We're sick on the 4th!

So it's the 4th of July. The weather has cooled, YAY. For a few days we hope. Thunderstorms and hail last night, overcast, breezy and comfortable today. It would have been a great day to work outside except Stacy and I are both sick with head colds. We barely made through yesterday at work and so today has been a sleeping and TV day.
Yes, I was finally hired on at the Probation Department. So for the next few years I'll be working again. 8 to 5 Monday to Friday. More money for social security when we'll need it.
Its the fourth, but the town isn't having any fireworks this year as the Chinese earthquakes a few months ago destroyed this towns, along with others I'm sure, 4th of July celebrations.
Last post I'd talked about my radio from my motorcycle. Well, turns out is was fried. The computer is so bad it can't be replaced. It was sent back so I can get any reusable parts and then its junk. Stacy had found the model I have on e-bay and for 3 days I thought I'd have a replacement. Since no one had upped the bid, I wasn't worried when Stacy needed me to go with her on an errand. Get back a few minutes after it closed and someone else got for $2.50 over our bid.
So we'll check a while longer, but I'm thinking now that I'll have to spend the the bucks to replace it.
Everything else is going well as far as we know. Sandy, Laura and Sean were fine the last time we'd talked. Sandy had been lusting after the new 'cheaper' version of the I-phone. That was until last week when AT&T announced the rate plans and 'catches' involved in getting the new phone next week. So now she's looking at another brand.
Brother Mike should be all moved into their new home and working at his new job by now.
I guess that will do it for now. We're watching Rain Man so , back to that for now. Till next time, Tad.

Hey Big Brother..
I am working at the new job at Boeing now and really enjoying it! Were all settled into the new home and loving it as well. Don't have that Ocean View anymore, but were adapting well...ha.. We went back to the island over the weekend for a BBQ. It was nice to cruise over Deception Pass again. Would love to have you guys stay with us for sometime, were close to Seattle now and can go spend the day in the City...

Take care Big Brother..

It looks like our first non-white Christmas since moving to North Idaho.

As I had said the last post, while winter is here now, it just isn't here ! Two hours north, in the Cranbrook, Canada region, cold and snow. About two-hours east, in the Kalispell, Montana area, winter is there too with cold and snow! This area, more like late fall continued with overcast and cloudy with temps in the low 30s at night and high 30s in the daytime. Maybe some rain in the next day or so or a trace of snow overnight to melt away with the "high" temps for what used to be normal for this time of the year. Last week if the temps had not gone into the 40s with heavy rain by Saturday we would have some snow but the temps and the rain washed it all away. I checked with my records from last year and on December 23rd we had gotten 4-inches of snow. Not much but still a white Christmas. Christmas Day we had heavy snow showers but not much new accumulation. This morning the low was 33 degrees with a high expected to be 36 degrees. Sad face! I like the winters her...

So, Winter Decided It Wasn't Done Quite Yet Around Here!

After last weeks post of me talking about the somewhat short winter so far, it got cold! I mean really cold over the weekend, like two mornings with the lows of +8 (-13C) and +9 (-12C) and 'highs' around 25 (-3C). No one I had talked with thought it would be that THAT cold again this season! Then last night, 02/13/18, there had been a "Winter Storm Watch" issued for the time period of 10 PM Tuesday to 12 noon Wednesday for "up to" 11 inches of snow. Luckily, we didn't get anything near that with about 4 inches overnight and the snow stopped around 10 am and warmed into the mid-30s during the day so what had fallen had begun to melt, clearing off the roads and walkways but staying on the grass. However, for its last blast, we still could get a few more inches of accumulation between now and next Sunday the 18th. Then, the long-term forecast has the daytime temps going back into the mid to upper 30s again in about a week. We'll see! On Monday t...

First posting

Ah the choices of setting this up! It will take a little time to 'fine tune' the page, but its a start. Okay so what have we been doing? Well, two weeks ago now Stacy and I went to visit with Mike and Brenda to see their new home as well as visit with my Father and Mother who were visiting. We had to work around Stacy's days off so it was a three day visit with one day there and two travel days. All the storms flooding and disaster in the Seattle area happened right after we'd left. It was a great visit and we really like the new home. I haven't been able to see any of them since last year so I really liked the visit and getting together again. We got the grand area tour which was nice since I'd never spent any time in that part of the state before. The area is very picturesque. Mike's home is very near the flight paths of the area navy base and that brought back memories of our home in California. The first few years we lived there George A.F.B. was still ...
