Took a while to post these pictures, but last week I flew my wife and Adelyn out to Bremerton to visit Nani & Papa & Riley too! Adelyn did great on the flight. It was a very short hop, ~20-30 minutes, and sure beats the hours of driving it would take each way (or ferry more »
Yesterday I took about an hour’s worth of ground-school training towards my complex endorsement so I can fly the Piper Arrow II at Regal Air. The complex endorsement allows you to fly single engine aircraft that have flaps, retractable landing gear, AND an adjustable-pitch propeller. If you just have 2 of the 3, no more »
Yesterday we went to the Pacific Science Center to check out the butterfly exhibit they have. It was a BLAST, and it had been a looong while since I’ve been there. At first Adelyn was really excited to see the butterflies, but then one of them landed on her and sent her running… She eventually more »
Now for the hard part… Migrating my old content. I ended up following one of several guides that included backing up the MySQL DB on my hosting provider, restoring it on my new server, and copying all the content over.

I’ve been actually starting to use / post things to my site for a couple of months now, and have been very disappointed with my shared hosting provider.

From the AOPA Air Safety Institute Seminars page:
What would we do without charts? They’re one of the most fundamental parts of flying-but they can also be challenging to interpret, difficult to read, and sometimes head-scratchingly confusing. Our new live seminar is meant to help you master them. We’ll quiz you more »
In the last two posts (Puzzle Box, and Puzzle Box – Part 2) I talked about how I was building a Reverse Geocache (TM) puzzle box for my wife for Christmas. In this post I’ll share the journey that we went on after I gave it to her. I wrapped it more »
MMMmmm… Malasadas. Though similar items exist in many different parts of the world, I’m very proud of my Portuguese heritage for this one. I’ve made malasadas a few times over the years (my family will say not enough), each time getting a little better, each time tweaking the recipe to try to make something close to more »
I recently picked up a tiny little computer called a Raspberry Pi for $35+Shipping and was looking for some neat projects for it. It can run a full blown Linux OS and has quite a bit of Oompfh! for something as small and as cheap as it is. more »
