A little catching up.

Well I'll start with a couple of pictures. Above is the amount of snow that was still around when Sean and brandy got here. They couldn't believe it. Still winter then!
Although a bit hard to see, Sean is standing in the driveway just taking in a heavy snow shower. That's the way it was that week.


It's a slower day today. It shouldn't be, but I'm sick today. Yesterday morning woke up with a sore throat. Last night got the headache and congestion going. This morning a REALLY sore throat and that all over feeling of jerkiness and over all lousy feelings. Probably a fever in it all but I can't find the thermometer.
So a little computer time then a TV or movie day. I've got hours of recorded programs on the DVR's to watch and haven't had the time. So I guess today's a good day for some catching up. I always think, maybe one day of relaxation then I can get back to it. It is after all spring and EVERYTHING is growing like crazy. I'm to mow and weed this weekend, and that's just to start!


I'd read the comment from Mike on an older post and I guess some clarification is in order. Do I dislike busing that much? No, I really am not crazy about the early hours, I think Mike wouldn't mind them as he's still an early riser. I did my early days for a lot of years. As jobs go in this area it pays really well. Most local jobs are at or just over minimum wage, so the pay is okay. Summers off is good too. So if working at Stacy's department doesn't pan out, then I'll be drivin' again in September. Most of the drivers work two or three jobs to make ends meet. But they've been living in the area a lot longer than we have, so they still have all the bills and such we left behind when we moved from California.

I've been sending out e-mails about our new mailing address. We were annexed into the city from the county for Post Office route realignment. It's been a bit of a pain as we were originally told there would be no rush to get it all switched over as it would take at least 4 to 6 months to even start it. Then in early April we got notice that we were supposed to have started changing everything over last December when we got the new address! Real big problem there has been, new street name and new address. So none of the magazines, or any companies "postal programs" had the street or address in their systems. So most all had to be Customer Serviced and direct entered to finally be accepted. Oh well, seems to be going smoothly now, except I'd forgotten to let all the family and friends know about the change! So I'm attempting to fix that.

Guess this will do it for now. Starting to feel worse so time to go get caught up on some magazines and read for a bit.
Type later, Tad

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 ...

I Must Agree, 2020 Is The Year That Isn't.

 I know there are many, many people feeling along those lines.  Luckily, our area has yet to experience a large spike. Even in this rural area, the virus has made it here too. As mentioned before, most of the state cases are in the heavily populated south end of the state but there is still a count of over 38,000 positive and 451-deaths in the state.  As of this post, there has been one confirmed death of a 70-year old male, and there are currently 56-cases in this county. The most recent cases are high school sports students as schools opened on September 8th and at the last minute decided to go back to all 'in-person' classes even with all the preparations of having 'hybrid' classes of 2-days a week at school, 2-days a week online, and rotating to keep the student count down to the advised numbers to limit exposure. Our area schools are all on a 4-day week and have been for many years.  However, with those kids, are also over 65 other students who were identified w...

Four photos from the California trip

Heading South on I-15 in Utah. I'd kind of missed these 100 mile views as I saw them again while driving through this and our old high desert areas of California. It was still cool here but I got to our old area as I went through San Bernardino at the height of a heatwave with temps in the 90's! All the traffic and congestion of being back in that area for the first time in over 3 years made me glad it was just a visit! I only wished I hadn't been on such a tight time schedule and had a day free to visit with people I hadn't seen in person in almost 5 years! I was so surprised to see Primm (or Stateline Nevada) so deserted! This photo of Whiskey Pete's all but empty, it used to never be this empty, any day of the week! The Hotel is closed except for weekends anymore, only open for gambling and the McDonald's inside was the only 'restaurant' open! I'd gone there first to get a room on the way down to San Diego. I Guess most people just drive the 40 ...
