I’ve been enduring a case of dumb animals this week. There are a number of small birds here on the homestead that are pretty determined to fly thru a few of Missy’s closed windows. By itself, that is not a terribly annoying problem. Add a couple dumb cats to the mix that are pretty determined… [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]

Fly Fishing Waders
My first few fly fishing trips were with boots and neoprene stockings. That felt just fine. The days were hot and getting into that cool water felt great. However; my mentor went and ruined it for me. He talked me into trying a pair of his waders one day… Yup, we both know what happens… [Read More]
Fly Fishing
I am not a fisherman. I tried spin/cast fishing many times when I was young – I didn’t catch much and I didn’t find it interesting. That said; fly fishing has always interested me. I assume that was because I had never tried it (the allure of the unknown) but it seemed to have aspects that… [Read More]
Aircraft Purchase
When I sold my Vans RV-3, Daisy, all of my friends predicted that I would not be without an aircraft for long. They were right. I have purchased a brand spanking new aircraft and I am back in the air (so to speak). I lasted nearly four months. This is her. She is a UDI… [Read More]
