Most of this week was spent in the office, so not much news of interest. I had been scheduled to fly Monday to Wednesday but unscheduled maintenance as a result of an engine problem meant the aircraft was in the hangar rather than out flying.
What I hope will be the last of the crates I need to build has been assembled, and all four have had the base and sides varnished. Just the tops to do, probably next week, then metal corners and some wooden ‘skids’ on the base, and the job is done.
I hope that we don’t then decide to take vast amounts home that won’t fit into what I’ve built! I don’t think that is too likely.
Dave & Jane are coming to stay for 2½ weeks in October, which we’re very much looking forward to. I’ll be covering for another pilot in Telefomin during that time, so their visit will be set out there rather than in Mount Hagen.
The club up the road has been very noisy again the last few nights, so it’s back to using ear plugs. After going all night there is still music playing there now, at just after 2 p.m. If it’s the same clientele, then I have to admire their stamina, but I think that a group of drunks rolled past our compound somewhere around 7 this morning.
Have a good week.
