Awake: 6:35am Temp 62 sleep 6+49 sunny overnight @ Nicktown, PA.
After our KK meeting, I had the opportunity to go airborne... such a deal! I couldn't resist.
The steeple of St. Nicholas Church is being resurfaced with long lasting slate & some areas covered with copper; the boys working on this project agreed to allow me to go airborne in order to take aerial photos. I wanted to capture a 360 degree view of the village of Nicktown.
They harnessed me up & clicked me into the spacious bucket for two & within a minute, we were as high as the steeple...about (110) ft.
Kathy looks pretty small from the steeple height.
The wind was calm & the nearby visibility was ok, but unfortunately the distant horizon was a little hazy. Here is a photo of State Road-553 going east thru town heading toward Cambria County.
There are so many trees in the village that taking a birds eye view is most challenging. Here is a view of going west on State Road-553 heading to Alverda.
From the church, this is State Road-271 going south towards Duman's dam.
Here is a closeup of the copper work these guys are doing.
And a sample of the slate work on the steeple.
When descending to earth, Father Job announced to the small crowd: it costs $10.00 to go up......and $100.00 to come down! That brought a good laugh to all.
I thanked the guys who have been doing the slate & copper work & returned to our motorhome.
Meanwhile, Annette called from Al's Tire Service; "the Toyota mini van is fixed up" she told me. "Did you do the inspection I asked her?" "Just a minute" she said. "Someone forgot to do that but we'll take care of it & call you when it's finished."
Kathy did (1) load of laundry this afternoon.
Dinner: Pistachio crusted salmon with rice, asparagus & cherries.
Later we talked with Melissa about their Toyota van & the inspection process.
Lights out: 12:01am.
