My trip to Michigan

Here, finally, is a new post on my blog. Click the slideshow below to link to pictures and video from my trip to Michigan this summer.

Included are pictures from the shores of Lake Huron near Port Huron, MI. Also, you'll see some biking, a Tool concert, sailing, lots of fun with my family.

There are also pictures from Detroit Tiger stadium versus Boston Red Sox at the end of the set so don't miss them.

Enjoy the summer while it lasts!

Photos & Videos from my Cessna flight over Southwest Florida

SW Florida flight 2005.12

(click the slideshow below to link to the gallery)

Thanks to Captain Brann for his steady flying, Dad and I had a wonderful time flying high above Southwest Florida on a beautiful, sunny and clear December day last Christmas season.

The flight started at the Naples Airport. We took off heading north for Venice Airport. After a nice lunch, the plane flew for a touch, taxi and go at Fort Myers Airport, then South toward Marco Island. Just East of the island, we did a non-stop touch and go at the Marco Island Executive Airport. The photos clearly show how this small airstrip is surrounded completely by water and mangroves. Pretty cool.

Heading North again, we finally landed at Naples Airport. Unlike boating, we didn't have to spray clean the plane and flush the engine of salt. Nice.

'Operation Get 'Er Done' gets done right!

Congratulations to Mike Meurer on his 2nd successful heart bypass surgery!


..and "big ups" to our homeys at 3M Corp. (http://www.3m.com/) for the solid pension and coverage of Dad's $175,000 surgery and rehab treatment.

Bellagio sportsbook & Las Vegas from the Hooters Casino balcony

Here I am rooting for my bets to come in $$$





Here are a couple of good pictures from around the Strip.






Here is the view from my room's BALCONY at the Hooters Casino Hotel. If you stay in the short tower, those rooms still have real balconies...such a treat in a city where 3 inch hotel suite window openings are the only choice in Strip hotels built after the Mirage.
