First Order of Business: The first rose seedling has sprouted up in my yard:
Secondly, the Falafel Stand has opened! Yay!
There was even an official-looking photographer snapping photos:
Totally worth the wait!
Thirdly, my neighbor, who is a pilot, called one afternoon and informed me that there was room for me on a routine maintenance flight, if I'd care to go in half an hour. Would I like to go? Would I like to go???
Finally, since I've accepted a local job here (and therein lies a story, but it's not this one) I've ordered firewood for next year. All birch! Yay!
Last night, this caused me some consternation:
But it is not too much for my Estwing Sure-Split Wedge!
I <3 Estwing products!

what is a maintenance flight? Is it a flight where you deliver a mechanic to a faraway place? Is it where the pilot determines what works and what doesn't work, midflight? Either way, you lucky duck - that must've been a beautiful flight! Is it a water plane so it can land/take off from your various lakes?
The falafel looks good. Have you attempted to make your own yet? I think I have spied a deep fryer once or twice in your photos, so I know at least one of your friends owns one... I have tried baking them in the oven, but they aren't delicious. Much like donuts, falafel needs that hot oil.
What is a maintenance flight? Is it a flight that needs maintenance for itself or is it a flight to help other flights, such as delivering mechanics or supplies to other flights?
Rena: Falafel is too coarse and dry without oil
Just to make sure that everything is working as it should be. :)
I've tried to make falafel "burgers" in the toaster oven. It was not tasty.
To make sure "this particular flight" that you flew on was working as it should be ?
It was like a test flight (test drive for a car) of this particular flight after its maintenance done?
Perhaps all eight find Alaska interesting, your presentation of life in Alaska interesting, and your way with words fantastic - "distracted by something shiny or a bit of string or something else" is just great!
Now for the story on the new job?
Why, thank you!
