21 Feb., 2009 -- Snow!

Overnight, the world was transformed! I should have made a snowman!

Birds are faring well this winter.
They eat through a bag of bird seed in about 4 days.

20 Feb., 2009 -- Driveway repair

Finally got some salvation for the mud&ruts - gravel, nice white clean gravel.
Remember that mud last week?

Now it looks like this.


Newt showed up in his 172, and Luney motored in for lunch. Busy day!

19 Feb., 2009 - Toby

The sun set in my window just right, and caught old Toby, the Chief.
Flew that one back in the early 90s. Long time ago.

I found Bad Axe, Michigan on Google Earth. Looks like better weather today.

18 Feb., 2009 -- 200 game! 300 days of posting!

Wow, that's once this year, a 200 game! And then, Harry had to beat me by 3 pins.

17 Feb., 2009 -- Gray day

Work work work. Sorting and emailing the stuff I stacked up yesterday!

This is probably the grayest day in history. Windy, too.

16 Feb., 2009 -- Flight today

Clouds finally moved out! Clear skies! Perfect weather for aerial photos.

There is some green stuff growing out there, not much, though.
Mostly the ground is brown and uninteresting.

Except for Stockton Lake... it's always blue and beautiful. Saw one boat.

Don was leaving on his bike after I landed.

And then, Ben landed in Don's old Luscombe.

Even Fonda got to fly!

15 Feb., 2009 -- To Oklahoma tomorrow!

Fly to OK tomorrow to shoot pictures.

Ok, I had to make up this picture. I updated three gps units today,
hadn't done the new map data since 2007. I forgot to take a picture
of my daily accomplishment, so I grabbed a gps image off of Ebay,
and superimposed it with the tangle of cables and cords.
Garmin has raised their rates from $35 per gps unit to $50 each.
You can do the math.
