    NA: dog ownership + lawn care

    When I take the dogs out, I carry a watering can. Diluting the urine keeps it from burning the grass.

    Got a laugh in traffic this morning.

    I try to avoid people that are behaving like that. This is the South, you never know if they might start shooting.

    Which is harder to land? Tailwheel or Glider

    I pulled out my logbook, I have six flights in Schweitzers 2-33 and 2-22. IIRC it was not difficult to land, learning to land the Grumman AA-1s i trained in was much more difficult. With the glider, you just fly along close to the ground until you touch down, then put on the brake. The trainers...

    What's For Dinner?

    Made this for the first time last night: Chicken Marsala You don't need the tapioca flour, you could use cornstarch, or just not bother. You will have to go to the liquor store for a bottle of Marsala, it's not real common these days. There are lots of recipes for this, this one is on the...

    Stairway to Heaven - Not the Song

    In the Austrian Alps, there's a mountaineering device called the Stairway to Heaven, although a lot of people would consider it their worst nightmare. I've done a lot of risky stuff, but this is a hard nope, even if I were qualified to try it.

    This flying seems awfully expensive...

    Back to that boating thing for a second. Both I and my wife grew up around boats. I grew up around airplanes as well,my wife did not. Most children take to watercraft quite willingly, so there's no reason not to start them young. At first, all they can do is ride in the boat. After a few...

    This flying seems awfully expensive...

    This flying thing doesn't have to be expensive. If you want to hang glide or paraglide, it's very reasonable. It's having to maintain a 40 plus year old complex mechanical devise that uses a large amount of expensive fuel and expensive storage that gets.. expensive.
