Only 55 this year, if we didn’t cancel our St. Augustine trip before Christmas I would have had added ten more to the total.

As previously stated we also call the FBO for their best advice and contact info. On our most recent call for a rental the prices were crazy high. Four days were $600 for our typical small SUV. The best price was an EV Tesla at $400. I’m NOT doing electric, this old fart is finally...

600 mg ibuprofen makes the back and all my metal parts feel better. I remember taking our Sundowner to Gulf Shores from Wilmington Delaware. Two fuel stops and just shy of ten hours to get there. My metal parts were not wanting to work after that ride. My bride got out at Jack Edwards (JKA)...

I use the notes feature on my phone and log any doctor visits and their info. When it comes time to update med express I can tell what's been previously reported and what I need to add that is new. It works for me.

From what my bride tells me it’s a cruise leaving Seattle. We are waiting to see the itinerary our group puts together. I’ll need time for flying while I’m there.

My copyright issue was not as serious, just a simple pic I took during a flight. I was reading an article about IFR flight and there was my picture I took on the way home from Ithaca NY, in the rain, solid IMC, in my Sundowner. I contacted the publisher and we agreed not to waste print space...

More hours Vacation destinations; back to Vero beach for longer stay, Galveston TX, Mackinac MI, Bahamas, and Alaska with a group of friends where we live. Find someone to fly with when we go to Alaska in August.

I have had great luck with the Michelins and Pirellis over the years on both car and now two SUV's. I religiously rotate the tires every other oil change about 10k miles. I'm actually due for tires on my SUV (03 ML320 242k miles) so I am starting to price what's out there. My SUV is for hauling...

Where ever you decide to stay make sure you have dinner at JK'S located at 1106 S Croatan Highway Mile Post 9 ByPass in Kill Devil Hills. The best steaks !

Martin, Always a fun ride along, thanks for sharing.

I use MyFlightbook. I have the instructor fill out the standard preset notes in my regular log book then take a picture and add it to the flight info. The instructor fills out the info on my MyFlightbook and adds his name and cert number. I also back up MyFlightbook every month to an excel file.

Savannah is also on our short list. Always looking for info on things to do, and places to stay and eat. For now we’re focused on Saint Augustine in December. Booked a place to stay and transportation.

You're not kidding, the morning rush was unbelievable. In order to get across the three lanes for the turning lane I hugged the right lane went down to the first traffic light and made U turn in a bank parking lot, then came out to the light and made a left to get across the road on RT. 25.

I had to laugh when I read this. When we sat down for lunch at the Corner Kitchen my bride kept people watching, I asked what's up. She said this place is like a hippie gathering place, I almost blew my sweet tea out.

Mary and I decided on a quick hop just to get away for our 19th wedding anniversary. We have had Asheville NC, more specifically, the Biltmore Estate on our list for some time. The link to my blog post and video is listed below. We did have a fun time exploring the Biltmore estate. Everything...

Its pretty easy to get around the TFR outter ring. A VFR flight following super secret squirrel squawk code and you’re good. The only stickler is Dover won’t turn you south to the KOXB airport, instead they hand you off to Patuxent approach to do the deed. Living here in ocean city MD and...

I still check up on our first plane. When I sold it, may 2018, the guy that bought it did not have his PPL yet, so he flew in a CFII. They flew the plane from coast to coast, Ocean City MD to Camarillo CA, and as of this morning the owner still is without his PPL. It's a shame he lets the...

I use my notes on the phone. I list the date, doctor, and reason. When it comes time for the medical just copy your notes, easy peasy.

I think at one time or another we all go through that cycle. Prior to my accident I was always in the air, post off airport adventure, I'm more laid back. I'm not as much into runs for breakfast as much as flying the mission. We love to travel so that's what I focus on. I'll admit that desire...

The last trip to Wilkes-Barre, by plane, was September 2020. It’s been a while since heading north to take care of my parents grave. Mary and I both commented that we couldn’t remember the last time we headed north, I had to look back on my blog. My last flight to Wilmington was 17 months ago...
