Larry Reynolds has refurbished the 1984 Westwind II jet he bought from the state of Alaska. Reynolds, who plans on chartering the jet to big-game hunters flying around the world, has replaced one of the engines, brakes, upgraded the electrical system and added full Internet and printing capabilities.

>>Edited to add that the video is of when the state of Alaska owned the jet.

GOOD SOAP

If you don't make your own soap buy it from Me and Nellie Soap Company Handmade Herbal Soaps.

This is good soap.

Doesn't leave a ring around the tub.

Smells great.

And the box they are packaged in is timeless.

Spring is Here

A mosquito was spotted today.

Put your snow on the Road

This guy has the right idea. Scoop up all the snow out of your yard with a BobCat and put your accumulated snowfall on the road.

I call it Snow Manicuring.

Snowbank Smilie

A Valdez operator with a sense of humor imprinted a smilie face on one of the numerous snow piles in Valdez.

Happy 16th Birthday Dale!!

My little buddy, whom I've known since before he was born, turned BIG 16 today. I got him what he wanted, since you only turn 16 once, and that was this NorthFace snowmachine backpack. Last year I got him that fold up shovel sticking out of it.

Dale's birthday kicks off my favorite time of year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DALE!!!

Yellow Cab

Valdez is blessed with only one cab company which is called Valdez Yellow Cab. None of the cabs are yellow any more. In the winter they drive a big 4wd crew cab. Color unknown.

Sitting in the Sun

Glad to report warm and sunny SPRING like days in Valdez. This was the view from the high school pool parking lot this evening.
