My partial collection of rifles and shotguns.

A quick review on the Tecovas boots that I purchased back in October 2023

After a few delays, SpaceX launched 22 Starlink satellites into orbit tonight. Another successful launch from SpaceX

We performed a practice ILS precision approach to Tampa Airport in this flight simulator, as it was showtime!

This was a practice flight in a Cessna CE-680 flight simulator, and we flew a total of four hours. We practiced a few precision and non-precision instrument approaches. It was lots of fun and we enjoyed this opportunity a lot.

We were given two hours per pilot to fly a training flight, and it felt good to be able to "fly" and practice our trade. This is a Cessna CE-680 Sovereign simulator, and it is as realistic as the real thing.

I purchased a three person Allen and Roth Swing Chair with Canopy (set), and the instructions are so poor that it is embarrassing difficult to put the set together. I decided to put the set together and record the important parts so you can do this project without much frustration.

After so many years of wanting to purchase and own a good pair of cowboy boots, I finally made a decision; I purchased two pairs of Tecovas! This decision was not an easy one to make, and after a very long research and comparing the best boots available, I went ahead and drove two hours from Orlando all the way to Jacksonville, Florida just to be able to visit the only Tecovas store in the state of Florida. I must confess that it was worth it 100%

This play is dedicated to Ceci and all others who are suffering from an illness. We hope that you will get el soon.

A severe thunderstorm was raging outside our home tonight with lots of hail, wind, lighting, and an incredible amount of rain falling.

Just a casual walk amongst the many wonderful aircraft on display at the 2023 Sun' n Fun Airshow. Military aircraft never disappoint.

I got to see this 1940s historical landmark that was used by civilians to help with the coastal protection as a lookout for the US Army and US Coast Guard. During WWII, the Kriegsmarine had few U-Boats patrolling the American litoral in search of ships that represented targets of opportunity for the U-Boats.

Fun and scary display found at Lowes front entrance. The two tall ones were each about 15 feet tall, wow!

The sleepy little town of Lautzenhausen in Germany. This town is adjacent to the Frankfurt Hahn Airport.

Beautiful side view landing sequence at Haneda International Airport, Tokyo Japan

Another beautiful early morning over the Philippines Sea.

These are the latest electronic passengers window shade, found in most modern passenger aircraft.

The biggest complaint from all the crewmembers at the hotels that are located around the Frankfurt Hahn Airport is the lack of air conditioning in the rooms. These hotels have been remodeled, and new thermal windows have been installed. However, there are almost no rooms with an air conditioning unit installed in it. So, the solution at the Fortuna Hotel has been to place an Arctic Air tabletop air conditioning unit in each room. Yes, this is the same "As seen on TV" Arctic Air unit, and it works!

Panchito is a B-25 medium range bomber built by North American Mitchell Aircraft Co. on February 1945 and did not participated during WWII.

We do not celebrate Memorial Day as an excuse to make it a day for BBQ and an opportunity to drink some cheap beer. We remember those brave fallen heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice and gave it all for the freedoms that we enjoy today in this great Republic, the United States of America. The same freedoms that some choose to abuse or trample in hopes of having an oppressive regime acting as the people's government. May God bless this country, the greatest country in the world, but a cliché, a fact.

I was doubtful about the weather for this late afternoon/early evening launch and the weather cleared up enough to at least be able to see the Falcon 9 rocket go up towards the International Space Station. This is a Axiom Space Mission 2, Human Exploration Mission. The crew are three private astronauts while the commander of the flight is a professionally trained astronaut who will be in charge of the private astronauts while they stay in the ISS for eight days.

I went to the Orlando Fairgrounds to take a look at the latest and greatest guns for hunting, home defense, personal defense, and other gun show related stuff at the Florida Gun Show, here in Orlando.
