Hello, it is hard to believe I have been gone a month already. On 8 August Brenda and I headed towards Anchorage. So much has been going on, school keeps me very busy, there is always something that needs done. The staff that I work with are great people. We all get along and have fun when we have a few free moments. The village has been very receptive to our arrival, they brought a caribou over to Scott's house last Saturday night, they gutted it. We spent Saturday night skinning, cutting and vacuum sealing then freezing the various pieces. We did cook the brisket on Sunday, slow cooked in the oven for almost 7 hours, it was very good. We have been experiencing quite a wind storm for the last two days. The wind has been blowing steady at 30+ mph with gusts around 45 mph. When the temperature is only 45 degrees, the wind gets a bit chilly. Not as cold as what is coming, but it has a little bite to it.

Brenda has been mailing me stuff, especially food items that I can stock up on for the winter. I am slowly getting a stockpile of goodies, along with some online shopping for this and that stuff. I have spent my down time watching movies and reading, as well as taking walks along the ocean, as long as the weather cooperates. Well that is it for now, nothing too exciting. More later.
