About Me and My Blog

I am nearly 65 and nearly retired. Still don't know what I am going to be when I grow up. I have three blogs. The first as a student pilot at age 59 (erico49.blogspot.com). I had always wanted to fly, but for one reason or another I had never been able to pull it off. The second documents my experience with the Topsy Turvy updside down planter that was advertised on TV (erico492.blogspot.com). And my current project--a redwood slab (redwoodart.blogspot.com).

The Fallacy of Mental Imagery

I have always heard the visualizing yourself doing something would help with the actual doing of it. False. We worked on landings Friday--touch and go's (land and take right off again) at the Nampa airport. Prior to leaving he took me through the steps of landing and I could visualize myself doing each step. Well.. not that easy, Bucko. I was all over the sky although I did improve on each of the four we did. But Number 4 was still pitiful. Practice, Practice. I fly again next Friday and Saturday.
