While the condor is the most efficient natural traveling animal, a man on a bicycle surpasses it in efficiency. The feeling of your body operating at maximum speed and feeling strong is a simple pleasure that cannot be replicated. You can't help but grin. Pairing a bike with an airplane makes for a ...

Sleep testing... Burlington, Boston, Portland, Bar Harbor. Always direct the red carpet to the passenger side, but if you forget at least have her stand on it for a photo. https://i.postimg.cc/4y3nPQWt/IMG-20180802-114019.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/3NwW1Ftv/IMG-20180802-163610.jpg https://i.postimg.cc...

Slept hard, woke up late feeling great, shipped some parts and started the printers to make some parts, and decided to ride the bike since the weather was clearing. I planned for 45 miles but was feeling good so I extended to 80. A headwind for 40 miles, then a tailwind. :) I added another ridge pro...

First flight, I remember developing tunnel vision for about five seconds after takeoff, then it cleared. I looked it up later and have never experienced this phenomenon since. Tunnel vision manifests in two primary ways: as a cognitive narrowing of focus during high-stress situations, or as a physic...

My most memorable view from an aircraft.

The panel has power.

This photo was taken when I wore glasses for the past 40 years, but I no longer need them and don't miss them.

Now I remember, building an airplane is a lot of work!

That's a nice viewpoint.

These numbers are typical for me now, fluctuating only a couple of points either way, but very consistent. There's been a significant improvement over the past couple of years. OMAD works! My eyesight has also improved. I am a walking experiment. 2PM https://i.postimg.cc/sgY0jFvf/IMG20260519173607.j...

Just another run, but I tried raspberry poppyseed cake for the first time, and it was delicious! If you're a fan of the color green, you would have loved the route today – the amount of green was incredible. There was quite a bit of wind today, and I estimated burning around 3500 calories. The food ...

Fuel sump drain plunger... I've been using this one for the past four years without issue. Recently, I needed to drain a couple of quarts to clear a weeping sump and wondered if larger ears would be beneficial, so I enlarged them and will be conducting a test. It's really convenient to print parts b...

I had planned to ride to Columbus, Ohio, 100 miles east, but it was cloudy, cooler, and windy, so I headed west to the other Columbus, in Indiana. It's amazing how a 200-mile difference can improve the weather! A couple of years ago, I thought a trip around Columbus was a long way, but now I use it ...

Sometimes when pulling a bike over the seat, the seatbacks pull forward slightly, allowing the seatbelts to move behind them. I've had enough of that, so I made a seatback latch using 3M Dual Lock. Initial tests were promising, and I'll be testing one side to see if this approach is sufficient. It m...
