It continues to be busy at work! Posted 5/10/10

These photos were taken over the past couple of weeks as Stacy is working on making the office, her new office, her own.

First thing to do was clean up and take out all the stuff no longer needed and left by the previous boss. It was a LOT!

The top two photos are about mid week and in the worst of it.



























This last photo shows how it got to me too! Stacy decided she wanted to use the opened metal cabinet in this photo in her office for storage. Its no problem with me, I just needed to empty it out and get it moved. I was in the process of taking all the stuff out in this photo here. Now it is all done and having the cabinet in Stacy's was a great idea as now there's actually a place to store all the office supplies instead of in each office. All offices look so much better now. Much less cluttered, much nicer looking. Last Friday (the 7th) and Saturday, we had interviews to find a person to replace Stacy in her old position. Out of seven people it's down to two possibles. Just waiting today for call backs on the background checks I've been taking care of.
Yesterday was mothers day and was a relaxing day. It has been rainy so I haven't been able to start the seasonal lawn and weed stuff yet. We're going to set up an area to have our own garden at home this year too. We were

Saturday Sandy had her 13 mile 'half marathon' in Santa Barbara. I haven't talked to her yet, Stacy did yesterday, but I know she'd sent us a text message that she'd run it in three and a half hours on Saturday.

Stacy was finally able to get in touch with Laura yesterday, they're looking for a new apartment to move to and her husband Russell was sad because his grandfather has just passed away in the past few days.

Sean talked to Stacy and he and Brandy are doing well at the moment. His job is good, all is well.

I saw on line that brother Mike had unfortunately had at least one overnighter in the hospital for what looked like irregular heart rhythm last week. He's out and doing OK. At least that what he's saying on line. Next weekend is his wife Brenda's birthday and we got invites to go out and visit for the celebration. We're still thinking about it, but just aren't sure yet. I told Stacy if we go I'd rather drive it than fly as both would be all day things anyway. Driving would be less expensive and less hassle than flying would be anyway though.

That's it for this update! Tad

Life in a Northern Town, In Winter

So, here we are, early in 2018. While our area gets cold, we don't get the  really cold, the cold of Montana and eastward. Where we are, in North Idaho, 30 miles from Canada, we are in a bowl of a valley. That's why we wind up with mostly overcast days in the winter. We are also pretty well protected from the strong blizzard kinds of winds and the weather patterns that are causing the conditions in Montana eastward, a parked high-pressure system that steers that super cold weather up and over this area and into Montana and eastward. We are into, what is usually some of the coldest weather of the year for this area, for a normal year! When was the last of those, normal years, thanks to climate change, whether from natural cycles or what's been changed by human expansion? Anyway, since before Christmas the area has been lows in the 8 to 10-degree (F) range (-13 C to -12 C) with highs in the upper teens to low 20's (-6 C or so). As mentioned the last post, we'd

Yeah!! The Elections are over!!! For now.....

Yes we're sure glad the elections are over, that is a really good thing. But we're even more happy that they're over because of the CONSTANT commercials on TV and the, seemed like, every night calls at home. With the stretched out length of this election "season" (as it was referred to on many programs!), and with those increasingly annoying TV adds and calls to sway votes, we quit answering the phone all together, were really bad and lasted so much longer this time around. And with our ability to see regional TV from other locations in the US and Canada, what we didn't see for more local stuff, we saw the same kinds of things for those areas instead. It was interesting at times, and thoughts of how things could have changed if the actual election had been held earlier with the rush of pro Palin, or if Obama had chosen Hillary instead of Biden, just so many things this time around had potential for some serious changes to the outcome! But we've got what

Other things from the past week

Hornets, Yellow jackets, and Wasps, a very, very bad year this year for them around here!  And not just in our area but most of North Idaho from what we've found out. In fact when Stacy stopped at Wal Mart to buy some new bait for our traps, Wal Mart was sold out and across the street at Home Depot, she was lucky to get there when a new shipment of traps and bait was being opened. She was told by the clerk that their shipments have been selling out in less than a day and as quick as a half hour as so many people are having problems with the bugs! And hospital and doctor visits have increased dramatically too due to stings according to the news. It has been both hotter and dryer than normal locally this summer so mosquitoes were way down, a very good thing!  But now in late August when the "skitos" would be low anyway, the Hornets, Yellow Jackets and Wasps, and yes we have all three types on our place!, have been going crazy quietly building nests all over the
