Happenings and Squirrels

November 26, 2018

RV-4 Bendit Airstrip New Mexico

Not many updates about anything other than flying these days. So, what’s up?!? Well… my job is keeping me busy. I haven’t done much of anything on Missy’s conversion. Of course, the to do list is still VERY long. I had planned to get the ceiling finished so I could make some progress on walls…. [Read More]

Touchy Feely Nonsense

March 6, 2018

fat lazy pig selfie

One of my sister’s has been demanding a touchy-feely post – so blame her for this…. What is going on… I’ve spent this winter around Truth or Consequences (T or C), NM. Not because T or C is the warmest place I could find or because there is a huge population of beautiful, wealthy, single… [Read More]

Working on Missy’s Dash and Wiring

Missy Wiring Dash Wire Switches MCI 102-EL3 bus coach panel

This past weekend I decided it was time to do some work on Missy’s dash and wiring. She originally had an audio/visual system that included numerous video screens for the passengers to view movies and such. A great deal of wiring was routed thru the J-box and dash to a control head mounted where my… [Read More]

Excess Hair!

bus boys Buzz Toilet Paper Roll Lock

Hair!!  Hair has been a serious problem for the last few months. It is EVERYWHERE!! I am pretty sure it is not mine. It seems to be coming from the two hairballs that run around here. I decided some changes were in order so I purchased two things. Yes, this is my retail therapy at… [Read More]

Early Morning New Mexico

December 13, 2017

new mexico

Another early morning breakfast flight and another opportunity to behold God’s spectacular creation. New Mexico isn’t for everyone (thankfully!!) but I sure do like it! The photo above is one of the many small volcanoes in the area south of Grants, NM know as the ‘Chain of Craters‘. There are a whole slew of cinder… [Read More]

Busy! Or Lazy….

November 20, 2017

RV-4 New Mexico Mountains Beauty flying aviation

I’m not sure if I’ve been very busy lately or very lazy this past week. I’m hoping for the former but suspecting the latter. I’m traveling to Missouri via RV-4 this week to spend the holiday with family.  In the mean time… here are a few photos from the last week. Parked at Reserve, NM… [Read More]

Woody and Buzz Photo Bomb

September 28, 2017

Woody Buzz cat kitten

A cat-lover friend requested some photos of Woody and Buzz. So, here they are, a Woody & Buzz photo bomb… In order of age (youngest to oldest/most recent).  As a reminder, Woody is brown/tan, Buzz is grey. As always, you can click on a photo to view a larger version. Notice all the room to… [Read More]

Cold? Or just not Hot?

September 19, 2017

Missy bus boys Mt. Taylor New Mexico Grants boondocking forest

This week we are back to the forest. This time near Grants, NM way up high on Mt. Taylor at about 8,000 feet.  I hate to use the word “cold” but… The overnight low has been near 50 degrees the last few nights. As you might guess, Woody and Buzz have been real snugglers with… [Read More]

Shower Construction

August 25, 2017

Missy bus conversion coach shower floor tile

A bit of progress to report! I’ve been working away on the shower. Wait… that kind of implies that I have been consistently and diligently working on it. That is not true…. I’ve been occasionally working on the shower… The walls are up, the base is down, the drain is in, and the floor tiles… [Read More]

Abby Normal??

August 16, 2017

bus boys conversion woody buzz kitten cat Missy

Life is anything but normal right now. Or, at least what I had to come to think of as “normal”….  Come to think of it, I have no normal… Hmmm… My two roommates – Woody and Buzz – are ATTENTION HOGS!!  I now remember why I was considering a mature cat. 🙂 However; they are… [Read More]
