The bachelor pad has a brand spanking new septic system!! Another item off the list! The fella’s showed up the day they said they would and had the work completed in two days – as promised. I was originally told that I needed an “ATS” system (expensive) due to new regulations. However; shortly before the… [Read More]
Open Space!
I just had to share some recent house remodel photos as there seems to be some real deconstruction progress!! The wide open space is beginning to show. I had a roll off container delivered late last week. This meant that all the debris that has been accumulating could be moved out of the house. YAY!… [Read More]
Breakfast in the Gila
This past Saturday was a beautiful day to go flying in search of breakfast. I ended up near the Gila Wilderness Area at the Negrito backcountry airstrip in southwest New Mexico. I met a couple of friends there and they just happened to have breakfast burritos and cinnamon cake!! How lucky am I!?!?! It was… [Read More]
House Deconstruction #2
The deconstruction continues (first post)… If you look closely you can see the tile floor in the kitchen (and mud room) has been removed, one wall is entirely gone, and the other is changing. The concrete slab floor is terribly “unlevel” – it has many high and low spots. That would never work with new… [Read More]
War on Trees
The bachelor pad needs a new septic system. I previously mentioned this because it was the thing that caused the purchase to be so complicated. There are several problems with it but one is the fact that two cottonwood trees have been allowed to grow right in the middle of the evaporation field. Cottonwood Trees… [Read More]
Sensenich GA Propeller
Those of you following my silliness know that I like to go fast as well as land on short back country airstrips. Those two things don’t often mesh very well. I suspect there is no ‘perfect’ airplane for such requirements. However; my little Vans RV-4 sure does a great job with it. The most significant… [Read More]
House Deconstruction
I previously mentioned my ‘need’ to figure out the plan for the new house before doing too much. So, while attempting to figure that out, I started poking around to learn what I could learn. I turned on the water to see how things worked. Inspections during the purchase process revealed that the well needs… [Read More]
Bendit with Snow
I needed to make a trip to Bendit to retrieve my little utility trailer and a front tractor tire that was flat. Lots of snow and cold – at least for the high desert – has come thru recently so I figured that odds were good that I’d find some snow. … and I sure… [Read More]
Airpark Home for the New Year
My life continues to go thru some crazy changes. This time an airpark home. I previously mentioned (here) the possibility of buying a home. It is now a done deal. Having an airpark home means I’m back to airpark living!! Which, of course, means my airplane is very close!! That is a great, great thing… [Read More]
RV-4 Rewiring
The weather guessers were telling us that the weekend would be a bad one for flying. Both days?!?!? I know… crazy! That is nearly unheard of here in paradise – two bad flying days in a row. When I initially moved from the frozen tundra of the north to paradise, I nearly wore myself out…. [Read More]
