The View from the Outhouse

Hello everyone, from Silty Slough.

I made it back to the Slough last Friday after about a month of flying, just in time for the start of “Digging through 6 inches of Carharts for 2 inches of pecker season”.

The river is freezing up but still has some open water. A few snowmachiners have gone by. I think I will wait a while longer until it freezes a bit more. We need some snow to cushion the ride. There was about 4” of snow when I pulled the groomer on the trail through the slough a couple days ago. I groomed a few rocks and decided to wait. Kari and Thor have the trails around the property packed and groomed like freeways. I can still drive the Kubota anywhere. This time last year when I got home from flying I think the snow was about knee deep or more. Temps have been good in the 0 to 20 range.

Since I was flying on November 5th I didn’t get to see the election results. Did Trump win? Been pretty quiet on FB, so I suspect he did. I’m so happy that Brandon and the 81 million that supposedly voted for him paid off my student loan for my lesbian literature degree just before the election. I sent the extra money I had left over to the Trump campaign.

…. Back to the slough. When I came out in the helicopter I only took one picture because I was busy taking everything in. This time the pilot landed right up by the cabin, talking about door to door service. Sam and the Pollux guys had the R66 filled to the brim with me, a trash pump, hoses, a turkey, and the rest of the groceries for Thanksgiving, along with repair parts to fix a few things at the cabin. The two Costco pumpkin pies and five dozen eggs made it all intact. Except for one piece of pie that came up missing. That could have happened in the truck on the way from Anchorage. Too bad I’m too old or I might try this helicopter flying stuff. I should be careful, the last time I said too bad I’m too old I ended up flying a business jet. Maybe I’ll ask Santa for a drone for Christmas and start another adventure.

It’s sunny 12 degrees and the wind is blowing about 5, so I guess I should get my Carharts on and find something that needs to be done outside. I don’t have to look far, just open the door and look in any direction.

From Silty Slough we wish everyone a happy and blessed Thanksgiving!!

Thank you Lord for everything you have blessed us with.

I’ll be in touch.

Blue Skies!!!

PS. Does anyone know of a position for someone with a PHD in lesbian literature? Just in case the judges block the new administration from kicking all the illegals off Social Security, before it goes bankrupt.
