Dianne’s flight which was due again yesterday was canceled due to accrue problem. So she’s coming back today. She’s been In Portland with Gabe meeting our new grand puppy nova… She’s been gone three weeks which believe it or not as long as we’ve been apart since I was on the colony . I told Gabe today that I wish for him that he is excited to see his partner of 39 years when she comes back home as I am today.

It was good day… Got a lot of work done… And then after work I took a run down to see the airplane it was being repaired and Pratts field… The plane was an old Antonoff That was built in 1969. They had some engine troubles so my friend ‘Kyle had to put it down in the Pratts field… He landed it very gracefully. It’s now being serviced there and will eventually takeoff. I ran down to see if the Folks working on the plane needed any food or water… They were fine. It was very cool seeing the plane… It had been doing commercial flights in Lithuania which is where nearly all of my ancestors are from

I decided to run back on the railway tracks because it was no fun riding on route two. That means going under the Pratts culvert… And climbing back up on the tracks and running back over a bridge or two… It was a hot Misty evening and raining .… Very atmospheric

Bands playing out in around 9 PM and I was so happy to see her… I wisked her home OK for some tomato sandwiches and blueberry crisp right out of the garden…

It’s so nice to have her home!

Nite all, nite sam
