A day of Flying

For the last couple of weekdays, Ben has been flying missionaries and supplies into tribal locations. Sunday morning, we got a text asking if we could make an emergency medical flight on Monday. So, today Ben is up in the air.Here's Ben landing...and taking off

Boiled critter

Fulfilling a need to have tuna and noodles, which the rest of the family despises (and I use that term accurately), I put a pot of water on to boil. Once it was boiling, I added a bag of noodles to the pot. That's where all normalcy disappeared, for I saw this thing float to the top:

Okay, maybe that is exaggerating, I admit. Just for those of weak constitution, I put that in to soften the blow. This is what REALLY floated to the top:

Gross. Really gross. AND there were no more noodles to be had. I fished him out, but it was too late for the wee li'l lad.

back to the airplane

After the engine was changed, Ben flew her around and then brought her back for a check (checking the innards, as I like to say). Unfortunately, they had a bad cylinder, which meant, the plane needed a new one. Having good cylinders is really handy in flying. Ok, it's completely necessary. As the part comes from the states, that meant a slight delay in flying. When that part arrived and got held up in a customs check, that also meant for a slight longer delay. But, alas, the part was released from customs and is on the plane. The plane is flying again. The missionaries are going into the tribe today. Oh, happy day.

Ty also got into the spirit of things. He has learned a few essentials in parking the aiprlane:
