This was a really fantastic morning!  The views and scenery were amazing and the fog really added another dimension.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvkDH62Vef4

Monsoon Season on the Continental Divide

September 8, 2022

youtu.be/RrxmqD-yveg

How about some views of the Continental Divide as it runs thru southwest New Mexico – but this time during monsoon season?!?!? Your wish is my command… This year we had a really fantastic monsoon season with lots of rain. That six weeks of rain really transforms the high desert!! I wish the video really… [Read More]

Van's RV-4 Aircraft New Mexico Low Clouds

More flying videos… apologies for those looking for something else. I just can’t seem to find the time to post about other going’s on. Maybe when it gets cold. https://youtu.be/JPEQ2iRiYgw This one is a 360 degree video. You, the viewer, have control over the direction the camera is pointing. Give it a shot, use your… [Read More]

Idaho Aviation Camping

January 16, 2020

youtu.be/hdQkRgyw4jc

It has taken me a terribly long time but I’ve finally put a video together of my September 2019 camping trip to the Idaho backcountry in my RV-4. I documented that trip in this post but now there is video to go with it!! Now I just need to get to the July 2019 trip……. [Read More]

Amarillo on my mind…

May 17, 2019

I made a day trip to Amarillo, TX earlier this week.  On the way home, I took these photos of some storms over east-central New Mexico.  A very pretty flight home!

Bendit with Snow

January 7, 2019

El Malpais New Mexico snow frosting tree

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]

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]

It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

April 23, 2018

New Mexico Snow Missy

I think I have mentioned that it has been cool way up here on the Continental Divide. A couple days ago, I woke up to this sight! Where are the Christmas decorations! I took those photos before sunrise so the lighting is not the best. Sorry about that… It went away pretty quickly but the… [Read More]

Engine Immersion Heater Testing

January 11, 2018

Missy Immersion Block Engine Heater Testing Heat Warm Cold Weather Kill A Watt Infrared

I’m not sure if I mentioned it previously so again… I found a 120VAC engine immersion heater (or block heater) on Missy a few weeks back. How I found it was a bit odd. Missy does NOT like to start when it is cool or cold. In my little world this is below about 50… [Read More]

Reposition the whole enchilada – Nevada to New Mexico

November 10, 2017

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]
