Since last Tuesday.

Work, work, work. That was most of since last Tuesday. Yesterday (Saturday) we made a day trip of going to Costco and went to the fairly new store in Kalispell Montana. By GPS 142 miles each way, but we hadn't been out Highway 2 to that area since a trip back in 1996. We've lived here now for over two years but with the "local" Costco 'only' 94 miles away, that's the one we usually go to. But it was a really nice day to start. Got a little toasty on the way back, of course not in the air-conditioned truck. Just skirted some late afternoon Thundershowers East of Libby Montana, and took advantage of Montana's no sales tax. The store was a real nice one of the newer designs, like the one we'd sometimes go to back in Loma Linda California. Big exception, even on a Saturday afternoon, NO CROWDS!!!
The road itself was loaded with motorcycles out on day runs or overnighters. It seems that most all the bikes seen yesterday were Harleys. Saw a few Gold Wings and even one of those new Victory Vision Touring models, but most everybody this way seems to think that the only way to ride is Harley Davidson. Well, I'll just keep riding my Gold Wing thank you! Just hope Sierra Electronics can get my radio back soon! I'm missing my XM on our rides! And being a totally integrated unit, I have no CB radio capabilities to talk to Stacy either as even the CB goes through my am/fm radio unit!
Since it seems like it shouldn't be raining much or at all the next week or so, I took a chance and washed all the vehicles and the motorcycles too.
On tap this week, well, I'll see if I get full time on this job or I'll be bus driving again next school year!
That's it for this update! Maybe I will be able to get a rhythm going on these updates after all!

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...

What's been going on since July 24th, the last posting

Stacy to California , On Saturday the 26th Stacy left to drive to Northern California to help out and be with daughter Sandy as the birthday approached for the new grand daughter to be born. As Sandy was going to have a C-section birth, so the actual date was pretty well planned, Sandy had called and was concerned that there was a possibility that new baby would be a bit earlier than anticipated. So with that call Stacy left two days earlier than planned to be there that much sooner and before the doctor's visit to find out one way or the other on the due date. So Stacy made the around 1,000 mile trip in two long days and was there by Sunday night. By the doctor check up on Tuesday morning, the concerns were lessened and the timetable was back on track for the birth on the first of August. Stacy had a great time with almost 2 year old grand daughter Justine, giving mom Sandy a much needed break before starting it all up again with the new baby. Friday August 1st, originally had...

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 ...
