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

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...

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...

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 ...
