It's Cinco de Mayo today, and that means Mexican food for dinner tonight. We will be going into Wasilla to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants - Chepo's. It's a bit of a drive with a couple of good restaurants closer to home, but this will also give me the opportunity to scout Loaders for the job of excavating the rink/court. I have done a bit of research, and it looks as if there may be some better priced options out in Wasilla.
I have picked tomorrow to be the day I excavate, since: 1) I go back to Hong Kong for eight days on Friday morning, and 2) We are going to Hong Kong as a family for a week when I get back. So if I want to get the job soon, tomorrow it will have to be. My biggest concern is that it looks as if we might get some rain tomorrow, which is too bad because the weather so far this week has been absolutely perfect. Therefore, if it is pouring rain tomorrow, the job will have to be postponed until the end of May. Not ideal. As it is, the gravel and sand deliveries will occur at that late date, giving my lawn less time to recover this summer.
Today was a lazy day. I overdid it a little bit yesterday with the raking, and therefore got a bit run down. After bringing Andrew to school, I came back to bed and slept in until almost 11:00! I spent the early part of the day studying and preparing for my trip to Hong Kong on friday. It will be a very busy week when I get there. After one day off when I get in, I will be doing my annual emergency training, two days of simulator check rides, and two separate "regional" trips out of Hong Kong. The first will be a middle-of-the-night cargo run to Shanghai and back, and the second will be a daylong excursion from Hong Kong to Singapore and then a short hop the Penang, Malaysia. After that I will hitch a ride on the same plane back to Hong Kong. The next day, I return home to Anchorage. Way busy, but that's all for this month.
