I'm Still Kicking

I've been quiet, but I'm still here. I think the last thing I wrote was about the Makuma radio e-mail server connecting. Well, it's been connecting, but mail has not been transferring properly. That's been a big disappointment. I think the problem is probably a bad modem or power supply out in Makuma. More casualties from the lightning strike. There were two planes that were in Makuma today, but no way to get any replacement items to them. The first plane was full, and the second plane didn't know they were going to Makuma when they left Shell. I'll try again tomorrow. Fortunately Makuma is a location we fly to a lot. With three missionary families there, that's one reason. The other reason is that we have a huge tank of av gas there so that when planes are out for a long day, they don't have to return all the way to Shell to re-fuel. The tank is actually the wing tank from a C-130 that was involved in an accident in Makuma years ago.
