Continued bad weather here at Merrymeeting Field is preventing PPG flights. We managed to have a productive day of homeschooling today, and Trish did some more baking:
I went for a great ride on the rural roads of Maine:
As sometimes happens, the weather turned perfect just in time for Shabbos. Hopefully this good weather will hold and I can fly on Sunday:
Good Shabbos from Merrymeeting Field in Bowdoinham, Maine!
Unfortunately, the weather today was not conducive to flying, at least for someone as weather-cautious as me:
Trish did some baking and craft work:
We had a great day of homeschooling, and I caught up with my Quicken. All in all a great day!
Today we said goodbye to the Moncton Casino after replenishing our gas, propane, and DEF. We stopped at the information center in St John, New Brunswick to dump sewer and fill fresh water. We then crossed back into the US in Calais, Maine. Unlike our entry into Canada from the US, the US border agent poked around the RV for a bit before letting us proceed. On the way to Bangor we had a gas station incident when the nozzle trigger was somehow already engaged so when the latch was flipped to start the pump, the nozzle sprayed diesel everywhere for a second or so until I disengaged the nozzle trigger. Good times!
In Bangor, we were planning to pick up a couple packages at our friends’ house, but at 6:30pm UPS still hadn’t delivered, so we had dinner in a supermarket lot. By the time we were done the package had arrived:
We continued on, stopping at Walmart to buy groceries before arriving at Merrymeeting Field in Bowdoinham, Maine. We stayed here four weeks ago on our way up to Canada, so we’re thrilled to be hosted here again! The weather doesn’t look good, but hopefully I’ll be able to get in a flight or two like I did last time we were here.

Today was another homeschooling day at the Moncton Casino. Trish also worked on her rug hooking:
B did some rug hooking as well:
M taught himself to juggle a couple days ago, he’s getting really good at it:
Trish did some painting this evening:
Tomorrow we will head back to the US.
In between homeschool classes, Trish experimented with a new way to make Rosh Hashanah challah:
Trish also finished up more rug hooking projects:
Good night from the Moncton casino:
