about our life

evening on the deck
Our life ranges from the surface of the earth to about 40,000 feet at times.  Typically we live at 6,500 feet above sea level and work at 4,100 feet above sea level at Holloman Air Force base.

We love our home and the "fighter pilot" birds that joint us for dinner whenever we eat out on the deck.
"Fighter pilots" as we call them, the humming birds
Donna cuts a piece of the bike rack that will go on the ceiling.
Notice the safety gear...or lack thereof!
Donna was rather shocked to look up from her keyboard and find this creature!!
Yikes!
Date night :)
Dressed up and ready to go country dancing!
The "lawn"
Zzzzz
Great chef!
A little role reversal:  Donna "mowing" the lawn while Sandi cooks a great dinner...
Nothing like a little life on the edge - biking on a stormy day in a tunnel that is every bit as tall as it looks in the picture.


(Below) The garage - and our little bike collection.
7 bikes - one for every occasion!
Who doesn't need a climbing wall in their garage?!
When your well runs dry, you get creative.  We installed another gutter to augment our water supply (duct tape required).  But I didn't tell Sandi about the spider just inside the eave (on the support beam, nearly as wide as his arm).
Sandi warmed up before this exercise.
I didn't tell him about the spider stalking him until later...
camouflage!
Of course there is more friendly wildlife around - this caterpillar is as big around as my thumb!
Big grin
peek-a-boo
No fighter pilot website would be complete without some pictures of the figher pilot(s)!

(Above right) the aircraft maintenance forms with my name in them.
Kohouts (minus Ginni) before Sandi arrived
Douglasses (post Sandi's arrival)
Home
Kohouts and Douglasses and stealth fighers.  The jet in the bottom picture has my name on the canopy if you look real close.
