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

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...
