Stayin Cool....




Picture number one is pretty self explanitory... It's what happens when Daddy is in charge of baths...
Photo number 2 is Tim Dyk, from MAF US headquarters in Nampa, Idaho, on the left and Wesley, Indonesian tech with MAF in Sentani for 25 years, on the right. They are busy installing a new radio stack in a caravan. Looks complicated to me... Note the size difference in the guys...
Yesterday we really felt like we had gone back a century in time. We had no internet, no email, very little water, and no power. Yep, and we survived it all too! The lack of water was due to a leak being repaired at one of the houses and then the power went off and the people in charge of the water reservoir forgot to put their generator on to allow the pump to fill the reservoir again. Does that make any sense? The internet and email are recurring issues. We have internet over V-Sat so sometimes it just goes down for a while... Other than that, all is well on our end of the world. How are things on yours?

Since you haven't heard from our end of the country yet, we're experiencing seasonal weather. Fall colours are not too spectacular this year due to the dry summer we had. Otherwise, we're doing well. Glad to hear that you are too.
