Not the entire flight to Detroit Metro but the departure from KLAS and the landing at DTW. Flying is so much fun once you make it to your seat! I was in seat 33F going both ways, next time I’m going to get a first-class seat if available. easy on, easy off. A high of just 54 degrees and full sunshine are on for today, and there was a freeze warning for last night. Believe it or not, this isn’t nearly as cold as Michigan was the last few days with a low of 27F at night.

Blasting Out Of Detroit
Roll, 45 degrees Port Yaw. That is, of course, a total guess about what is going on here but it was great! This 2-minute video is the full-thrust takeoff from DTW today. Note how the iPhone begins to shake since it is touching the plastic window of the aircraft. It’s so amazing how many humans can be canned inside an aluminum tube that goes 475 miles per hour! 😂
Michigan Dirt Roads
Our dirt roads are like any other dirt roads haha! Dirty is the word, I’ve never understood why people choose to live far down a dirt road. The video of the lovely blue sky and the weather was taken while heading north to Frankenmuth, Michigan riding in a 1968 Cadillac which was so fun. Lots of legroom and a 400+ cubic V8 engine under the hood.
Departing Las Vegas, Landing in Detroit
As usual, I captured the takeoff and landing of my flight. The dark departure video is two minutes long, and the landing video is one minute long.
Walking The Wood
Just a quick iPhone video and photo this morning, it was raining lightly but enough to slowly soak your coat, so cold! Sunny and 91 degrees are on tap for Las Vegas today, a very different forecast than the forecast for my Michigan hometown!
There’s A Birdhouse Under That Mess!
These vines have been left to grow since Mother passed and now the birdhouse has been surrounded. Poor birds! If you enjoy a good window seat takeoff video, please watch this video, it will take you from full thrust to blue sky! How is your Hump Day going?
500 Miles Per Hour
At 500 miles per hour, it’s a 3.5 hour journey home to Michigan. Flying is awesome.
1956: Extremely Prophetic!
I found this video deep in my archives, it’s of course not my video but it’s so prophetic! And sad. 2 minutes.
The Decemberists
Just a quick video taken while on the way home this afternoon under a beautiful blue sky.
Paver Lake
Just two short clips from the other day when the valley was getting flooded, including the Strip…
Garage Flooding
Well, my private lake rose high enough last night to send the water into the garage which forced me to move things so that I could squeegee the water out the main garage door. Crazy! This hasn’t happened in four years here. There’s still a chance of rain today too with just 79 degrees for the high. Nice!
Married Birds
I stood in the doorway and watched these to love birds (I think they are Mourning Doves) for about five minutes. I’ve never seen any bird stay on the bath for so long, they are so cute, aren’t they!
Six Years Ago
Here is an old photo and a silly video from 2017 when I was in Michigan (obviously) for our Family Christmas. It’s tough to believe that my mother has been gone for 11 years.
A Double Gullywasher
Finally! Two very heavy soakers moved over my area of the valley, one yesterday afternoon and the other overnight. It’s long overdue and it’s much cooler this morning. The valley will hit 95 degrees this afternoon though… Note that the mountains aren’t visible. How is your weather today?
A Sunset and A Bare Bum
My sister sent me this five-second video of the Tour de France and a very excited patron. Come on, dude, nobody wants to see that! I have done nothing today but be a couch potato and it feels good. 😂ðŸ¤
