ASTE

I am on my flight to Anchorage right now. In fact I think we just started our decent. 🙂 I am heading into town to attend the ASTE conference. Ginger and I are teaching the “Video in the Classroom, School, and Beyond” class today in about 9 hours. The We have worked on putting the class together for a little over a week now, and I think we are ready to roll. The website is in its final stages and is now officially posted at the Brevig Website.I really need to work on updating this more often. I know a lot has happened in the last 9 days, but I just can’t remember any of it. Went out and checked the crab pot aging a couple days ago. Once again, just the little ones, and about four of them. We pulled the pot for good in that spot. So we don’t have any down right now. We are hoping to try out some new locations when I return from this trip.That reminds me, last week; Jim and I attempted to go to Teller to pick something up for the school. The weather was pretty bad out, and visibility was extremely poor. I had the GPS with, which without it, we would not have made it home. We took off for Teller, only able to see about 50 feet. Everything was white out. We are driving over the frozen ocean, which is white, and the blowing snow and clouds that surrounded us were also white. I was using the GPS heading for Teller that was built into the GPS. It wasn’t a waypoint that I had marked, so I was a little worried. There is a place by Teller where the ice is really thin. I didn’t want the GPS to take us right through that area. So I wasn’t too confident with the heading the GPS was taking us. After about 45 minutes of driving, in who knows what direction, I told Jim that it would probably be a better idea to head home. So we did just that. On the way home I hit a pressure ridge at about 25 miles an hour. I didn’t even see it coming it blended in so well. I had to have the GPS out the whole time, so I could find my way back to Brevig. I am planning a trip to Teller in the near future to set some reliable waypoints.
