June 26

Since my last post was some more old Animal Control memories, I forgot to mention some other noteworthy info.

Brother Mike has settled into his new home near Seattle. He sent most people a very comprehensive photo tour of the house, looks pretty nice!
Monday the 15th was "Ride to Work Day" a day to show your support and enthusiasm for motorcycles by riding to work. Well' I'd fully planned to ride that day, I was looking forward to it actually since I had to go to Sandpoint for an all day class. Unfortunately that morning it decided to literally P O U R! It rained very hard all the way to Sandpoint then went to off and on rain the rest of the day.
Oh, the class? It was to learn to fill out a new state form to try to get everyone "on the same page" for records that follow 'clients' as they move about the different counties in the state.

Today Stacy is down in Coeur D' Alene for meetings with the department supervisor. It's a very windy summer day, highs in the mid 70's, but no rain predicted for the near future. On days like today Stacy may or may not get back before closing so I rode the Motorcycle so if she doesn't I don't have to wait. I recently got a 'half cover' from E-bay for the Gold Wing so instead of parking in the Sun all day or having to bring the full cover from home, I could park under the shade of the trees near the courthouse and not worry about tree or bird droppings on it. This time of year many of the area trees leave a mist of oily residue on anything near them. Its a pain to wash off too. Not as bad as tree sap, but its a mess none the less.
Sandy is now in India as I'd mentioned her trip last post.

Laura is still sore but already back at work from her auto vs her work truck accident last weekend. Like I'd mentioned last post, she did get rattled by the accident but she said that the air bag deployment is what caused most of her injury and pain. In e-mailed photos her Dodge truck didn't look damaged much at all. The guys car looked totaled but he's supposed to have continued on with the wet roads there and plowed into other things from bouncing off Laura's work truck after he ran the stoplight.

Relatively short post this time as I can't think of much else to say!
Type later, Tad

Just as with the last post I wrote, Stacy is again down in Boise for meetings. This time two days of different types that she was wrangled into going for when the supervisor didn't want to go. These are some high end "department head" meetings and state wide commissioners from the state are there too. Stacy does feel a little out of place but she should do well in any event. It was winter again over the weekend, we woke up on Saturday to a light snow. It wasn't sticking then and it snowed all day without any staying on the ground. Overnight into Sunday it got cold enough and started to stay. Got almost two inches and it snowed all day yesterday too. Actually it was nice. Stacy had to drive over to Spokane (2- 1/2 hours away) for her flight to Boise and when she called she said it was slow going much of the way towards Coeur d' Alene then the snow became rain from before that area on. It is usually colder here than Sandpoint (because of the large lake there), and S...

Just an update

It is getting more like fall to winter now in our area. All the weather forecasts give the possible snow levels and altitudes in the recordings. The temps have been in the low 50's for the past week which is the normal temp range. It has warmed up at night to the low thirties from the low twenties of last week and earlier this week. Next week it's forecasting only low to mid forties! For the high temps! In looking at photos and the older blogs, last October 27th, 2009, was the first snow of the season back then. Will it snow around the same time this year? Stacy and I are both off work next week because our daughter Laura and her son, the only grand kid so far, will be flying out this Sunday for a weeks visit. Stacy and I are really looking forward to the visit. Last time Laura was here was in the summer of 2006 for a couple of weeks. Quite a lot has changed in her little family since then! And Tyler is 4 years old now so he might do more than sleep or cry as he did last visit!...

Its Fall again!

Although the date this says 'posted' is from a while back, I'm online to type about theses photos and get this posted for you to see today, October 12th! I'd uploaded these and the next post couple of photos fully intending to get right back to it in a day or so, it just didn't happen like that. Stacy's father took a trip to California to visit family out there and since he was gone (he's getting back tomorrow night) we've been very busy working at home as well as stuff going on at work. So it's been busy, busy, busy! Stacy left this morning to fly to Boise for meetings (again!) and will be back late tomorrow too. On to these photos; top one is actually on our property, just out back in the forest. The fern was just going yellow to gold then, on this fall morning, it is really golden and rust browns now just a couple of weeks later. Middle photo is a road a little over a mile away in the early evening that I liked with the late day sun on the Aspen ...
