My first solo finally happened today! I have roughly 20 hours, spread out over the last ten months. I've flown two C172s, and the plane I soloed today: a PA11 Cub. I had about 7.1 hours in the Cub, half on skis and half on wheels. Then today after a few laps in the pattern, Artic had me stop...

A picture from a flight to inner Lake George yesterday...

Okay, for the record I'm not giving up my man card. Just saying that because I'm sure a few would threaten to revoke it when I say I'm not interested in football. In fact, I'd rather take my family ice fishing than watch the big game, and that's just what I did. We went down the road to Knik...

http://alaskaslist.com/1/posts/10_Transportation/59_Aircraft/326627_Need_Help_Searching_Cook_Inlet_for_Missing_Son.html The search was apparently called off a couple of days ago. The family and friends are asking for help from anyone who can fly in the area.

Meet Jonathan Wayne, born at 8:25 AM today at MATSU Regional, 8 lbs., 15 oz. and 21" long. Time to go buy another .22, and a fourwheeler, and..... :topjob:

I am not going to be running studs on my pickup anymore, because it's a 3/4 ton diesel and I've found it does just fine without them with it's excessive weight. I'm due for a new set before winter though, so I figured I'd ask ya'll what tires you've found to work well up here in the winter. I'll...

For those of you who know what dieseling an airgun means, I know it's hard on the gun, and I won't make it a habit, but I was curious, and decided to try it. So I broke out the chronograph and went to work. First - an explanation. "Dieseling" in this case means adding a fluid to the pellet...

Just thought I'd share this pic of my rimfire ammo collection. It's about 80% .22 lr, and the rest is .17 HMR. The 50 cal. ammo case is about 70% full, and weighs 20 lbs. I'm guessing I have about 2500 rounds of 22 and 400 rounds of .17 HMR. Am I hoarding? Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2

I read somewhere that Ruger is finally producing the 5.5" barreled Super Redhawk in .454 Casull again. Turns out the rumor is true. I went to work at Sportsman's in Wasilla this afternoon, and we had just got two of them in stock. I sold them both within half an hour of clocking in. I think I'm...

I'm planning to go dipnetting for hooligan for the first time this year. During one of my deployments, my wife and kids had dinner with Ramey Smyth and his family and they had Hooligan. (My sister is married to Ramey's cousin.) All of my kids loved the Hooligan, so I am planning to use it...

Howdy folks, I have been out of the bike scene for about 8 years, and I'm about to dive back in so I thought I'd get some thoughts from folks who have recent experience. I'll be buying mountain bikes for my 13 year old son and I in about a month. I like supporting local businesses, so I'm...

I just got the motor that I'll be using on my 17' Coleman scanoe today. Now if only the ice would go out in these lakes....

I've been doing a lot of reading lately about different styles of boats, and their uses. Everything I've read tells me that canoes are the most efficient design in terms of fuel economy when using a small outboard. The only drawback I see with a canoe is they have a relatively low weight...

So I've been pretty bored lately, having been unable to enjoy affordable rimfire plinking since folks are hoarding ammo. What then, does a firearms aficionado do with himself to pass the time until someone with common sense once again fills the seat in the oval office? I searched the shelves...

I'd like to get my flight physical done to get a jump on my flight training, and I'd rather not have to go all the way into Anchorage if I can help it. I did a search and found there are four doctors in Palmer who handle it - anyone have any experience with any of them and have a recommendation...

I've been thinking about trying to grow some veggies during the winter in my crawlspace. Would the fluorescent light down there be sufficient, or should I stick to the summer? What got me thinking about this is there was evidence the previous owners of my house were cultivating some .... uh...

I tried one of the super - cheap fly rods a few years ago, watched some videos on how to roll cast, then went out expecting to bring home some fish. Those of you who have "been there, done that" know exactly what I'm talking about. I had several bites, but was never able to get one to shore. I...

From Naked Island, and Perry Island. This was August last year.

I'll make it clear right off the bat that I don't think it's likely to see a complete firearms/ammunition ban in our lifetime. Hypothetically speaking though, what would you stock - pile, and how much do you think you would need? I think the current trend of hoarding is a bit ridiculous, save...

Howdy folks, I thought I'd check in here since I'm getting into aviation. I just completed 7.5 years on active duty in the army, and I'm now in school full time at UAA. I'm in the Aviation Technology program and plan to be a pilot for my next career. I don't want to work for a big airline. My...
