Life here is full of surprises. Every once in a while, the surprise is a really nice one. And we had a wonderful surprise. Peter and Sandi have friends in Michigan who have become our friends now, too. Blair Hindt works for an airline, so he has lots of opportunities for super cheap travel. He [...]

I had one of those moments this afternoon when I asked, “What are we even doing here?!” I’m afraid our nice stretch of “easy living” came to an abrupt halt today. I drove up to the transmitter site this afternoon to investigate a problem on the AM and our part time guard met me on [...]

Slow But Busy Times

We have sure been enjoying this period of smooth sailing here at Radio HRGS. It’s been several weeks since I got everything patched up from all the lightning damage. Well, almost everything. The AM computer is still up at the transmitter site. That’s because we don’t yet have the $2,000 plus we’d need to replace [...]

We’ve had pretty smooth sailing here lately. Maybe after those two big lightning hits last fall, anything seems like smooth sailing. As a result, we’ve been able to press on with accomplishing some of our dreams here at Radio HRGS. I even managed to mow the yard, but it wasn’t quite dry enough to get [...]

I don’t think I’ll write much today. It’s our anniversary. We went to Gio’s for lunch. If you’re not familiar with them (and you probably are not, since they are local), they are arguably the most high falutin’ eatery on the island. We’ve eaten a couple times at their restaurant up in French Harbor. They [...]

Christmas came a little early for Peter and Sandi. They found their missing dog, Saydee. It is a bit of a long story and, if you remember, it was while looking for Saydee that the Silseths got their vehicle stuck for a week. So let’s just say it was quite a reunion. Of course, now [...]

Gettin’ Some Traction … Oh Yes!

When I was in college in Kentucky, we had the worst ice storm I’d ever seen just as we were returning to school from our Christmas break. One of my friends needed four hours to drive the last 15 miles. After carefully parking in his assigned spot, he closed the car door and watched in [...]

Gettin’ Some Traction … Or Not

You might be a real four wheeler if you have ever had 2 wheels off the ground and said “We’re in good shape.” You might be a real four wheeler if you have to get the wheel barrow to clean your driveway off after you wash your vehicle. You might be a really serious four wheeler [...]

Only Up to Our Hips in Alligators Now

We’ve been up to our necks in alligators for so long that it’s an incredible feeling to finally be draining the swamp a little bit. Last week we received the replacement LNB for our satellite dish. Not sure what that is? Watch the video and I’ll explain there. That was the last of our significant [...]

“Sometimes I think my life would make a great TV movie.  It even has the part where they say, “Stand by. We are experiencing temporary difficulties.”  ~Robert Brault We’ve certainly had our share of technical difficulties lately. Last week, on Friday afternoon, the FM went off the air. The link between the studios and the [...]

Hope In a Troubled Land

Going to church in a different culture is … well … different. The music is usually different. The order of worship is sometimes different, but often surprisingly similar. The “dress code” is almost certainly going to be different. The preaching is not what we are used to back home. None of those things make a [...]

Digging Out

My dad was a carpenter who had a whole trunk full of tools — a car trunk, that is, a ’55 Chevy Bel Air trunk to be more precise. One day, when I was in the fifth or sixth grade (if I remember right), we had a huge snowstorm. Our garage was in the alley [...]
