A New Old Honda
Here’s Kev’s new ride, a cherry 1982 Honda VF45 Sabre. It will make his commute more fun and cheaper.
New Toy for the Lake
After looking all over the country, literally, we found just the right boat at Elmendorf AFB on Craig’s List. It’s a 2007 Bayliner 185 in great condition and able to pull lots of kids on tubes. Now we just need to support our gasoline habit.
Sunny Day at the Beach
It’s not exactly San Diego but it was warm and sunny and we Jen, John and I were joined by Angie, Tristan and Landon for a hike to the beach at Kincaid. Ginger and Charlie had a great romp, too.
Old Friends Visit
Last week Dave, a member of the Soo Hill Gang in Moose Lake, and his son Theo spent the night with us. He and Kevin had a great time telling old stories. Dave lives in Michigan now and was on his way to Fairbanks for his niece’s wedding.
Arctic Thunder at Elmendorf AFB
The last Saturday in June we spent the day at Arctic Thunder, the air show at Elmendorf Air Force Base. It was a fantastic time! Lots of aerial displays by military and civilian aircraft. Plenty of static displays to walk through.
The most impressive demonstration was the F-22. It was amazing to see the things that aircraft can do. The F-22 show concluded with a tribute to veterans in a fly-by with a P-51 Mustang, the WWII fighter plane. It was a very emotional moment.
