The French research vessel The Pourquoi Pas, carrying search submarines such as the manned submarine Nautileat pictured here, is heading from the Azores and will be in the search zone for the missing Air France plane by June 12. Frances transportation minister Dominique Bussereau said Friday that French forces have found no signs of the Airbus A330 airplane that vanished over the Atlantic and urged extreme prudence about suspected debris taken from the ocean.
Yesterday was a beautiful day but I was still kind of bummed out. I started the day with a mess on the kitchen counter ... our coffee pot has sprung a leak! Weve only had it for a couple years but I dont guess they last much longer than that anymore.
I thought I had fixed the coolant leak on the scooter but found another puddle under it yesterday. I dont understand how it can be fine one day and not the next.
Then I tried to mow the grass and the engine started losing power. After a while it started quitting on me. It will start up but doesnt want to keep running. Im hoping for an easy fix like a clogged fuel or air filter. It is always something.

I almost forgot. Tracey tells me I need to write more about Aaron & Ben so the family in Watson can keep up with them better. Theres not a lot to say because they stay up all night playing on their computers and then sleep all day. I did put them to work for a little while yesterday. We had a branch fall off one our big pine trees last fall during a wind storm. I had used the Blazer to haul it to the edge of our property and I made the boys push it and roll it the rest of the way into the tall grass along the south end of our property. We call that off the edge of the world. I also had them pick up some other limbs and sticks. It didnt take a half hour but you would think I had made them work all day.
