The Kodiak Experience

This afternoon I had the opportunity to ride in a Kodiak, the new state-of-the-art turbine-driven plane. Spokane Turbine Center was demonstrating the plane for pilots in the missionary aviation program at SDCC. The 25-minute ride out to the ocean and back was an incredible experience.

Glue Failure

I haven't been hiking in quite a few years, although owning a sturdy pair of boots. When I decided to go camping last week, I happily packed my boots, looking forward to traversing a few trails in the Sierras. Alas, the journey was cut short because of wornout glue. My cousins sacrificed a drawstring and shoelaces, but the boots still wouldn't hold together, and I ended up walking back to the car in my socks.
