Wind, Rain, and Painting

Last Summer was busy for us.....water shed for water tanks, rebuilding porch, beams and footers under the house (still), and having adventures with our neighbors Pat and Laura

On the right is one of 3 paintings I've been working on this past week. Just need to finish a few items and then it'll be done. ( Finished painting the one on the right, but don't have a photo of it yet) I have several ideas for more paintings and hope to start on them within the next few days.

Looks like we'll be headed South soon. Probably just before Thanksgiving. Visit the kids first up North, then come back and catch ferry South.

Dude is doing good and she'll be with us this trip. Now is when we would like a 5th wheel, but we'll see how this goes.

Suppose to blow 80 tomorrow. Blowing a little today and the past week. Storm warnings past few days and now bigger winds. Had one blow that was over 100 a few yrs ago on Hollloween. That's when I stayed up all night thinking a tree was going to come down thru the house. Guess trees did come down on a few houses and several micro burst brought a lot more trees down close to other houses.

Hope everyone is doing good and I'll try writting more on this blog.

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

I'll try uploading some photos or video soon.
Till then, I'm headed for bed. It's been a loooooooooooong 2 days.

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.
