Don't worry about me. I'll survive. I ain't no snowflake!
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Saturday was a wash with having to take Wifey's car to Gainesville for service & detail. But, we did go to Ocala and look at the Sundowner toy hauler and Krawler trailers. I think we've eliminated them. But, they are affiliated with Modern Muscle Cars and they had some seriously nice 'Vettes and Mustangs in their showroom. They take those 60's 'Vettes and put modern suspension, brakes, engine, and transmissions in them but they look fantastic. Check 'em out.
Sunday was yard day since I had a case of the azz when we got back Saturday. The weekends fly by!
Y'all have a good night and I hope everyone has a great week. We start a new employee tomorrow so that may be interesting. Otherwise I see another *****-to-the-wall week with at least a Panama City trip probably Tuesday.

Barely survived today. Checked out a 1959 airstream trailer but he wanted $45,000. Said it cost $60,000 to restore! It was beautiful, for sure.

Went on a 6 mile hike up Stevens Pass (4601 ft) that my daughter said was 2 hours. Took 4+ hours. Trail was steep at the bottom, and then followed a railroad grade abandoned after the worst avalanche disaster in US history. At least the scenery was beautiful...


View from trail to Wellington, WA.

Started the 50 mile drive home. After 10 miles, it was stop and go the rest of the way. All of Seattle was coming home from the mountains. Took 3 hours. At least the scenery was beautiful...


Driving home on US 2. Index, WA.

High of 84F expected tomorrow in Seattle-land.

We're some mowing fools around here. I did mine yesterday, along with some extensive string trimmer work. Hot as hell with the humidity off the charts. I wonder how much it would cost to pave my yard and paint it green.

I've been 30 yards from a bear. I think the one that came up to me was bigger, but it gets bigger every year.

Bears can't see that great, but they can smell from a long way away. Don't go out smelling all fruity.

She's definitely cool, calm, and collective in that situation. If that was me, that bear's left paw would be full of shxt! It does look like he's copping a feel there. Inappropriate bear behavior.

I was climbing a 14-er* back in 2012 when I came across a family of mountain goats. I did my best to look non-threatening and they let me approach fairly close and take pictures for 30 minutes.



This picture - taken with a simple digital point and shoot camera - got published on the cover of a regional magazine.


* - A 14-er is a mountain peak in Colorado that is at least 14,000' elevation. There are fifty two 14-ers in Colorado, but only fifty of them are hikable. The remaining two require technical climbing gear (ropes).
