Constant change…

A number of changes have occurred recently. No surprise right?!?!  🙂 House Most significantly, I sold my house at the airpark. Chalk that up to another lesson learning about myself. I’m not a homeowner. No big surprise there. Purchasing it a couple years ago seemed like the right thing to do. It wasn’t, at least… [Read More]

For Pete

blood guts cut hand sharp knife

I normally try to keep my wood working tools pretty dull. Actually, all my cutting tools. Recently, a friend was teasing me about how dull my knife was so I sharpened it. This is the result!! This is for you Pete!! For those of you that recognize Pete’s name from comments here, he (and his… [Read More]

Airpark Home for the New Year

January 3, 2019

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 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]

Rain, Rain and Monsoon Rain!

July 26, 2018

Missy Hacienda Rain Monsoon Mud

Lots of rain at the Hacienda! This is what the southwest calls the “monsoon season” and it is sure is!! The weather guessers typically predict no rain – or a very low chance of it – and partly cloudy every day. Every day big thunderstorms build in the early afternoon and drop rain. Sometimes LOTS… [Read More]

I have some amazing friends!! I don’t talk about them enough but I am VERY blessed! Three of those friends brought their RV’s up to the Hacienda recently for a weekend visit. Apparently, this was to celebrate some important event – I’m not sure what that was all about. I’ll call them “Dave”, “Ann”, and “Cathy”… [Read More]

For those that are into recording your walking steps per day, check this out! A new personal best! Maybe even a world record!! Funny thing is, about all I recall doing on this day was sitting on the tractor working on the airstrip…. Odd…

High Stress Wallet Games

Lost Found Games wallet credit cards drivers license

This past week I had some fun little games played on me with my wallet. The bus boys are still mighty playful but they seem to have too much time on their hands. This week, they decided to hide my wallet. Go ahead… tell me how innocent they look!!! I got up bright and early… [Read More]

Introducing the New Hacienda – New Mexico Property

Missy New Mexico Thunder Road Cerro Brujos 80 Acres Property

Surprise!!! I am the proud new owner of a wee property in west central New Mexico. It is a wonderful place! VERY quiet! Sorta remote (depending on your definition of ‘remote’). Lots of trees. Nobody within sight. The stars are absolutely fantastic!! I like names and am still searching for the right one for this… [Read More]

The Customer is Always Right

April 4, 2018

Time for a complaining post. I write a lot of these that never go public as none of us care to listen to someone else belly aching.  Probably best to stop reading right here.  🙂 I’ve been doing a bit of wheeling and dealing via the Internet recently. As you know… I’m not much of… [Read More]
