- After a very hectic week the boys are on their way back. They've been helping to sort out component obsolescence issues, and also a bit of wild animal training when taking our cat, Crapouiette, to the vet this morning for a check-up. The vet describes her as a "naughty tourtie" - a tortoiseshell. I do hope the scratches heal quickly (sorry boys).
Week 84 Mike Fenner
- Fantastic timing. I am just starting reconstructing our garden in the old cottage we just moved to. So lots of earth moving, stone walls, new fencing raised flower beds and so on. In the evenings The Elephant and Castle Pub is
2 minutes away. The Elephant serves Hook Norton brewed just up the road in a Victorian gravity brewery (still uses the original steam engine). We can investigate all the different brews and guest lagers. We may or may not be reporting on this.
Week 85 Steve Gregory
- Tell the boys to bring some sunscreen with them, its starting to get warm! Broke 100 yesterday and today its supposed to do the same. Looks like its going to be in the 90's for the next week. Maybe we'll go and do some rafting on the Payette river close by.
Week 86 Tom Carroll, Boeing Defense, Space and Security
- The boys will be helping me with FAA Conformities in the New York city metro region. I look forward to having them help with getting inside some of the test chambers to verify part numbers and calibration of equipment being used. Hopefully, they will have some extra time and they can hop on the NYC subway "A" train and go visit times square and the observation deck of the new World Trade Center tower. Let me know when they can arrive at JFK Airport and I'll arrange transportation from there.
Week 87 ????
- assisted with ????
Everyone have a safe week.
