BUSH DIARY MAY 1997

BUSH DIARY MAY 1997:

5-1:  Have the recently purchased Dell computer set up and running.  Have signed up with Barrow Cable TV for online service.  That gives us access to the internet.  I was given a disc with Juno  on it and we are signed up for that. It works like this.  You compose a message off line and then go on to Juno to transmit the email via modem screew, scrawww, booooo, beeee, scrawww.  Eee.  

Playing with the scanner not happy with results so far.   Am collecting sibling and family emails as they occur to the connected members. 

Tim called, his Horizon flight got cancelled so he stayed in Seattle  and will not get into Boise to get the car and will just rent  local.  Good plan.

Monica is gone the next three weeks; to Albuquerque for IHS stuff, Anchorage for orientation to ANMC and JACHO stuff.  I get to acting behotch what's in charge.

Wash token update:  It is official the cost per token will go up one dollar to three dollars each which is one load of wash.  The tokens are different shaped now. l The round ones have been changed to star shaped one.  Which will probably jam in the slide thing easier.  Oh yay.  We exchanged our bunch of old tokens and got 30 bucks for them.  

5-15:  A total of seven whales were taken this Spring.  Muktuk everywhere.  And it is evident from the clinic that everyone has eaten plenty of muktuk, the smell of whale farts is most abundant.  Somebody open a window!

5-17:  While Tim is gone I shall take the opportunity to clean out some empty cardboard boxes, still have the original eight that I originally shipped up here.  Why, dunno, but they are going to the dumpster.  Sold the old computer to Monica's daughter, Tasha.

I have been playing a CD-ROM disc of the game "Myst".  It has very graphic and pretty scenery.  You wander all over an island and solve puzzles, at which I am abysmal, but it is very pretty.

I got lonesome and booked a flight to Seattle. Tim met me and we visited with Carla.  We ate at Cucina! Cuchina! good food, very noisy. We drove to Albany and Carolyn and her husband drove us to look at some property they own in Coquille.  The house was jam packed with a couple families, packed to the ceiling in the center hallway and the sunroom and there was a narrow hallway through the living room and dining room.  Upstairs, had all three bedrooms busy with people and their computers.  Attic has a couple mattresses for the kids to sleep on.  Very crowded house. 

We picked up Bradford from the Vet on Tuesday and drove north, stayed overnight at Carla's and flew to Barrow next day.  Bradfords T4 dropped from 29 to 12, normal is 8 or so. Will do follow up test in a couple weeks.

Chatted with Charles and Leslie looks like due date is 7-19.  Have tickets booked for an August baby viewing.

5-10 Traveling dream. well of course.

And are my arms ever tired.  G'night folks.
