I'm liking my tax refund this year. 😂

Only 87 hours for the year and no new airports because the plane kept breaking down, and it's currently broken. But I did manage to fly 100 Young Eagles without a mx issue. Hopefully more hours next year and some new airports.

Flew into Halter Ranch Winery last weekend to pick up our wine club shipment. Much more fun than conventional shipping and a tasty lunch too.

Highway 1 south of Big Sur and north of Lucia has been closed for over a year due to this massive landslide. No estimate for reopening since it is still moving up to a foot a day

I think about Valley Fair all the time since I get woken up by their morning deliveries. This was yesterday.

105 hours on the year and ten new airports. It would have been more but my plane decided to break twice (bad alternator and then a flat tire, both on the first flight of the day to fly Young Eagles). www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=RHV-...

Not the best weather for what was probably my last flight of 2024, but at least nature gave us a glory.

91 hours for the year, 40 hours less than 2022 thanks to all the rain and some airline travel. Only 5 new airports, but I did successfully land below sea level. www.gcmap.com/mapui?P=RHV-...
