About Mr. Denny Crane

On the latest news front, we got a kitten and named it 'Denny Crane' (if you watch "The Practice" you'll know who he is; a kooky lawyer acted by WilliamShatner) I have to bathe Him (the cat, not Mr. Shatner) every few nights as he's a really messy little kitten(a gutter cat quite literally) but he does use the sand box I made for him. (which is a little better than the newspaper) Now, when I pick him up and walk into the bathroom, he starts screeching and mewing like he's on fire. I guess he's not too fond of the water. I just gotta tackle the fleas and messiness of the critter so he has no choice!
Well, tonight I have just finished applying inches of polysporin to my catbites and scratches.
How was I know it would FREAK because I thought using a blow-dryer would be a great idea.
I was thinking, ahh a nice fluffy kitten.
He was thinking kill or be killed!
I always was a dog person.
Long live Denny Crane!

At 3:30 this a.m. Gerry had to call a taxi for a young man who was fearing for his life from another man. Apparently they were at a local hotel together and things went sour from there. Who knows, one can read alot into a situation like that. It's just that the amount of times we have had our sleep interrupted by some sort of crime or prevention is no longer countable.

Tonight, the Holland gang and friends show up for an overnight stay with us. There are 7 of them in total. We had such a wonderful visit last time and really look forward to seeing them again. Alec and Elias have (of their own accord) started to call them their 'sisters' ! After they leave tomorrow, we will be catching up with them in a month or so to wait out the impending torture.... I mean birth, of our child.

Gerry hasn't been enjoying the work side of things these days. Dealing with the Civil aviation authority here is truely a superhuman feat. These people in CAAFI don't need to make sense, they just throw out ideas that Gerry, as Chief Pilot has to make stick. Post this one on your bulletin board. Gerry flies an Otter and a Beaver on floats. They had to do a training coarse on emergency procedures with the CAAFI guy. CAAFI guy says, 'quick, what do you do when your first officer, or Captain dies mid-flight?' (Uh, dude, this is a one pilot aircraft) and then ' How do you handle the situation when you lose one of your engines during flight?' (uh, dude, this is a one engine aircraft) and the number one winner..... ' what sort of evacuation procedures should you adhere to when forced to land on water?' (DUDE, these are float planes....) Gerry had to memo and post all relevant answers and now they have porocedures for all these 'out of ordinary' circumstances.

Well, free time is over, both boys awake. Made strawberry yogurt and they are dying for a bowl.

the knee is still in pain fyi.

online..

Well, the computer died a death of a thousand binary codes.
He/She ?? had a memory wipe and is now back with a new attitude, fresh with vim and vigor.
I think our Dell warranty has also been wiped clean.
Life in the tropics! Even though Dell maintains that they have a "Tech" on the island (like, there's over 300 of them! (islands, not techies)) we have yet to find him and get anything useful done.

Will update more when my knee isn't aching so much. Cement walls and my c of g is out. (big belly and cloudy contacts) (c of g ?? centre of gravity for non aviation folks)

With a loud crack my knee cap will never be the same, the wall is much the same as it was. except for perhaps the smear of blood.
youch.
