), I decided to try an EFB… [Read More]
