James had come to the realization that avgas was $3/gallon cheaper there than anywhere else between Grayling and Fairbanks, and that it would only add 20 minutes to a straight-home flight. […]

The yield of James’ long work days: the basement walls have a “bandaid” applied that will keep the cold and moisture out, the chimney for the woodstove in the basement has been repaired, […]
It was the last few moments of Bible School.
