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!!!

New Membership Card

After using the same background for our KRCA membership card for a few years, I wanted to create something different for a change.  I looked for pre-printed business card stock at Office Depot and online, and found the same ones as usual...either the USA flag (good but it is what we used for years) and the clouds.  I decided to find online images related to aviation to use as a background, and to fit the winner onto plain business card stock, using my own printer and ink. I figured with only 60+ members and 10 cards to a sheet, that I would only be printing 8 or so sheets, allowing for mistakes.  The printing is done in two steps of course.  First I print the plain business card sheets with the background on them.  Then I print the club name and member info onto those sheets, as members submit their yearly dues.  The final product is pictured here:
I issued and mailed the first 7 membership cards for 2013 a few days ago, and was really pleased to get a call from Doug the other night.  He said he liked the new card so much that he just wanted to call to express his opinion.  Made me feel good, and I hope most everyone else also likes the new card.  Note that I noticed the uncentered line that says "2013 Member", and will have it centered on the future cards printed.  BTW the color on the actual cards is a little more vivid than in the photo.
