After 4 years, 11 months, 13 days & 36 minutes, my basic flight training has come to an end. I flew my first lesson on Aug 22 2021. Today, Aug 4 2026, I passed my multiengine instrument rating checkride. It’s the last rating I need to be able to make a career in #aviation a reality.
Having just read a Canadian Flight Information Region wide NOTAM indicating that GPS approaches could be affected by space weather, this is neat to see.

I’m rewatching “Project Hail Mary” for the first time since I saw it in theatres. I forgot how absolutely delightful Rocky is.
It’s clear looking at NASA FIRMS that climate change isn’t coming. It’s long been here. You don’t need to be a climate scientist to know (feel) that we are reaching the tipping point. Those significantly contributing know it. We’re past due to take action, but we must immediately! We’re killing Her.

I had a moment of utter disbelief when I saw this image for the first time. I’ve never felt so cool! Anyways, the photographer is @jaketeaguephoto.bsky.social. I’m pleasantly surprised to find him on Bsky.
Jèf Uphoff@juphoff.bsky.social · 4d ago#AOPA featured this absolutely killer shot on its IG feed: @peacewind.aero firing up in an RCAF Chipmunk warbird to leave Oshkosh. On the left, you can also see the nose and spinning propeller of the Chipmunk @astrokatie.com flew in formation with her. Aviation photography at its finest. :)

We can launch rockets into space, but my shower controls in 2026 are analog & a gamble. One tiny nudge right means hypothermia. One tiny nudge left results in a sunburn. How do we not have temperature gauges or at the very least some sort of useful markings engraved into the thing?
This morning, @peacewind.aero and I were interviewed for Windsor local radio AM800 CKLW about flying the Chipmunks from the Canadian Aviation Museum to EAA Oshkosh #AirVenture2026 www.iheart.com/podcast/962-... [audio is ~ 8 minutes]

Flying into & out of #AirVenture2026 in the Canadian Aviation Museum (Windsor) Chipmunks with @astrokatie.com. I owe a huge thank you to all of the fantastic museum volunteers who supported us on the ground & in the air. You guys did awesome work. It was a wild ride! I’m still recovering… #aviation
For the first time… I think ever… I feel satisfied and do not need to been in the air on a lovely clear day. #aviation
Me (closer plane) and @peacewind.aero (lead plane) flying the DHC-1 Chipmunks back to the Canadian Aviation Museum after a wild trip to #Oshkosh #AirVenture. Thanks to Matt in the support plane for the photos!
This may be the coolest flying shot I've ever seen involving people I know! @astrokatie.com in the higher RCAF warbird and @peacewind.aero in the lower one, on their way back to Canada from Oshkosh.
@astrokatie.com & I have successfully flown both of the Canadian Aviation Museum Chipmunks into #Oshkosh! It was HOT & we had to divert around a whole bunch of Chicago weather, but it was SO much fun! If you’re here, our planes (& possibly us) will be at the IAC pavilion until Thursday. Come say hi!

Are you going to Oshkosh AirVenture 2026? I’ll be there, probably hanging around the IAC booth. Come say hello! #aviation
Pro tip of the day: Do not attempt to push/pull around a small plane in +28°C in a nomex flight suit. It may result in heat exhaustion.
So… the team I would typically cheer for (Portugal) is now eliminated, but so is my own country of Canada. I’m kind of thinking I should ask to be adopted by Vikings. Thoughts?
I have to repeat this again tomorrow with, first Portugal and then I will be screeching my head off for Belgium.
Watching a group of people struggle with the old style disposable Fujifilm camera is making me feel OLD!
Row! Actually, I think I mean whoa! Norway just took out Brazil?! Vikings man…
I haven’t paid any attention to south of the border all day. I feel like that was perhaps a mistake looking at all these skeets now.
My dad sent me a message from YYZ this morning that he was getting on a plane to Houston. He bought the ticket last night. He claims it’s for business, but magically, his hotel is near NRG stadium & he’s found a ticket to Canada vs. Morocco. He’s never been spontaneous. It makes me very happy.
I signed up for @gandersocial.ca to check out what a Canadian social media platform might look like. There’s some features there that @bsky.app should heavily consider. Mandatory ALT test on images, bias/fact check ratings on media links & posts labelled if they contain AI generated content.
Well I like the idea of this quite a bit!

The district will earn revenue for the power it shares…”
