Aloha and Welcome to my small speck of cyberspace! Dec 8, 2010 is the birth date of my blog. Never had one before, but my son encouraged me to have one, and it seemed like a good way to at least keep a log of my RC airplane building and flying. With the initial design kicked off by my son, I'll carry on from here and have fun with it. Now that I have it, I will use it to also keep track of my oil painting efforts, and any other ideas, hobbies, travels, or whatever else that come up. LIFE IS GOOD!

Update on 02/25/2011. It's been a few months since I began this blog, and I am enjoying creating and having it! I like documenting the things I have done in my hobbies, and sharing with my small family. I think Jer and Tad actually view it fairly regularly, as a means to see what I've been up to lately. At worst, it serves as a reference for my own use.

Update on 12/22/2011. This blog stuff is habit forming. My blog is a year old now, and I make an entry about every other day or so as that seems to be the frequency of doing something in one of my hobbies. Like my hobbies, this blog is a lot of fun, and it has become in itself another hobby that I enjoy.

Years are flying by...update on 01/11/2013. Still enjoying maintaining this blog even though hardly anyone sees it. I don't advertise it anywhere or to anyone, and it is mainly just a way for me to keep my own notes and thoughts on my flying, painting, and cars. If a stranger happens upon it, I think it is by pressing NEXT at the top of the current blog they are visiting, lol. It's a great device for me.

August 2014: still here! Took up flying RC helicopters one year ago and got hooked. Had flown micro Helis up to then, but got serious with 450 size for a couple months, then bought the Goblin 500 and Gaui X5 . Also got my Boxster in April 2013. Most importantly, Ariel was born 12/02/12 followed by Skylar 07/20/13, and they are little beacons of joy in our lives. Life is indeed good!!!

Go Trojan!

It was the day before Christmas, and all through the day, not a breeze was blowing, not even a whisper.  Great day for flying if one did not have fam obligations!  It was over 40F when I went to the field, and it might have hit 50F when I was out there a few hours.  I flew my T-28 Trojan 3 or 4 times.  I lost count as usual and due to one flight being constant TO and landings in both directions.  I would takeoff, turn a 180, touch and go, turn 180, touch and go, etc, back and forth with full flaps down.  There was no wind to consider in either direction, nor crosswind.  I was not the only diehard.  Mike, Doug, and Dave came out too, but that was all.  Doug had fam obligations, so he brought the whole fam out to watch him fly!  Maybe 6 adults, and a couple toddlers watched him fly his Nexstar equipped with snow skis on the trike gear.  It worked like a charm, including still effective ground steering.  It was an odd but cool sight to see the ski equipped plane fly off our slick grass, lol.  The T-28 flew like a champ and just needs some covering repaired on the wing where it got loose from exhausts, so I ripped a couple square inches off so that it would not flap and worsen in the air.  MERRY CHRISTMAS!
