Peter's Week

A quick update with some pics.  The week was good as far as work goes.  Getting ready for a board meeting so going through a lot of hoops to make sure we look good. I'm finding I enjoy doing the user interface design quite a bit more than the other stuff and there's quite a bit to be done so looking forward to that over the next couple of months.  In the lingo of the industry, it's called UXP (user experience).  

Friday was a work from Idahome day so scampered down to the airport early in the morning to find the battery on the plane too low to start.  That set me back about 25 minutes but was soon in the air and heading northward.  Attached are a couple of pics...one as I came past Timp and the sun was just coming up...and the other descending down low enough to buzz the house.  Airspeed only indicated about 170 but the GPS showed over 200 mph! Note the Bear River off to the left which is about Cleveland just before it goes into the Narrows. Don had left my airport car at the airport and I was plugged in and working by 10 a.m.  A good productive day there.

Good to see Dad and Mom every couple of weeks.  We went for a drive just as the sun was setting  (that magic time of day) and all of the hues of gold and browns with a few aspen yellows and the green of the pines.  We drove up around the Christensen place (Tippets) and then over to Niter past Hubbards and then Mathews. Then down to see the latest at Nathan Stuart's (foundations for 4 cabins and a new machine shed), then home at dark.  

Saturday lawn mowing and a few things around the house (see the shots of Mom and Dad's new garage door and Joe and DOG) and then back to Soda where Don, Abby and Macie came to help make sure the plane started.  Back to Utah home with plenty of daylight and a picture perfect landing.  Fun to fly but the main radio went out which I'm dreading paying for.  I also got a quote for new carpet which is quite expensive.  I've about decided that for the last 10 years of my working life, I can either pay off the Utah house....or continue to fly--about the same price.  If this were a real blog, you could all write your opinions on what to do and we could discuss.  Needless to say, if you're like Grant and getting the Personal Management merit badge (which I teach), the advice would be pay off the house!

Stopped by the Hunter's tonight for a good visit and to drop off the box that came from the attic and enjoyed looking through a little photo album of Amy's, then watching Virginia dance on video....fun! Attached is a photo of Grandpa and Grandma Clegg that I hadn't seen before.  Enjoy! 

Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Kayla who turned 18 today! She can now buy dry ice! 

Love,

Peter
