The last two years we've spent a few days on San Juan Island and last year we went crabbing while we were there, caught a nice mess of 'em. Doing it again this year.

First pic is the Sunrise side on Rainier
Second pic is marmots on the Paradise side
Third pic is an Orca at San Juan Island
I see! It sounds like you took the same wrong turn as us. It basically drives you around the mountain and down to the Ice Caves nearby. Then down near Randall WA, and towards Puyallup from the back side. If I didn't have work that same night it would have been a great ride.

I don't k ow if I'll ever get tired of Washington. Plenty of places have a beautiful landscape but Washington (so far) has been the best. Even better than Oahu HI.

Money is most definitely nice to have. Whoever said money can't buy happiness probably didn't have money to spend on their favorite car, or even on their family to take them out somewhere nice. But, moreover happiness doesn't just come from money. You have to live happily too. I don't personally have a lot of money, I'm scraping together what I have to take a road trip with some friends visiting from Norway, we are headed to Vegas, then LA after seeing the grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam. But, between saving for that, and getting my daily driver in better condition, there isn't a ton of money floating around. Sure better spending habits could help but overall, I'm still happy. I have nice (to me) vehicles, and I can still enjoy some luxuries on occasion.

Create your own happiness

2000+$'s later the chore tractor has two new tires. Don't ask what the big tractors tires cost, I've only bought six of them earlier this year and a set of skid loader tires..... And my truck neads new tires soon as well.

I think my tire guy thinks I'm his new best friend....

Lol. Did you get a slash in it? They seemed decent yet.

My tractor driving tractor is going to need new tires one of these years. I'm holding out as long as I can. I'm probably going end up waiting too long and have one leave me on the side of the road

It is Mustang Week here at Myrtle Beach, but I did not see that particular one! Mostly newer models, without the classy accessories.

So after a long week of preparing the 101 for my trip, we can't get 2 parts here from Europe on time for tomorrow. So, yesterday I picked a different yacht and just filled up the tanks we are loading this afternoon and taking off in the am... It's a 88' Ferretti with 4 crew, at least it has a jacuzziName:  image.jpeg
