Salt Lake City

 Stocked up with enough alcohol from Idaho to make it through Utah we made it to Salt Lake City, I feel like I'm almost to Oklahoma which is funny because I'm still a long ways away.  I was able to find good parking downtown I am a 5 minute walk to my whiskey bar that I want to go to and then another 2 minutes to the piano bar. I don't even need to get the bike out of the garage.

The ambulance is a cheap way to experience downtown cities. This is my third one and parking has cost me 10 to 20 a night and I can walk everywhere. Definitely cheaper than an Uber. I can't park in the covered lots I'm too tall, plus I need solar, but everywhere I've wanted to stay I have been able to find a parking.

While walking to the whiskey bar I saw a couple of homeless people get into a fight. I wonder what they were fighting about? I didn't ask! 

At the "Whiskey Street" I ordered the Short Rib Polenta Poutine.  It comes with polenta fries, braised short rib, Cabernet demi, squeaky curds, mornay, and a deep fried soft boiled egg! 


Look up deep fried soft boiled egg!


I'm doing important research and development studies for new wine cellar!


And yes another piano bar.

 My Mom and cousin Dave came to Juneau so I took a day off. We cooked breakfast in the ambulance then hiked around Auk village. Sis decided to go swimming as she normally does. She did really well not to get her ears wet. Sis swimming or wading. After hiking we went to downtown Juneau. I have driven through but not walked around. I did my normal, bar hoping. You know me, I have to try the same beer at every bar!

51,000 feet

Image
 I took 618 our lear 40 up to 51,000 feet. That is the service ceiling of the plane. It is challenging to get the plane up there. I am close to a stall and over speed at the same time. Once I get there my fuel burn is around 430lbs a side vs 600 a side in the lower 40's. Incredible fuel savings. 51000! I've only been up there 3 or 4 times! I didn't get a picture outside because it was night time. But you can see the curvature of the earth or the edge of the earth depending on what you believe in!

The New Water Well

Image
 The original water well on Twin Oaks farm was hand dug by Frank Eaton (AKA pistol Pete) and William Knipe who was one of the founders of Perkins, and a high school kid name unknown. Legend has it they left the kid down in the well while they went for lunch!  The original well is still there but is no longer operational. It always worked when I was a kid. Anyways fast forward about a hundred years and I decided if they could hand dig a well then I could too.  The drilling process. Removing dirt. A large pile of dirt! The casing down in the ground. Pouring concrete. Building the well house. The pump. I used old tin so it would match the shop. I installed a sink because the shop doesn't have water. The original well about 50 feet from the new well. It's not quite finished but I think it is going to produce about 800 gallons a day.
