Sorry it has been so long since my last blog post things are going fast! I am just about to finish my 3rd week of school and that feels great! Some interesting things have been going on in the village. We had our first cross country meet for the district and it was held in Kiana. That whole Saturday was volunteer work because we don't have enough volunteers so the teachers are expected to help. I started at 7 am picking teams up at the landingstrip and bringing them to the school. That went until 1 when the last team arrived. It was an early morning after a hard week but at least I was able to enjoy a nice early morning sun and great weather.
As the races began it was my job to patrol the two upper stretches of the 5k route for bears and moose with my loaded .44 mag.!!! That's right I was required to carry a loaded firearm at a school event, I love this place! Apparently this is very common out in bush Alaska. It was a great race with the Kiana Lynx coming in first place in elementary girls and high school boys divisions! Then we had to feed all the teams dinner before we took them back to the landingstrip where the last flight left at 830. Whew what a long day!
Woods class has been really fun lately. We have been finishing a basket sled, learning sled knots that we made tying jigs for, and are working on a shop stool project. I made one stool that they could model after and it turned out pretty good..... close enough for government work.
after reading this post myself it doesn't sound like a lot is going on in my life but between school, open gym (which I have been playing basketball 5 nights a week) and trying to get some hunting in I am very very busy! As always thanks for reading. My next will be a bit more exciting think! We shall see.
