Friday was a day of "wrapping it up" for several projects. The Kodiak had 4 more stops then their "tour", introducing this airplane to the public and the mission community, would be complete. What "wrapping it up" means for Dennis is - a day of paperwork in addition to airplane repairs/inspections. After making a piece of test equipment for the Kodiak, selling scrap to pay fuel expenses for a couple of German missionaries trailering their floats (rebuilt at MMS) back to Canada where they will be used on the C-185 (also rebuilt by MMS a few years ago), it was time for Dennis to devote the rest of the day doing the final paperwork that would allow these projects to go "back into service" and leave MMS. As for me, it was my day off from working in the MMS office so I was paying our own bills, grocery shopping, then bargain hunting in nearby Amish Country. The evening "found us" in McConnelsville, enjoying a chicken casserole prepared by our daughter-in-law, a visit with the grandkids, and installing a starter in our son's truck, assisted by 7 year old granddaughter Anna who even brought her own personal toolbox to help get the job done (forgot to get a photo to share of those 3 greasy mechanics finishing their job :-). God is blessing in so many wonderful ways!
