I have to admit

I'm not the storyteller my Dad was, and I'm not the writer my Mom is. So, unless something really interesting happens, this blog is moribund.

TTFN

I guess summer has come and gone

That pretty much says it all.

Rain again

We had a glorious, sunny weekend. Today it's back to light rain.

Drizzly

While the rest of the country roasts, here near Seattle it's 60s and light rain. I grew up in Phoenix, but I'm enjoying this.

Field again

I'll mostly be out in the field for the rest of the week. Even though the new phone has a flash, I still won't take shots in a sanican.

Another day, another $1.05

Yes, I'm making more money for the next few weeks. My boss is on vacation and I'm Acting Boss (cue fanfare.)  Is not a huge amount of money, but will be noticeable in my check.

New phone

I got a new phone in the last couple of days. This one has a flash, so no more problem with dark stalls.

The outside is finished

The work on the outside of the house is finished. Fresh paint, roof cleaned, patio pressure-washed, landscaping cleaned up.

I'm back

You see, there were these pirates who captured me while I was sailing the South Seas...

Too bad, but I have just been slacking. I still don't feel like I have anything to say.

Spring is

Thinking about arriving. Now that summer is almost here (tomorrow), spring finally feels like it might be here. They don't call this month Junuary around here for nothing.

I'm too old for this shit

Well, not this shit, but for spending my weekend going up and down a ladder working on the roof. I'm near crippled.

Field work

I'll be out in the field most of this week. I refuse to even try to take a shot in a Sani-can.

Memorial Day

It's the day set aside to honor those who have served. Do that.

Spring growth

The lawn is in full spring mode. You can almost hear it growing. And it pisses me off because I have to keep the damn thing mowed.

Back in the office

Amazing how much crap can pile up in a week off.

Home again

Back to the cool, rainy northwest. And it's nice.

Luau

I think the luau we went to has worked its way through. Generally, if your poop floats, there's to much fat in your diet; and there was lots of fat in that meal.  Today though, the only way that pig would have been better was if it had bacon.

Still in paradise

We went to a luau last evening. I ate good food, had nice conversation, and was stimulated by many gyrating hips.

Time zones

Here I am, thousands of miles from home, wide awake and ready to get started. Problem is, it's only 6 AM here.  By the time I get acclimated to the local time it will be time to go home. Could be worse, could be raining.

Summer breeze

Got one here!  Beach later.
