Summer 2010 What I Didn't Do

Yep, the painting on the right is what I didn't get to this Summer....fly fish.

Did get to go a few adventures with our neighbors Pat and Laura.

Pam and I are working on the porch and still pouring footers and working on the foundation. Seems like that's a never ending chore.

We took an ETT class a few weeks ago. Not too many people wanted to do it so we decided may as well.

Things are slow here in the bay since so many people have left.

I'm at the library working and have lots to do so better get on with it. It's be nice to have Internet at the house and just blog as time permitted.

I'll be back when I have another painting finished.

Hot ! and Sweaty

Just an update on what's been going on so far this Summer. It's certainly been a busy one although I haven't been that busy. Seems like there's more projects to do around the house than time to do them.

The new project I'm working on is a water shed for a rain catch system. It'll also hold a deticated tank for fires. Hope I never need to use that one. Also a new project that probably won't get started till next Summer is a green house for Pam and of course the footers and new post under the house which has been ongoing for 3 yrs. I imagine that one will continue for another 3.

Pam went to Ketchikan to work and volunteer for a week helping at a dental free clinic for people in town get dental work done. Me, i stayed home to work on my projects. One of which is a painting above.

I better get home and start on those projects.

Supposr to get to 89 today, way too hot to work.....

Signed, Sealed, and Married

Josh and Erin are married. Seemed like there was something going awrey with the planning, but everything worked out.
I'll try uploading some photos or video soon.
Till then, I'm headed for bed. It's been a loooooooooooong 2 days.

Ok, got video uploaded to You Tube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy-GODccyC8

Fly the Friendly Skies.....2 hrs late

Finally in the air after a 2 hour delay. We're at 35,000 feet and I'm on the Internet. Technology is great.
A shower will feel good tonight. Not much else has happened since my last post this morning,so I'll leave you with a sketch. Hmmmm maybe not. The add image doesn't seem to be working. perhaps it's because of limitations of the server. Oh well. Hey, got it working after all.

Fly the Friendly Skies and CROWDED AIRPORTS

We're in Seatle right now waiting for our plane......just 3 hrs to wait.....hmmmmm just saw where it's going to be late. Make that 4 hrs to wait, so far.

Josh and Erin get married this Saturday, so big day for everyone. I'll be able to post photos later. Left Dude at home so hope she's not missing us too much.

Take care and enjoy the sunshine wherever you are.

Oh, posting another sketch I did. Need to make this blog a little interesting.

Whale Pass Deadliest Catch

Went crabbing with the neighbors last week. Going Halibut fishing in a few days weather permitting.

Enjoy the video

OK ok, no video yet, so enjoy our oyster feed photo.

PUTT....PUTT....PUTT

That's the sound of the diesel engine on Arctic Tern.....finally! Wasn't easy to get her running again with a 32 yr old engine that isn't made anymore. Was hoping to go sailing this Summer though. Need to paint her bottom yet.
We're in Whale Pass finally. Actually got here a little over a month ago. Had to stay in Ketchikan for a few months while Pam worked and I worked on Arctic Tern.
Was going to have a photo or two up, but forgot the camera. Next time hopefully.
Getting ready for Josh and Erin's wedding this July. Should be a fun time. Speaking of fun, sounds like Tristan and Adam are having a great time traveling around the states. Well, one state so far.
I have library duty this evening so better get back to it.
Everyone have a good Summer.
