The hangar was full


The hangar was full this morning. Normally there are five planes in the hangar. Yesterday the Quito plane came down, and the pilot spent the night, as there were some meetings to attend. Six planes did fit in the hangar, and they were cosy.

I washed my coffee cup outside with water from the rain barrel this morning. There are two 55 gallon drums that get filled with rain from the roof. I think the hangar must be at the end of the Shell water system, because for the past couple weeks we've had many days with little or no water pressure. It's been dry here lately, and I think the water system is running low. That might seem hard to believe for a place that receives over twenty feet of rain a year, but things do get dry here sometimes.
