Hi from Stacy

As most of you are aware, I have been working both dispatch and the jail. This has really been fun and challenging! We've been having a little office turmoil too! Rule One: dispatchers shouldn't date the Deputies that other dispatcher like!!!!! We'll have to see how this turns out. Hopefully I will be able to do my normal Christmas cookie baking this next week. I was going to start it this week-end, but as Tad told you, I ended up driving a big truck to Coeur d' Alene to pick up 40 bikes and helmets for the needy kids in the County. It was a great day. Met a few of the County Sheriff's, and felt really needed!! One Sheriff is down two dispatchers in his office and was doing his best to recruit me. I am going to get a big cup of tea, so I'll set this on Tad's lap for a few while I'm gone..

Well, my day was a meeting this am at the bus barn for the drivers. There was a rep from the state and we all went over the things the state does and doesn't want the drivers doing. Spent most of the rest of the afternoon totally confounded by trying to set up the wired Internet connections. We're on the laptop right now because the wired part still isn't being 'seen' enough to connect. It sees the 100Mbps line but nothing else.... yet. We had to run the lines and hook up because the wireless N hasn't been reliable enough for our desktops. When on it would be great, however it would drop out or not 'see' the computers all the time. So since the router has 4 connection points, I got the wire and connectors. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get it all going. Now Stacy's back!

In case you don't know, Brenda makes the BEST spaghetti and salad in the world! Well, think I'll sit here in front of the fire drink my hot tea and watch a good movie.

Last August 3rd, the only car dealer in town, Riverside Motors had a fire destroy their offices and showroom. Above was during the fast moving 20 minute fire. Below was taken less than 15 minutes ago and shows their new showroom/offices just about ready to move into. The rubble from the burn down was gone in less than two weeks and crews worked all during the coldest part of winter building this new building. It was moved to the back of the property and cars were moved up to the front. Since the fire the 'offices' were moved out to trailers not visible in the photo but to the left of the new building. Riverside also lost the GM part of the sales and service end of it with the GM restructuring. Too bad for the owners of all the GM cars and trucks in the area, like us, we have to drive to Sandpoint to a dealer there for GM service etc. About 35 miles away now. Riverside is now just a Chrysler/Dodge dealer service location. Pretty building though! Photo below actually occurred ...

A Historic Day

Yes, one way or the other it will be a historic day today, Election Day in the USA, 2016. Either the "crooked" lifetime politician and first woman to be the president will win or the proven somewhat unstable "megalomaniac" and itching to start a war businessman will win. Personally, I voted for Clinton. A proven lifetime politician outweighs the alternative in my opinion. I heard a comment of with Clinton it will be "The Hunger Games" part one, with Trump it would be "The Hunger Games" part 2!! In our neck of the woods, early voting and absentee voting has been going on for over two months. We voted a couple of weeks ago. Above, in the lobby of the County Courthouse, four early voting stations had been set up for several weeks. 2 non the right and 2 on the left at the desk behind that sign. Below, I took a 'stealth' photo of some people voting. You never can tell in North Idaho what will set off people so I didn't want...

O.M.G.! I haven't posted since February!!!!!

I knew it has been a while, a long while. Not this long though! So, readers in the either, if there are any still around, what's been going on with our life adventure? The high points since February 2018: 1. We almost bought a new truck. 2. While we didn't finally buy a truck in late March, we traded in two-vehicles and bought a 2018 Toyota, Rav4 Hybrid, CUV ( C ompact 'sports'  U tility V ehicle). 3. We had a fantastic summer trip with the granddaughters spending 9 days in Yellowstone last July. The bunkhouse 5th wheel trailer we bought July 2017 right after our June trip in 2017, proved to be the BEST way to comfortably sleep and house the 5 of us, me, Stacy, Sandy, and the granddaughters, for a trip. 4. In August we got Stacy the one RV trailer she's been wanting for several years now, a Winnebago Micro-Minnie, a 20-foot long travel trailer that sleeps two. Stacy used it for a week-long business trip to Boise for state-level meetings just a couple of wee...
