Lately, I’ve turned my attention to the heavens. Well, at least up to the ceiling. The winter months always call for more light and I don’t have much of it right now. That has caused me to think about getting on with the ceiling – into which I will be mounting the light fixtures (all… [Read More]
Reposition the whole enchilada – Nevada to New Mexico
The last month has had me busy searching for a winter “home”. Owning an airplane has dramatically changed my “simple” life and I knew that staying in Carson City was not an option (it get’s cold and white there!). A big part of finding a winter home was finding a hangar for the plane. I… [Read More]
How to get stuck?? In a Bus??
One of my highest priorities when poking Missy into remote locations is to avoid getting stuck. Recently, I failed… miserably… I was REALLY hoping to never find out how much one of those really big tow trucks cost. Now I know. Trust me, they are NOT cheap. How did it happen?? Well, I pulled onto… [Read More]
The Wonders of a Cold Shower
I had two friends visit me a weekend or two ago. Both of these fellows are hearty enough but, sadly, fairly domesticated. I had almost forgotten what it was like… The shower in Missy is plenty “usable.” However; when boondocking, there is no hot water. This is because I just haven’t gotten any further in… [Read More]
Lake – Tahoe and Lahontan
Not a lot of news to report… OH WAIT!! There is news! TODAY IS MY MOM’S BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!! I took a few sunset photos last night of my current beach camping spot at Lahontan State Recreation Area near Silver Springs, NV. The leaves on the trees are a nice gold color so clearly… [Read More]
Not Dry Lake Bed and Lots of Flying Fun
This past weekend I made a trip out to the Dead Cow dry lake bed for the High Sierra Fly-In. This is close to Herlong, CA. What a busy weekend! A significant cold front was due to pass thru the area on Thursday night and it sure did! The wind was howling all night. I… [Read More]
Oil Leak…. still tracking…
Yes… Missy still has an engine oil leak. I first talked about it here. That oil is getting all over her backside and the Jeep. It isn’t a lot but it sure makes a mess! I am tired of having a black and crusty back side. Once again, I stuck my head and arms inside… [Read More]
Nevada Boondocking
Someone told me recently that Nevada is 85% public land – such as that managed by the BLM and Forest Service. I didn’t check out the information but from what I’ve seen, it isn’t terribly wrong. I’m currently located on a nice big chunk of BLM managed land near the Carson River and Silver Springs,… [Read More]
Elusive Vibration – Wheel Centering
I learned something this week about vibration and I hope it will save someone from spending the money I have spent to learn about it. It may be common knowledge which makes me an idiot – but no big surprise there. I have been fighting a vibration in Missy at cruise speed. It has been… [Read More]
Mirrored Medicine Cabinet
A nice two-door, mirrored medicine cabinet showed up at my door a couple months ago. I didn’t do anything with it as I was so busy on other things. Well… not entirely true. I did have time to crack the mirror on one of the doors. Other than that, I didn’t do anything. As with… [Read More]
