I now have a Bowser. It is SUPER cute! I imagine everyone’s big questions are what and why!! Until recently, I was unaware of the “what” so that is a pretty fair question. A Bowser is (apparently) an English term for a tanker (per Wikipedia). In this specific case, it is a little fuel trailer… [Read More]
SolidWorks and a new RV-4 Instrument Panel
I’ve been “stretching” my brain a bit lately. A whole lotta bits actually… I plan to build a new instrument panel for my RV-4 and install modern avionics such as this Sport EX EFIS (electronic flight information system) from Grand Rapids. This type of instrument (EFIS) combines a whole slew of old-style instruments into one… [Read More]
Early Morning 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….
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]
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]
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]
The End of the End?? – OR – Continuation of the Period Before the End??
Many asked, many wondered silently… How long could I stand to be away from flying? It turns out the answer is two-and-a-half years. Ok… two years, seven months, and eight days – OR – 952 days – OR – 22,848 hours. Yes, I am back in the plane game. I now own a Van’s RV-4…. [Read More]
Reserve Breakfast

Last weekend a friend asked me to fly to breakfast with him in his Cessna 195 – a beautiful antique airplane! We made an experimental trip to Reserve, NM and found a great little airport and some wonderful food! The following video is a short production of the trip. Thanks Dave!
Flying Again
The past couple weeks I have been back in my old home – Mid Valley Airpark. My friends have treated me well and I’ve done enough flying to satisfy the urge. Thank you guys! I am truly blessed with all the wonderful friends that I have. Seeing friends all summer in Montana and then returning… [Read More]
