Took this one when I lived in Phoenix, descending into Deer Valley airport, kind of a split view dropping under the clouds. Was kinda neat, one moment daylight, next twilight, and almost a night landing. Was really smooth that evening, during the day it was often real bumpy in little prop planes. Don't do that anymore, costs too much to rent the little ones. Always cost too much to rent the multi-engine and jets, never flew those.



Couldn't remember the name of the airport, looked for it on Google maps, almost missed it; looked north of town, and it ain't past the town anymore, it's in it a ways. That place sure has spread out, lotsa freeways now that weren't there then. I bought a house in '74 that was a few miles south of that airport, right on the desert, could ride atv's or trailbikes across the road and spend all day on dirt. Would have to trailer them several miles from that house now. Sometimes progress sucks. Wouldn't mind having a home near Prescott or Sedona, though.

 

Illinois has beautiful sunsets. But, I don't ever want live there to see them.

Went fishing today. Wouldn't have gone hungry, but didn't catch anything of any size worth talking about. Beautiful day, regardless!

 

had a good day....rode the bike, drank the beer, and slept on da couch! perfect!

 

Checkin in.....

 

Phhttt. Just sucked today. Getting ready to take the little guy for a sidecar ride, turned the fuel selector on, gas poured out the right side carb overflow. ARGH! Why couldn't it have been the one hanging out in the open instead of the one between the bike and sidecar tub. I pushed it back in the grudge and closed the door... Prolly a stuck float or a bit of crud in the needle. Later. Anudder day. Craigslist ads are all more than I paid for it, mebbe I could flip it... Even fixed the front brake, hardly slowed it down before. I figure it needs about 84 more hours of werk...

 

Jeez oldee.... sounds like more fun that I could stand.....

 

A little more one armed sanding today.... getting close to powder coat time...

 

Hey Ken, good to see you still at it. The frame looks terrific. Realy looking forward to the day, and I know it's coming, when you and the wife walk in the door to see SugarLips' store. Got some ideas for a biker poser quilt for ya!

Outta here.... see the Doc in the morning, see when physical torture is to start.... laaater!
