I had moose for the first time last night. Moose don’t live in Oklahoma. But pilots (and would-be pilots, like my husband) do. One of the flight instructors Berck’s flown with offered him a moose roast, so Berck offered to invite him over for pizza if he brought it. That was last Friday. This Thursday, Berck invited D and his girlfriend over to eat the roast. But Berck discovered after chopping up all the vegetables to go in with it that the vacuum-packed chunk of thawed meat was actually ground moose. So we had a beef roast instead. A sorry…
Mom deposited a check to pay for our hotel bill in Richmond. We got quite a chuckle out of her e-mail notifying me. I have no idea where the second to address came from. And Ben didn’t answer, so I left him a message. — Original Message — Subject: money Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2004 13:42:14 -0500 X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.613) readthiscarefully……i,spilled,water,on,the,keyboard,and,it,will,not,l et,me,spacebar,or,return,etc,…..so,i,have,to,write,like,this…i,depos ited,350,dollars,into,your,compass,bank,account,on,thursday….it,should ,be,ready,for,withdrawel,by,tuesday,i,imagine…i,am,mailing,you,some,cl ippings,,,,when,it,rains,it,pours,it,seems,when,something,comes,along,th at,i,think,you,would,like….also,i,opened,joanne,lawrence,s,gift,and,to ld,you,about,it,on,the,card,that,is,in,your,envelope,with,all,the,clippi ngs….it,is,a,stovetop,wok…..looks,very,nice…..ben,said,you,called, last,night….he,seemed,pleased…..i,hope,you,had,a,good,conversation.. …this,is,too,wierd……let,me,know,if,you,get,this….i,hope,the,keyb oard,dries,out,ok….love,mom

Apparently, a pipe blew in the wall when our neighbor turned off the water he’d been using to wash his truck. The carpet beneath the bookshelves is soaked. Berck said that the maintenance guy spread magic cinnamon enzymes on the carpet and sucked up most…
My brother-in-law Nathan has a new site up at PicsTheyMissed.com. Right now it’s just some photos taken by our Air Force friend Max, but Nate hopes to expand into a receptacle for pictures from anyone who wants to share their photos from being deployed overseas.
I scored a 93% on the private written test today. So that’s one more thing done, and another million left to do. I’m slowly working on journaling recent flying activities. But I must sleep now. I’m getting closer. Maybe I’ll be done in a couple of weeks if the weather doesn’t turn back to crap. I’ve got another 10 or so lessons… I’m already at ~40 hours of flight time.
