Yesterday afternoon little miss aviation took off for an overnight trip to her other grandparents cabin outside Pauls Island. The break will do her good; she is getting grumpy waiting for her man to finish his flying stint at school.

The day was nice weather wise, nice being not too hot and not too dry.
In the morning I had two technical glitches to deal with, one was replace a receiver that picks up CBC north from Iqaluit and feeds it to Goose Bay and the coast. The other was the 100 watt Tx that handles the local CKOK signal; it is having problems so I switched to the back up 50 watt job. It is also having issues like most things 60 + years old [tell me about it] but is OK for now, but not for too long one would speculate.

In the afternoon we took a stroll, we were heading up the hill past the hydro plant when some people coming down the hill said, “there is a black bear down near the brook”.

We continued on along with another woman and her two kids. No sign of the bear when we arrived at the bottom of the hill and crossed the brook, so I let Siutik free to run. A little later several groups of people came down the hill, including the ones who warned us of the bear, so I figured the bear must have high tailed it for now.
There is also a bear hanging in the woods behind our house, usually only comes down in the evenings, a neighbor is keeping tabs on that one.
