At 2:10 p.m., five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers comprising Flight 19 take off from the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station in Florida on a routine three-hour training mission. Flight 19 was scheduled to take them due east for 120 miles, north for 73 miles, and then back over a final 120-mile leg that would return them to the naval base. They never returned.

Trip to Page Arizona

2009-01-20T21:56:00.000-08:00

For MLK day I had a property to look at in Page so we flew up to page. We found this cool slot canyon, when we got to it the entrance had a pay booth but no one was around. So we just helped our self’s to the canyon. When we got back out of the canyon this Indian guy was talking to a big group of people and taking their money to go down to in to the belly of this canyon. So we jumped in to the rental car and took off.

Happy 2009

My life is a Tornado

2008-07-08T00:07:00.000-07:00

The past two weeks have been super busy, I feel like I was put into a tornado. Traveled to Bullhead City/Kingman/Laughlin/Fort Mohave/Payson/Flagstaff.
Bullhead was hot as Hell, it was 118 degrees, it was so hot I decided to stay the night and fly out when it was cooler. So I stayed the night in Laughlin, and got up the next morning at 5 AM it was 95 before the sun came up! I flew up to 13,500 feet and it was a nice 40 degrees and a smooth flight all the way home. O and a retired couple came in to my office this week and bough lot 14 a speck home that is about finished. Let’s just say it looks like a tornado hit my office, it is a mess.

Back to reality. It’s always hard to go back to work after a vacation. But the good news is my airplane is back in service and what a blessing it is. I took an assignment in Sierra Vista a 5-6 hour drive one way or a 3 hour flight round trip, thank goodness that I am back in the air. The Sierra Vista airport is a municipal airport and a Military base all in one airport. It’s kind of crazy to be flying in to an airport with military aircraft all over. When I was doing my run up and check list before my departure back to Taylor, I saw this crazy looking aircraft coming in to land. It is called a Predator an unmanned spy plane. I was amazed how big they are.

For the past couple weeks my airplane has been in the Shop for its annual check-up. Along with an extensive fuel tank repair. (Not a cheap or quick fix). So I had to drive to Kingman it’s a killer drive. I did however; find a cool old building on my way home. Also I have been experimenting with a digital photography method called “Tone Mapping” So I tried it out on this old building. The photo was taken off of the Jackrabbit exit along I-40. Enjoy the photo.

The 1935 Project

2008-04-16T22:17:00.000-07:00

For the past 4.5 years now we have been working on our home that was constructed in 1935. It has been fun but a lot of work, we still are working on the exterior, new fence, paint, and the list never stops.
Anyways the picture is of one of the door knobs from inside the house. I was looking at the door knob wondering if in 73 years, the doors that we install in the homes that we are building will still work. I doubt it.

Crank it up and enjoy the 90’s!!

2008-04-13T21:01:00.001-07:00

This weekend we had a great trip. We went to the Valley for a weekend without the kids! We ended up driving, so on our way back we decided to go through Globe. And we stopped and had a photo shoot. Since I am infatuated with old buildings I could not resist putting some more building pictures.

Music disclaimer, Maegan and I have been thinking of some old 90’s songs that used to be popular and we made a list of some of our favorite songs. If you don’t know them you are deprived of the 90’s culture that just rocks. And music hasn’t been the same since for the good or the bad, u tell us?

2008-03-28T22:06:00.000-07:00

This past couple weeks, Maegan has potty trained Branson. He turned 2 in March, and he has been doing great. During nursery last week, I went to take him to the bathroom and he was gone. I asked the nursery teacher where he went. She said, he asked them to take him to the bathroom! Not too bad for a 2 year old.

A lot of traveling

2008-03-21T22:11:00.000-07:00

A lot of traveling
So I was trying to figure out how many business miles I traveled in 2007 for my taxes, I had about 14,000 driving miles on my truck and about 15,000 flying miles in my airplane, a total of about 29,000 miles. So I did some research and the earth is about 24,000 miles around at the equator. I traveled as many miles as the world is round, and I never left Arizona. (Not including 2007 trips to Hawaii, Mexico, Utah, Ect..)

Scott & Nate

2008-03-18T21:39:00.000-07:00

I finally got my old hard drive fixed. The hard drive had all of my old photos and videos since 1999. I found this picture of Scott and Nathan and our old Dodge Omni. Man that was a sweet car I think we sold it for $500 big ones! Oh by the way they are both available bachelors any takers!!!

2008-03-12T20:39:00.000-07:00

Ok so this has been a particularly interesting week. I was hired by a company as a consultant to get a project passed by the County planning and zoning. Anyways the project was quite controversial to say the least. So the county required us to have a public meeting to inform the neighbors, and I hosted the meeting at my office! Wow these people came out of the hills like cockroaches’. The area only has about 10 homes at the most, and about 80 people showed up at the meeting. And let me tell you they were a bunch of psychos. Ok maybe about 5 of them were halfway normal. Because of the large amount of controversy, before the meeting we decided to locate the proposed site to a new location. So I made the announcement to the angry mob! And let me tell you these people were so dang uneducated that they didnt understand and they still wanted to fight. Let’s say the only real impact of the meeting was that these people leaked a crap load of oil from all the cars all over our brand new asphalt parking lot.

So the next day I went to the Town Council meeting to make a statement, informing the people a second time that we would be moving the site to a new location over 14 miles from the cockroaches area, and they were still just bent. LOL. When I was leaving I was mobbed by some jack A and he told me off. LOL.

So anyways it was quite a week so far. The good news is that I sold another house today to a very nice couple! You win some you lose some!

Boy for those who say the real-estate market is slow they must be doing something wrong! This has been one crazy week. Somehow I have managed to get myself involved in so many business ventures I feel like this car picture I am a disorganized wreck. The good news is I sold 2 of my speck homes this week (14 more to go)! That means we are two steps closer to building our final home.

Suns Game

2008-02-09T19:31:00.000-08:00

So we finally got to use our Christmas Present. Maegans parents gave us a weekend of babysitting for Christmas. So we flew to the valley and went to a Suns Game! Although we love our kids, it is sure nice to travel without them.

Last week it was boys weekend at home, the girls went to Mesa, so we went to Grandpa’s farm in Snowflake. Since Holly hasn’t ridden her horse in forever Cardston and Branson did. Branson was scared to death! Although the tempeture didn’t get above freezing allday long we had a great time.

Notice the temperature
The one on the left is me in Bullhead City (115 degrees) in July and the one on the right is Flagstaff (15 degrees) in December. A nice 100 degree temperature spread and only 160 miles apart from each other.

O and by the way the speed limit was 75 MPH I was driving slow becuase I always drive slow!

2007-11-19T18:59:00.000-08:00

Ok so we went to the Ryan Shupe concert in Show Low the other night. And I think Maegan is now going to ditch me for Ryan. Maegan and her friend managed to get another song dedicated to them. Our marriage is now on the rocks. I think my Guitar skills will need to be polished up, so she will like me again. Maybe I should shave my head? Wait maybe I should learn to play the fiddle.

Even if she decides to hook up with him, his music rocks.

Mexico in October

2007-10-18T19:06:00.000-07:00

Ok so we found the best week to go to Mexico. The middle of October has the best weather and the Water is so nice. We ditched church and drove down on Sunday, and when we got to the Mexico border we drove right across, but all of the drivers returning back to the USA had three cars deep and 5 miles backed up. And when we got to Rocky Point we were the only people in Town!! Our condo has three pools and we had them all to our selves it was great. Also if you love Shrimp October – December is Shrimp heaven. Remember in January 2008 you will need to have a passport for every one even the kids to get back in to the USA.
