Don't Fence me in.




































Hi Everyone, TGIF

Of course when your retired(somewhat) every day is Friday. Started working

on my fences this week. One to keep people from parking on the septic field

and the other for the driveway. Also had my son and grandson over. I always

have projects for him this time we assembled and painted a decoy duck to put

on the lake. As we put it into the lake the glued head fell off, luckily it floated.

Glad to say all is OK as this time I screwed it on. Also found time to go hiking with my wife Diane and the dogs.

Well enjoy the pics and stay thirsty my friends.

On the Road again









































































Hi Everyone,

Happy February. Jan. was a busy month with some traveling and having friends
visit. Diane is now on a two and two week schedule between NY and here. While she is here we are busy. Went over to Moses Lake around 250 miles from here to meet our friends Bob and Carla halfway from Montana where they live.

While driving there we passed thru Roslyn the town where they filmed Northern

Exposure (TV series). You'll see some pics of the town if you remember the series. We then met Bob and Carla and continued our adventures. We went up to the Grand Coulee Dam and Dry Falls. After three days of fun, winery trips, and happy hours we returned to Port Angeles. Thenwe were visited by our friend Rachel from So. Cal. We did our tourist thing and shared some wonderful meals and conversation. Well enough chatter here are some pics.
Stay Thristy my friends
