April 2015


Hello,
This is Steve writing. Here are a few pictures of what we were up to in the month of April.




The family is growing, but the motorcycle has not grown. Anne took this picture as we were heading somewhere near by. We don't take Timothy on the motorcycle where there is traffic, only the dirt roads around the property.


In April we began preparing to plant a garden. We plant in the winter here. It never frosts.
This is the TV stations little tractor. It really speeds up the gardening.

Helen canned Tomatoes. For a while you could buy a box of Tomatoes for two to three dollars. Now the price of Tomatoes has risen in the market, but we hope the canned tomatoes will last till the tomatoes ripen in the garden.


The T182 returned to our runway and our hangar for maintenance. This was great because we no longer needed to travel 45 minutes to an hour to the other airport hauling tools and parts back and forth on motorcycles. Instead, this was the commute to work on the plane. This is the view of the plane in the hangar from our front porch.

This is the same view as the above picture, just zoomed out.

Here I am inspecting a tricycle gear airplane, and Timothy is inspecting a tricycle.

I did work some in the evenings when Helen, Anne, and Timothy were in town.

This is your captain speaking. In about ten years I will be able to reach the rudder pedals.

I'm the inspector in the picture, but Helen and Timothy are the inspectors of the inspector.

The T182 opened up for inspection.

The inspector being inspected.

Now he could reach the rudder pedals, on his hands and knees.

Miguel is a pilot from Chile who came to visit. He helped me very much with the inspection. Opening inspection panels ahead of me and closing them behind me, among other things. I could not have done the inspection as fast with out his help.


God bless you guys,
Steve
