Three photos taken earlier today of our town after almost 5 days of Spring rain showers. Top photo shows the trees in front of the court house becoming green again after Winter.

















Middle photo shows the low rainy clouds that started out the day. Photo shows the towns clock tower, tops of some old brick buildings in town and highway 95/2 going North from the drop down into old town since it sits almost right on the river.
















And lastly looking East at low clouds and rain out towards Katka Mountain, in the clouds. Although no wind at the time, it has since gotten VERY windy with showers outside with the flags all standing straight out including the giant one in the photo that is at the Library. A more winter in most areas 48 degrees outside too!


















Stacy's the "big cheese" now. Jackie was in for about an hour this morning and got the last of her things and said her good byes, for now. Officially, Stacy still isn't the boss until midnight tonight. She's in her 'new' office cleaning up and seeing how she might change and rearrange things next week.
An interesting thing will be happening tomorrow night, several of Stacy's probationers wanted to attend the High School Prom tomorrow night. The Principal only gave the OK if Stacy would be there too to keep an eye on those kids. So we're going to the Prom to be with the security. It has been a pretty good joke with several of the court employees, going to the Prom and all. But I'm certain it will be interesting to see. I never went when I was in school, way too shy back then to have a girlfriend or even consider asking anybody to it. So, we'll see what happens.

2021, the long hot summer of our discontent!

 Yes, it was one long HOT summer!  In addition to the record-breaking heat along the coastal ranges in Oregon, Washington, and into Canada, we saw temperatures in this Northern Idaho area I NEVER thought we would see again after moving away from the high desert of Southern California in 2006! The hottest temp was an afternoon high of 112 degrees (44.44 C) on June 30th. But, hot, hot days, too warm evenings, no rain so dusty and dry.  Record heat, the hottest weather ever recorded in Idaho, and, according to the stories, only the beginning of the heat that will probably be the "new normal" from this point on. Seems that the same "high-pressure bubble" that causes the cold and snow of winter weather to almost completely bypass our region of the pacific northwest in winter causes record heat in our same region of the pacific northwest in the summer! Since my last post, mainly, we have just been living and trying to avoid getting Covid. Stacy and I got our vaccinations...

I can't say I'm on a roll just yet, but here's a new post!

So, to continue with last weeks story. In August, Stacy finally got the trailer she's been wanting all along. Yes, while I like the larger, around 28 to 30 foot or so, RVs, Stacy has kept the idea that smaller is better. Smaller can go pretty much anyplace you'd want to camp and our 5th wheel, at 34-feet long, while it can go most places, it can't go 'anyplace' due to the length. When we got the 5th wheel in July 2017, I was surprised Stacy was willing and even suggested, we go for it trading in our 33-foot travel trailer to get the Jayco. Again, the "Wildcat Maxx" was a nice travel trailer. It had made several short and two long trips in the almost two years we'd owned it. We lucked out as in an era of the rapid assembly to make the crazy sales numbers the RV industry has been having, the Wildcat was "completed on a Wednesday by happy Amish at the factory" as we didn't have any of the build issues I still read about from the appar...

Spring, and warmer weather is in the air!

  I had started this post on April 15th, now it's the 23rd so this is now history! Warmer temps, for a few days anyway. After the last few weeks of more like winter than spring temps, it is pushing 70-degrees (21.1 C) today! It's been clear, not windy like the last three days, and generally nice weather. We can only hope it will continue to be good weather with it not too dry for the late summer since it has been a dry winter and spring so far. The last time it was particularly dry it was a very bad summer for Hornets. Most places in the region have many of those yellow and greenish hanging hornet traps set all over the place. We do too!  Time to get the traps out, cleaned, and set out for the season. You have to get the traps baited and up soon as with the warm weather the hibernating queens come to and start looking for places to set up new nests. That one year though, hornets were everywhere! The forest was alive with the buzzing of thousands (millions?) of hornets. Dozens ...
