Still looking for an airplane...

We're in Fairbanks, where we followed a great deal on a Maule M-5. A friend of a friend recommended a great mechanic (don't think we don't use all those random names you give us of people you know in Alaska). The great mechanic did an inspection and we decided the great deal wasn't as great. The maintanence on the plane for the last 10 years hasn't been what you would call "Four Star", and we are as four star as two people that live in a station wagon with two dogs can get. The friend's mechanic was so great, he didn't even keep the wrench that had been left in the engine of the "great deal" aircraft. Back to Craig's List... more deals await...

The mere fact that you have blog posts titled "Still looking for an airplane..." indicate how so much cooler your life is than mine.

I've got fun things like "Why won't my child poop on the freaking potty?" and "If they don't carry it at Wal-mart, then do I really need it?"

Wow. I want an airplane.

(Hope you're having a great time! Thanks for the updates! xoxo)

The fact that you are in Alaska is so wonderful! I miss it so much.

I can't wait to have a house in Girdwood someday. Sigh... it can't come fast enough!
