Dreaming of Flying















Ford Tri-Motor. Just look at the head room.


















Dreaming of a P-51. If only I had a spare 3-4 million for a new toy.

















It's even glorious on the ground.

















Just how cool is this Beech?

Oh yeah.. When I get my bi-annual flight review, I'll have pictures of a real "flying" squirrel. Heck, I may even have a Woodchuck peanut pusher, er.. I mean co-pilot.

I can push peanuts with the best of them if it means flight time.

Oh the comments I can make in this context about Squirrel and his nuts... but this is a family blog.

I too dream about flying...


...and having a job to pay for the flying lessons, but that's a story for another day, my furry friend.

P.S. Thank you for the crash course in low riders!!

Beech shredded most of the pusher turbo prop designs. That is a rare bird, most of them were leased and when the leases ran out, Beech did not want the liability and warranty obligation from selling them. Only a that were purchased outright remain. Protect it with your life!

Wild cow and Druish Deities

I have been blessed with being able to drive some of the most unbelievable roads ever paved. Last week I found myself on HWY 108 in Central California. 130 Miles 26% grade 9624 at the summit 4 hours to drive this route This photo is looking west just down from the summit. I could live here with the wild cows. A lone wild cow at the 9000 foot level just making sure that nobody is speeding along.

Madison, WI.

The whole theme today was a Woodchuck and his ale. I found a nice little place in downtown Madison, WI. called the Great Dane Pub & Brewing Company. This was one of the best IPAs I've had east of the Rockies. Fun little place to go and the food was not to bad either. Traveling the Globe...ok, just the North American continent in search of the perfect pint on IPA. Hops, they are not just for breakfast anymore.
