Another year of treating. Once again we were invited to go into Bangor and walk the cul-de-sac on Drew Ln. Nathan was a fighter pilot this year. He snagged a small amount candy so we won’t feel too guilty about tossing it in the trash when he’s not looking.

Let’s Go Hunting
It was that time of year again. The time when my friend Matt comes up and we go over to his Bradford property and we “hike with guns”. This year wasn’t much different. We had a great walk on the land and saw some new areas (at least areas that had changed). We didn’t see… Continue reading »

Acrobatic Flight (Sorta)
OK, it wasn’t acrobatic, but it was still an exciting ride. A new friend at church had built an airplane a few years ago and offered to take me for a ride (He has over 260 hrs of logged flights). I love flying and small planes are a treat. With a mere 22′ wingspan and… Continue reading »

Sonex Joy Ride
I was finally able to get out with my “AOPA Pilot Mentor” today. We’ve been waiting all Fall for the Dexter airport runway to be finished. He had his plane parked up to Lincoln so a quick joy-ride was a little harder to plan. Dexter finished the runway, and he brought his plane back so… Continue reading »

Student Pilot – Lesson 2
Lesson 2. Still very “nervous”. Lots of butterflies. Trying to get a handle on my “control phreak” syndrome, because.. as you can well guess.. when it comes to flying, I’m not “really” in control. Not yet anyway. That will come, I just need to tell myself to calm down while I get there. Thanks for… Continue reading »

Climbing Again
Time was running out for good climbing weather. The Jr High Boys at church were next for an outdoor climb and the rain was making it hard to get a climb in. We had a ton of rain yesterday, but the weather was suppose to be good toady, so we tossed a quick trip together.… Continue reading »

Climbing (Indoors)
It’s official. Nathan is scared of heights. That’s OK, he may work out of it eventually. He had climbed in a rock gym several years ago at the YMCA and had forgotten that he was a bit shaky at 10 feet. After his incident at Eagles Bluff, he was pretty big jawed about climbing indoor.… Continue reading »

Major First Fourth Grade Project
Nathan had his first major project due at school recently. They had quite a few choices of “Output” to pick from.. he chose the timeline version. He did quite a bit of research for it and Mama was a big help. And did a great job on the tri-fold board he put together with Grammy… Continue reading »

Student Pilot – Lesson 1
Off on my new adventure! I’m going to try and earn my Private Pilot Certificate in the next year. For now, I’m mostly documenting this for myself, eventually, I’d like to include some in-flight video and other interesting pieces. For now, it’s just me narrating the ordeal and a few photos. Thanks for watching.

Pee Wee Soccer
Another cool and damp Saturday in October. It seems they all were. Nathan had Pee Wee soccer again. He’s only made a couple of them due to schedules and weather. He doesn’t like soccer like he used to, now of course it’s baseball or bust. But he likes to hang out with his friends in… Continue reading »
