Aubrey and Skyler don't usually get up at 5am. But when they do it's because we've got an early morning flight!
This last Monday, we were headed north to meet mom and Blair in Colorado. She goes up a week early to prep the house and we stay back to close down the other one.
Skyler is my most astute co-pilot. He knows the aircraft anatomy perfectly and always checks my fuel for condensation and asks me about weight and fuel.
Aubrey is my most trusting passenger, as seen by the gleam in her eyes as she watches me climb in. She is sure to tell me, "I don't think my stomach will bother me today, Papa."
Skyler rushed his sister saying, "Hurry up Aubrey, we have to fly out before it gets too hot, otherwise the plane flies like a sinking ship."
He's right. Arizona heat makes for long climb outs...and sometimes keeps us on the ground.
Doors closed, Skyler clipped his buckle and yelled, "clear prop!" Our trusty engine roared to a start and the prop started clawing away at the air. Breaks pressed, I started the run-up and taxi.
We took the active runway, checked one more time for traffic and then went full throttle. Our roll-out was longer than usual but still "on time." Gear up, flaps up, the desert floor slipped by underneath us. Then Skyler saw the oil temp gauge.
"Uhhhh Papa, the oil temp is really hot."
And sure enough, we were red-lining. Too late to abort.
Oil is quite literally the lifeblood of any piston aircraft engine. Anything that interrupts the flow of oil is almost guaranteed to cause problems.
I pushed the nose down to allow for more airflow. Skyler stayed quiet to allow me to problem solve. He was nice enough to turn around that tell his little sister, "Don't talk 'cause Papa might have to turn around. The engine oil is really hot and he doesn't know why."
In addition to watching for traffic, he knows his job as co-pilot is to watch the set of cluster gauges sitting in front of him. As a 9 yo, he's actively been doing it for 4 years. At this point he knows what's normal.
After a few seconds I told him, "since everything else is looking good, I think we have a problem with the instrument, not the engine oil!"
I pulled out a screwdriver and told him to check to make sure all the screws on the panel are tight.
He made quick work out of it and sure enough, the screws holding the gauges were loose...once tightened, everything read normal.
We were sailing off to our cruise altitude and he handed me my Yerba mate. Off the left wing we saw Sedona and the San Francisco peaks resting strong in Flagstaff.
Even in aviation there is plenty of options when things start going bad...but not when it comes to health.
If you're damaged by a vaccine or medication, rarely are you ever going to be able to reverse. It's the truest form or Roulette. And most people are relying on sociopaths, ghost writing and fraudulent FDA data when it comes to making decisions about taking both. It's ludicrous.
Go natural first! That's been our family motto for 25 years. And it's paid off...

P.S. Don't forget about your testosterone!!! My gawd! Lets go! Last week I also announced a low stock alert on Raw-T!
Raw-T uses a scientifically-designed blend of plant-based extracts that refine hormone receptor sensitivity for men and women. This forces your body to start “recognizing” and responding to its own set of hormones more effectively, primarily testosterone. Once the receptors are tuned and brought back to life, hormone balance is restored and preserved, causing youthful metabolism and energy to rebound tenfold!
With regular use, Raw-T keeps you feeling youthful and virile. It achieves this by ensuring “BOS”—which stands for optimal hormone “balance, output, and sensitivity” of your own naturally produced hormones. Best of all, you won’t suffer any deadly side effects common to Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
If you’re ready to wake the sleeping giant within and get your hormones back, start your mornings with Raw-T, an intense weightlifting workout (search for “The 18-Min Workout” app on your phone), and a protein-rich breakfast free of simple carbs, artificial flavors, and sugar. After a few weeks of dialing in this daily protocol, you can finally stop worrying about hormone wreckage and the imbalances that cause so many to suffer needlessly as they age.
