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!!!

Foggy Flight Log!

Based on weather forecasts we thought the fog would burn off  today by noonish, so we went out, Jer and I.  The weatherman was wrong (again) and it never burned off, but we had a blast anyway, freezing and flying our electrics.  Jer had his Reflection, L-39, and Extra 3D.  I just have the Extra 3D, but Jer let me use some of his batteries, and kept recharging all day with his 12v MR2 battery and charger that I gave him for Christmas.  I probably got 10 flights in.  My batteries in the xmitter finally went too low during a flight and crashed my plane in a dive.  Luckily the plane is feather light, and the grass is soft.  There is some minor damage to foam and cellophane covering that can be fixed with CA and tape.  We had just a few other diehards there today...Joe, Mike, Brandon and Bruce.  Good fun had by all even in the fog and with temps that probably never went over 40F.

    I just wish the charger was perfect on all 4 stations, but it is darn cool seeing you charge up on the tailgate with the small 12v battery. Pretty high tech looking, lol. We always have to LOOK good!
