I'll take these beautiful days of Indian Summer, breezy or not. It might have been 5-10mph this AM, but I saw the breeziness at home, so I brought my SNAFU to the field for playing in the wind. It was plain old FUN, just horsing the light and agile SNAFU in the the breeze. Mike came out too, and did the same with his Uproar, and Steve E with his Blade 450. He must be good because he made the chopper look very stable in the gusty conditions. Wind was out of the south so I did all takeoffs and landings on the short N/S runway, with landing rollouts of under 5 feet all the time.
The wind and sun were perfect for drying off the roads, so upon returning home from flying, I changed into clean jeans immediately and vacated the premises in my Corvette. Ahhhhh, it was sublime taking about a 45 minute drive just around town...from West Salem south on Commercial/Liberty/Skyline, east on Kuebler, north on Turner Rd, 22 and 25th St, back west on State, Marion, and Edgewater. I love this Corvette and have to wonder about the benefits of switching to the 2013 Boxster. I would love that roadster, but would I love it enough to warrant spending nearly $60k on it? Just the thought of being able to do it gives me a charge, and it is the only other brand car (Porsche) that I lusted for in all my previous years besides the Corvette. Great dreaming! Life IS good!
This is just a place for me to ramble (sometimes rant) about my hobbies which include radio controlled airplanes, oil paintings, my sports cars, and any other random blithering from me.
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!!!
