Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Ava - 4/7

What once was lost has now been found!  It turns out my cell phone was hiding in the bed of our truck.  I checked it the night of its disappearance when the vehicle was still prepped for fire as well as when we unpacked all of the potential hiding spots to no avail.  Needless to say I was shocked when Kelly brought it to me and told me where it was.  I’m confident a wizard put a shrinking charm on it as that’s what they love to do in their free time.

The heavens cried tears of joy (quite heavily) at the reunion of my phone and me.  We stayed at the Ava office until noon sharpening and cleaning tools, some of which appeared to be caked in cement.  It was slow going at first, but after they brought us this weird brush/drill contraption we started zipping through them.  Of course when this demi-god of a tool was introduced the rain stopped so we had to wrap up, pack out, and head to Hercules Tower.


In our haste we forgot to acquire the key to the radio room with all of the electrical sockets we needed for our power tools.  We tried to charge the tools' batteries with Cactus, our truck, but it immediately blew a fuse.  So we went up and secured the 4th flight of stairs with nuts and did what we could on the troublesome 5th by hand.  Pleasant weather today over all!  Going to go grab some curry and relax.  Later all!
