Suess's Alaskan Adventure

Reprieve

Well, the snow melted. Rather luckily I guess as it has been known to come very early in September and stay until May. A week of temperatures reaching into the 50's banished it though. Even at our high elevation. SHE never did manage to put the winter tires on the car in her last Auto maintenance class...you have to be on the ball here to get it done. SHE tried to bring it to a place close to her work, but calling at 8:00 found them refusing to take any more for the day as they already had 15 dropped off! Her best bet is to get an early start on Monday, dropping it off around 7:30 might mean it gets fit in. Monday will be a long day as SHE and HE have their hunter safety class...6-10 gasp! Two days in a row... (they won't let us hunt chickens, but apparently they can go get other stuff) They've been doing homework today, mixed in with raking, wood splitting and HE spent time getting nice and dirty up in the attic. SHE's not sure about this hunter safety thing...all she wanted was a bit of advice on outdoor safety, maybe using a gun etc. But it seems pretty into learning the difference between types of bullets and guns (yawn). Maybe SHE won't turn into the mighty hunter HE was hoping for:-)

  • Hunter Safety class? What is Alaska doing to you guys??? ;-) Just kidding. Glad to hear you got a break from the snow so you can put on the snow tires!

  • Nothing wrong with a little hunter safety, especially considering where you're living! When the bears decide the chickens should be *their* dinner, you might want to deter them. ;)
