Airplane in hibernation

Piper Cub sheltered from the snow — Airplane in hibernation

Winter slows down many functions. It is not just the animals that go into hibernation.

Red Stewart Airfield, Waynesville, Ohio, is one of the finest grass strip, grass roots airports you will find. Driving past many municipal airports will find little activity, but not at Stewart Airfield. There are always cars present and planes active.

But, things do slow down in winter, and grass strips in particular. Plowing the snow off can damage the runway. So, many planes sit until the snow melts. It’s a little like motorcycling.

Have you restored your Farmall tractor?

Roaming around the countryside and visiting a farm or two can reveal a lot of potential for fine art images. Old tractors are great. Old tractors that look new again are fascinating.

While on the Barn Quilt Tour, I spotted this pristine Farmall tractor.

Yes. It runs. And, it proves there is more out there on the farm than John Deere.

1st Ride of 2011

Although it rained over night on New Year’s Eve, the weather forecast for the first day of 2011 was promising for the afternoon. And, the forecast was accurate enough to roll the motorcycle out and take a ride on the first day of the year.

See you on the highway.
