For me, it has just been socializing and reconnecting with people. Some of it involves airplanes but most of it doesn't. I spent 6 years in relative isolation on the project, saying no way too often to way too many invites, etc. I think most people probably took it the wrong way. Reconnecting again is a lot tougher than I expected!

Paul, if you need a change of pace after you get moved in over the hill, stuff that bike in one of your (two seat) RVs and c'mon over to Davis, a "bicycle friendly community". And laugh when you see the inside of my hangar, also known as "Lars' Home For Orphan Bikes". Another one of my weaknesses. When I get a hard time about that (often) I remind my tormenters that the Wright Brothers started their careers as bicycle mechanics. It sure is flat here, but it sure is a nice place to ride.

2 kids!
Try having two kids after building. You will be wondering how the heck you ever had time to build a plane.
I guess we were really bored after building

The bandsaw now cuts parts for four Adirondack chairs and a table.
The scuba gear is getting dusted off and the -10 is being prepped for my IFR re-training/refresher.
My three beehives need attention and medicating for the Winter season.
My wife has kinda been neglected during our incredibly busy ag season and I need to fly her/us down to Beaufort, S.C. to our creek based getaway home for a spell  and drown some bait
Last week, our Methodist Pastor was out of town, so I was asked to lead the service as well.
Best,

The RV isn't totally done yet, about another month before first flight. But, my Son asked me to help with the completion of this little project:
About a half year to go on this one, Dark blue with the white stripes

Bought some land in Atlin, BC and planning a cabin build for next summer. Hope to be available on the RV hotel list by 2014.
Thinking about another airplane - maybe a Highlander or Cub on floats.

My wife and I designed and built our new house... just the two of us. Contractors were used for pouring the concrete slab and blowing in the insulation. We did the rest. 3 years of evenings and weekends, we moved in 2 years ago, and we're STILL not done
Not much progress on my Bearhawk, either ....
