Gotcha!

Mon, 07/31/06 11:25 A GMT-08
One of our office staff loves to scare people.  As do I.  I've gotten him a couple of times, and he's tried to get me.  So when he was out of the office, stuffing his face back in the crew quarters, I crawled underneath his desk.

Channel surfing tonight - stopped for awhile on CMT, who was showing a Hee Haw Marathon.  I mentioned to Gaelen that I used to watch this show frequently when I was a child.  His reaction?  "Apparently it was in black & white

Back at home after several hours of concrete & rock work at the new Toledo Fire Station.  The concrete block retaining wall is up (even after part of it was accidently knocked down by the Chief, in 'command' of a tractor)  Today, when I

Wild Weekend

Just back from the bowling alley.  Gaelen & I bowled a few games.  It's been warm locally, and it's very warm inside the bowling alley.  I did manage to bowl a 126 game, with a few strikes thrown in.  Love those bumpers... Sa

The Bear Cam Necessities

Wed, 07/19/06 8:45 A GMT-08
I found a web cam that shows bears feeding at the McNeil River Falls in Alaska.  The falls have long been known for excellent bear photography.  There is a viewing area, but is very limited for space.  Now there's a web cam.  In j

I'm actually off today!  I'm headed off to Portland to pick up my youngest son.  I've been working every day for a week, the last two being a marathon 48-hour shift.  I got about 6 hours of sleep the first night, and a very broken 3-4

Fairly Interesting

Sat, 07/15/06 7:55 A GMT-08
The Fair duty wasn't bad.  I pretty much just wandered around all day, waiting in vain for somebody to fall off their horse, beer garden bench, or just generally fall out & need expert attention.  The only time I opened up my pack was t

Was on call yesterday.  Nothing all day until 6 p.m., when I got called in.  We were running calls until 11, when I got to come home.  The weather was very low clouds/fog, and either a mist or very fine rain, at least right on the coas

Busy weekend

Tue, 07/11/06 4:19 P GMT-08
Nance & I are back from Central Oregon.  We went over to shoot a small wedding, which went well, despite the 103 degree temperature.  The cake did not fare as well, as it sorta, well, slumped.  We got that done with, got some

Neighborly Dispute?

Tue, 07/11/06 4:05 P GMT-08
The neighbors have a hedge between their houses.  I'm not sure if there's an agreement about who trims what, but as I was leaving the other day, I noticed this... Kinda looks like a punk rock Chia pet, don't it?  

I can now be called a redneck

Spent several hours yesterday in the sun creating forms for concrete footings to be used on a rock retaining wall at the new Toledo Fire Station.  Of course, I neglected to put on sunscreen, and now my neck is several many shades darker than&nbs

Ponderings v4

Fri, 07/07/06 7:38 A GMT-08
  Well, OK, so they're slow.  Is this a warning sign or a neighborhood insult?  And these slow kids play.  And...???  I bet they can spell.

Illusions & Delusions

Thu, 07/06/06 10:40 A GMT-08
First off, the Illusion...  As you probably know, the phone book cover last year had a photograph that I had taken. Sure is pretty, right?  Well, on our Anniversary/Fireworks cruise, we sailed right by that boat.  It's still anchore

confessions of a (not) bowler

Sat, 07/01/06 7:40 A GMT-08
I suck.  Of course, like I mentioned, it's been probably 25 years since I last bowled.  The key word?  Inconsistency.  I literally would throw a strike followed by a gutter ball.  Ot two.  Oh well. I'm taking Micha
