  1. Actually, it is a Dauphin (French). It has a distinctive high pitched hum from the tail rotor because it is encased in the tail. A lot of municipalities use them for life-flights and police copters as well.

     

    It is a variant of the French-built Dauphin.

    The SA 366 G1 Dauphin version was selected by the USCG in the early 1980s as its new short range recovery air-sea rescue helicopter and given the designation HH-65A Dolphin. In order to comply with U.S. regulations, engineering changes were required. So it isn't actually a Dauphin, it really is a Dolphin.

  2. so need some dunkin donuts coffee shipped up? what flavor?

     

    None, neither of us drinks coffee, but thanks for the offer :)

     

    What's that red thing in the middle of the picture? Helicopter? I can't tell.

     

    yep - a dolphin (they are cg orange)

    Had one flying around the neighborhood quite a bit yesterday (test flights after repair)

     

    Oh, have you met anyone from the Unification Church yet?

     

    How would I tell? Is it that obvious?

  3. Well, I just found the missing closet doors. I killed a sponge cleaning one. And I only took one down. One more is in 2 pieces STUCK to the insulation. Another looks like it could be in ok condition once cleaned. The last one... I couldn't tell - seems like a small part is stuck to the insulation, but I think it is laying on top of the other half of the stuck door, so it may be ok too.

     

    I really only wanted one for the front entry closet (others are from the bedrooms) right now, so I'll clean it again, get some kilz and then paint it and hang it. Maybe I'll even fix the dent :lol

     

    From the rest of the house, I'm not surprised at the condition of the closet door, but really, how the heck do people manage to do this crap??

     

     

    Guess I don't need to hitch a ride to Anchorage to go to Home Depot just yet now :lol

  4. Starting with some new pics :)

     

    Took these this morning after I dropped Jeff off at the boat. Then I had to go home and clear off the memory card as it was full.

    I took these at the same spot as above about 2 hours later.

  5. The other half of our garage is in our crawl space and still a compound miter saw in the living room that needs to move too :lol

    The snow blower is now out of the down stairs bathroom (good conversation piece)

    Doors are hung

    Now just for the last of the cleaning and the correct touchup paint to be brought in for the the last bit of touchups.

  6. Place isn't done.

    She didn't get it done by the date she said it would be done by and then our stuff showed up. She hasn't been back yet, but is scheduled to be here tomorrow. I don't think she has plans to finish other than hang the doors we've not hung yet.

    But before I finish her job, we'll see what she actually does tomorrow.

     

    If she doesn't finish, then I have to go buy paint, and I won't do that until Jeff leaves.

     

  7. This place is just full of surprises - always something new.

     

    Earlier this week, I was the reason for somebody wanting to kill themselves. Well, both Jeff and I as the mean, nasty, whiny, bitchy NYers, but since I was the one on the phone, it was my fault. Welcome to Kodiak, I'm going to kill myself because of you.

     

    Yesterday, we went to the bank to get cash from the ATM. Ummm.... the bank doesn't have an ATM :lol Guess we won't be opening an act with them as I might actually like my money at times they are not open.

     

     

    There is a rocket launch today at the other end of the island. I might head that direction to check it out since it is kind of cloudy/overcast, so not likely I'll be able to see it from the house.

     

    I know you prob. won't get back here to Boston what with the taxes through the roof

     

    Taxes were much worse in NY.

  8. Try again in 5 minutes - we'll stand out side and say "hi" :lol

     

     

    Walmart - I went in for a thermometer for the fish tank (I dropped the one for the tank last night and it broke) and clear thread. I left with clear thread. About par for the Walmart course.

     

    It is small and you have a limited selection - but at least there is a Walmart here... one of the other Alaska CG stations does not have that luxury.
