Funny you mention a tiny little shack. That is exactly what sits at the very back of the property, lol. Looks pretty old! I'm sure it can be worked on, maybe an addition...an outhouse. Polar Bear shower...hahaha. Now, THAT's livin off the grid!

I don't think I understood your question that first time you asked me. This blog might help you understand the landing gear.

Taildragger vs Tricycle Landing Gear: What’s the Difference?





In this case, that is not a model, it is a real airplane, that happened to be flying close to our property. I got out the camcorder, and tried to record it. I love watching crop dusters.
Okay, it's official; I'm a dope! oops...
Thanks for the sites.

Yesterday I took the Zlin Z526 out and did lots of loops and rolls. Today I took out the Waco Yellow Biplane, and did lots of loops and rolls. Both landings were perfect. The takeoffs were ok, but it's hard for me make realistic takeoffs.
So, where's the video!?

We don't record our flights very often. In fact the ones you got to see is the only one's I have to show.

Currently I'm trying to write my story about how I got so hurt by the Church that I no longer attend. I'm still on my fourth page. It is not ready to be read yet. Please don't complain about how small the text is. I just want people to see a preview of how long this story is growing to be.

I can read nary a word, even on highest magnification. o_O

Ill be honest, sometimes I want to be pampered and catered to. I don't always want to serve like Jesus taught me.
Well Wynonna, you are human, and pregnant, so one would hope that you would be somewhat pampered, lol. You do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, among other chores, and making a nice home for all concerned!

You will again serve and, my guess is that you still pray? Read scripture? Sing songs to Him?
xoxo

When things started falling apart for me spiritually, I found journaling like this to be both therapeutic and good for organizing what at the time was some pretty chaotic thoughts. I still have that journal, in a password-protected file on my laptop that even my wife can't access. Those thoughts are between me and God and are going to stay that way.

I don't know exactly what you mean unless you go into more details.



I do enjoy serving but I need to do fun things too.

Tomorrow, I may splurge on some nice headphones. Lol, I may even drink something fizzy and unhealthy.

I often envy hubby's ability to take time for himself without guilt but I should mimic that ability.

I don't understand the problem your having with yourself or God. You almost make it sound like if your not always busy serving then your not doing God's will? Doesn't the Bible say there is a time for everything?

Ecclesiastes 3

A Time for Everything

3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
3
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
4
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
5
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
6
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
7
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
8
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

9 What do workers gain from their toil? 10 I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. 12 I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. 13 That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. 14 I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.

Proverbs 9:10
10
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
It's more of a personality issue I have. I don't mean to imply that resting and fun are ungodly. I just have a hard time not feeling guilty about when I do those things.

Today I received an email from a Chat site that I asked to have my account deleted. They said they were going to do it but they wanted me to explain why I wanted to leave. I replied it is because of the people. I ran into people who were lying about stuff. Some were lying about their age, and other stuff. Also most people wouldn't even respond to my messages.

When I was trying my hardest to find someone to talk too, I clicked on this one "girl" and her profile said she was 18 years old. I really didn't want to talk to an 18 year old, but I had pretty much tried everyone else and she was one of the few that even responded. As we got to talking a bit she said something like, your too old for me. It really didn't make much difference because she said she lived in Utah and I live in Indiana. According to google that is: 1,615.5 miles away from me. So I got no plans to try and meet someone that far away. As we continued to talk, she eventually told me that her actual age was 17. I said, but your profile said 18. She replies, that is because the age doesn't go lower then that. I respond that is because your not supposed to be on this chat unless your at least 18 years old! Then I met someone that told me that there are people on that chat site that are even younger! They just lie about their age, so that they can use it. In other words you can't even trust people are using their proper age.

I have found that age groups on the internet is a big problem. I can't tell you how many times I was lonely and wanted someone to talk too, and found myself talking to someone that was younger then what I wanted. Only because all the other people wouldn't respond or talk to me. It finally got the point to where I had to actually start turning some people down. I was once on a website and someone claiming to be a young lady, who was underage, contacted me. I told them that I didn't want to talk to them due there age cause I could get into trouble. They tried arguing with me, and said that it we are just talking, so it shouldn't be a big deal. I wouldn't give in, so they left me alone! I remember saying to myself "Why Me Lord?" I don't want to get into trouble online but this is how things go for me.
I have had good fortune with this site of course, but also specific facebook groups as of late.

I found a modest Christian women's fashion group, a traditional Christian wife group, and a women's head covering group. All three, I enjoy and I can ask questions as needed.

There's also MeWe if you don't like Facebook. They have groups and chats there as well.

I'm not sure what is causing the problem, but I just tried to sign up for MeWe. I put in the information they asked for, and clicked the "sign up" button. Nothing happened. Then I tried on two other web browsers and got the same result. I wonder if it could be my clean browsing DNS, or my hosts file blocking script, or my ublock origin.
That's odd. I don't have a clue what the issue could be because I go through the app on my smartphone.

I don't even own a smartphone. I don't like them. Everyone would rather pay attention to a smartphone over talking to me.
There's another social media thing you could try called Discord. Each group is called a server. It's actually really nice once you get the hang of it.

I found that site back in 2011. It was depressing to me, so I ended up leaving it for a year. Tried some other social anxiety sites, and things didn't work out there either. I returned to that site, and rejoined it and found out that the administrator committed suicide. Someone else took it over. They eventually got some new moderators, and one of them really started causing me so much trouble that ended up leaving about 3 or 4 years ago.
That really stinks. The good part about that forum in my opinion was the way people could network and practice socializing with zoom or meet up locally with other members.

I think everyone should experience a positive community at some point in their lives where they feel supported and connected. It can take a lot of searching and time to find this. And I don't think my husband has ever really had one.
