A HUGE "Thank you!" to Bruce Chien, for helping my husband get his medical back. Words can not adequately express my gratitude. Tom will once again be able to do what he loves, and that is teaching people to fly. Tom has a lot of students eager to either get back to flying, or to start flying...

It's time again for a fly-in at the farm. We were hoping for cooler weather, but, hay, it's August! Fly-in starts about 3:00 this Sunday afternoon, with food (bring food!) starting about 5:00. Hope to see some of you here! :) Previous threads about fly-ins at the farm...

A big thanks to Steve See for flying up to help us take Young Eagles flying at our local airport. These middle school kids got to go flying as a reward for reaching their goal of reading twenty specific books in a state reading program this past school year. The kids also wrote reports on...

Tom finally agreed to travel to Europe with me. This will be the first time for both of us. We mainly want to see Paris, rural France, Venice, Tuscany, vineyards, and a castle or two. We're rural folks, so we would like to see rural areas, either by car or train. We're not into museums, at...

Bruce and Sue Chien will be flying down to the farm (08MO) this Saturday. :) We'll be hanging out at the farm/flying around if anyone wants to fly in for a visit. :) I'll drag out the parachutes if anyone wants to go upside down. We will be grilling burgers and hot dogs for supper...

I'm feeling the urge to meander again. :yes: My Citabria has been down for way too many weeks and I'm feeling the need for some flying. First planned stop will be the Fort Parker fly-in (near Groesbeck) on October 6th. Then I may stop to see Joyce if she's home. Barb may fly down with...

Twin Oaks Airport now has a used golf cart to make things easier. We know nothing at all about golf carts (obviously we aren't golfers. :D) and would like some input on what not to do, what mods to add on etc. It had a golf bag cart on the back which we removed and we were thinking of adding...

Soooooo, it's time to replace our garden tractor...well...tractors. Both the old Sears Craftsman garden tractors are shot. One of them was pronounced dead today. The big John Deere 420 tractor is in the shop for some major work and won't be back home for weeks, maybe months. We need a...

We saw the iCloud! We spotted it while flying in Joe Areeda's Cirrus near L.A. last week. :D

A friend of ours is thinking about buying a 1973 Cardinal, and it has a Lycoming O&​VO-​360 ​SER engine in it. What does O&​VO-​360 ​SER mean?

Does anyone know how to put a PDF file on a Facebook page? Thanks. :)

The two-hour special of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" tomorrow night will be about the seven houses built in Joplin following the devastating tornado. In this video is Dr. Bruce Dallman, Dean of the Technology Department at Pittsburg State University. Some of you met Bruce Dallman at our...

A question for those of you who have experience in dealing with property...what is the best way to do this: If you own 200 acres of pasture/crop land with grass runways on the property, and want to continue to live on the farm and use the airfield for at least ten years, how would you sell...

As our Hughes satellite equipment is aging, and we are, and always have been unhappy with Hughes/Direcway satellite service, we are exploring alternate ways to get on the internet. So, I thought I'd ask my computer/internet gurus here. As most of you already know from my history of posting...

Kim took off from the farm this morning to head home, and I was taking photos of her as she took off. Later when looking back over the photos, I noticed what the wind sock was doing as she took off. Here are some photos as she lifted off. Notice the wind sock. Would that temporary...

You may have a photo of your airplane at Oshkosh on this site. I don't know when the photographer took that particular photo, but I'm glad I didn't have my laundry hanging out when he walked by. :D Does anyone else have a photo of their airplane taken at Oshkosh by that photographer? I...

Steve See and his family and I would like to go out to dinner with some of you guys tonight. He said he could get away by 7:00. There are 5 of us and we would need a ride to meet up with you. Anyone available?

So, what kind of tent do you all have/like? I'm trying to figure out what tent to take to OSH this year. Last time I camped there, the 2-man tent was way too small for two of us, so I'm looking for a 3-man tent that is lightweight, will fit under my wing and will have good ventilation and a...

I flew for lunch the other day. Kim flew down and I flew up to Miami County to meet up for lunch. It was a beautiful day to fly and the wind was right down the grass runway at Miami County. I was on a 75-mile final for Runway 33 when I departed the farm. You could smell the BBQ taxiing up to...

So, next weekend I'm driving a Penske moving truck from Dallas to Atlanta to help my son move. Lots of solo time on the road. What do y'all listen to on the road? :)
