Alaskan's Journal

[Alaskan]

Well... there goes my diet!

Kid 3 is home... and cooks food that I LOVE!!!!

He made mashed potatoes and steak tonight....

And the portions are HUGE! of course the kid is 18, and working outside all day... so his portions are understandably big. Also... we are several family members short! So... not the normal number of eaters.

He has also been making coffee for me every morning....

Nice to have him home!!!!

 

[Alaskan]

Ack! He had to trailer the bobcat over to someone to do work for them....

First morning since he has come home, that no coffee was waiting for me!

Poor kid... he was up just past midnight last night.... he had to weld reinforcements on the ramps to the trailer... the bobcat bent the ramps when he drove it onto the trailer...

This is the first time we have taken it anywhere since we bought it...

At least he's able and responsible enough to do those things!!

"Someone" raised him right! Good job.

 

[Alaskan]

How many days of warmth did I get? Was it three????

Well... rain came back...

There was sky this morning, but by noon a cloud came down and sat on us.

And... a moose with some funky mismatched antlers growing in, walked past my livingroom windows.

 

[Alaskan]

A better view of the antlers

 

[Mini Horses]

He's looking right IN that window!! . Smiling, too.

That's a nice "good morning!" (but a little too close for comfort for me)

 

[Bruce]

Have you named him "Stubby"?

I finally got a better report fr9m fishing kid....

Turns out in peak season they had breakfast (cold cereal, they had that shelf stable irradiated milk), then lunch (if they had time) and supper was peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Once fishing slowed down a bit, then they had "real food". 2 soups, chicken noodle or vegetable beef. Then chili, canned fruit, and for "fancy" meals hamburger helper with canned meat. He said a few times they got fresh meat from the Tender.

And it WAS a good clean boat... no booze and no drugs...

Good that the boat was clean!
