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!!!

Lotsa Flights!

For ME, it was a lot of flights that I had today.  Really nice weather, just overcast, but cool, calm, and no rain to speak of.  I flew the Stinger 4 times, the Intruder 3 times, and the Blade 400 through all 4 battery packs.  All came home in one piece, and I did not damage any blades on the Blade 400.  Although it was a great flying day, there were hardly any fliers today.  Bob R left when I arrived at 9AM.  Rudy came an hour or so later.  Rudy successfully maidened his second new Osiris with great success...looks like his new fave plane!  Anthony and Quang beat the air to death with electric and nitro choppers.  Quang remaidened his big chopper after totalling it a couple weeks ago at his other club when the clutch went out at 3' off the deck.  Mike came but not to fly, just to train Ken late in the day.  Shane came late, as did Joe.  Most of the time, it was just Rudy and me flying, with Mike kibbitzing.  Made for a great day , and I came home totally spent.  With so few fliers, we actually had more spectators than fliers, with Dan and Matt saying they just sent me their membership forms and fees, Dave and sons watching, asking, and showing much interest in the hobby, and another fella from the Mt Angel club who came to buy a Cub from Joe, but spent a couple hours watching and talking to us.  Came home around 3PM after about 6 hours at the field!
