Story time.

I had Harrison Ford as a hangar tenant for 9 months. Basically my buddy built him an airplane (an AirCam, they’re massive) and they needed a hangar big enough to store it while they flew off the first 40 hours. I had the space and I said yes. Mr. Ford paid well and was incredibly nice.

Unfortunately I’m a massive Star Wars nerd. Borderline obsessive? Maybe.

But I can’t make a tenant uncomfortable right? So before Mr. Ford moved his airplane in I hid ALL of my Star Wars memorabilia. Like I’m that lunatic that bought the 4ft Darth Vader Target was selling. I moved Vader to the shelf over my bed (not a smart choice, absolutely terrifying to wake up next to in the middle of the night). Everything was hidden, totally normal people here, no rabid nerds in sight sir.

It went great for like three months? Harrison was there a couple days a week, my buddy slowly finished up the airplane, and they worked on flying off the experimental time (any new built experimental airplane needs 40 hours of flight time over unpopulated areas to finish the certification process).

Then one fateful afternoon Mr. Ford needed wifi.

They were having a vibration issue with the vertical stabilizer and were in the process of attaching GoPros to the airplane to troubleshoot it.

Picture this. Harrison Ford is standing in the middle of my hangar, staring at his phone, with a bewildered expression on his face. This poor man looks me dead in the eye and says…

“Who in the hell has the wifi name Mos Eisley Spaceport?”

That would be the wifi you’re looking for Mr. Ford.

In my haste to hide my obsession I forgot what the wifi was named. Cue a very awkward 30 seconds of eye contact before he just turns and walks away.

Long story short, they got the cameras hooked up, the vibration issue was addressed, and to this day I wonder if he thinks I was mocking him.

….I never did change the wifi name.

Since people seemed to enjoy this I’ll add another.

This next embarrassment took place after the wifi incident. My dog Beacon was a puppy, somewhere around 12 weeks old. Mr. Ford loved him, and Beacon loved Mr. Ford.

The wifi name was never mentioned again and I made sure the rest of the Star Wars nerd shit stayed hidden. Can be judged for what people can’t see right?

Something you should know about me is I have zero impulse control. When I see something that appeals to me I buy it, anything for that 5 minute dopamine hit. This includes toys for my puppy. Specifically Star Wars themed toys.

Picture this, Harrison Ford walks into my hangar, beelines for the puppy kennel, and is greeted by my Australian shepherd with a Jabba the Hut chew toy.

Beacon of course is ecstatic to see him and promptly hands him Jabba to play with.

Harrison looks me dead in the eyes, picks up my puppy (still holding Jabba), and walks away.

…sorry Mr. Ford.

In honor of Harrison Ford’s birthday here’s another little story.

This happened like 6 or 7 months into him renting space? The airplane was finished and they only had a couple more flying hours left before he took it south.

He and his chief pilot would fly in randomly. He was a tenant, so it’s not like he was required to alert me before he came into the hangar.

I happened to see him land, I was at the other end of the airport when he touched down in his Husky (backcountry style airplane) and taxied towards my hangar. No issues, I’ll mosey back to the hangar after a bit I think.

…and then I look down.

Harrison Ford’s face is plastered across the front of my shirt. It’s not subtle at all, just a giant photo of the original group and STAR WARS printed across my chest. Awkward.

I’ve never run so fast in my life, sprinted back to the hangar to change. Somehow I made it, and I was only slightly panting when he walked in.

Good morning Mr. Ford, no rabid nerds here sir.

Ok last one I promise, and this one isn’t funny. It’s awesome.

While Harrison was having his AirCam finished I was in the process of building my Pitts S1S (small aerobatic biplane). He and his chief pilot had seen my (now ex) boyfriend working on it in the hangar while they were there.

The Pitts was finished and flew for the first time. I was flying it quite a bit to get comfortable in the airplane.

Harrison’s chief pilot approached my ex and congratulated him on flying the plane. My ex responded that it was his girlfriend’s plane, and she had been the one flying it.

Fast forward a couple days later, I’m puttering around the hangar when Harrison and his chief pilot show up to continue fine tuning his airplane.

Harrison Ford Han Solo walks up to me and shakes my hand.

“Congratulations on flying that airplane Jess, that’s one hell of an accomplishment.”

Thank you Mr. Ford, you’ve made this little nerd’s day Mr. Ford.

For reference, the gorgeous, perfect airplane in the foreground is my Pitts and the awkward grasshopper looking thing in the taxiway is the AirCam. If you look closely you can see a very annoyed Harrison Ford messing with the carburetor.

Spent the day wandering around Tatooine (aka Death Valley) finding Star Wars filming locations.

Throwback to that time I hiked out in Death Valley to find all the filming locations for Tatooine.

I don't know if there's anything I love more than making glup shitto earrings. Maybe making Andor earrings? But truly the glup shittos are where my weird little gremlin heart lives. So I thought I'd just drop a bunch of glup shittos in a post. Who's your glup shitto, y'all? Anyone you'd like to see earrings of that I haven't made yet? Shop is here.
