The leaves in Eastern PA were at their peak just when I needed to get some more footage for our EAA Chapter's Poker Run. It was some of the best foliage we've had in years, and I'm so glad I got to take it all in. Did you see the people waving on top of the ridge?
Thanks to Gene once again for giving a ride in his homebuilt Rans S-7!

Welcome to first episode of Grease Monkey Gab, random thoughts of an aircraft mechanic from his commute. ( still battling tech issues, third time's the charm) Today I'm talking about overcoming limitations we sometimes impose on ourselves. For me, that was an unwillingness to take on a long commute while being frustrated with not making progress towards my aviation goals. I finally had to suck it up and go to where opportunity was to finally start my aircraft mechanic journey.

Sine we have to have them, one of my favorite places to have a layover is the Ted Stevens International Airport in Anchorage Alaska. If you love Boeing 747's and other jumbo jets, this is the best place I've been to yet to see them doing what they do.
