Mondays Suck!

Mondays Suck!

Least its not raining I guess!




Freight Trains Suck!












Monday Morning Attitude Adjustment! It didn't work, still crabby!

Weekend Chores

Saturday was a great day! Dad came up and helped install some garage shelves so I could get the storage boxes off the floor! Tons of fun!











After organizing the garage and doing some other shopping we had supper out at the fire pit and spent a quiet evening chatting. Good times! Couldn't ask for better weather! Flames did get a bit hot, had to slide everyone back a bit, didn't want anyone to melt!

Coffee & Cash Run

Run out to find an ATM and get a Mocha this morning! Along the way we stopped at the pedestrian bridge at 4th & Spring to take a quick snap shot. Great view!

Passed by the Library on the way back to the office. It opens at 10 am and there always seems to be line of people waiting to get in. Must be pretty special inside. Might have to go check it out one day.


Did some shopping yesterday and at the check out find this little amazement! Can it really be that time already! July isn't even over and they have Halloween in your face! Come on let me enjoy what I have left of the summer! Its bad enough that everytime I go into a store I get blasted with 'Back To School'. It's such a downer!

Whiskey's Hawaiian Adventure

Whiskey had the pleasure of accompanying the lil sis & husband on a vacation to Hawaii! Lucky Bastard! Here we see him enjoying his usual drink and a 'smoke'. Pretty sure its not a cigarette! Doesn't look like he got lei'd though! Ha! Ha!

NEW 3G iPhone!

After 2 weeks of waiting I finally got the new 3G iPhone! Spent most of the evening figuring out how to work it and getting it to sync with my computer! Technology is great! Expensive but great! Its as small is Guntheer!

'The Bus Ride'

This is the Bus Tunnel that runs below the City

So we had a small social after work with some the engineers, project managers, and consultants I used to work with in the old job. That means I have to take the bus from the City back to Kent Station. It was an interesting ride to say the least. At least it was after the evening rush hour. I couldn't imagine being on it for 50 mins and packed with people.

Got an exciting night left! Going to go pick up my new 3G iPhone! I'm sure I'll have another post after I get it. Its so exciting!

'The Project'

Workin on the project schedule today! Expectations of having the pilot in place by fall 2009 is a dream! All the meetings to talk about meetings to schedule before work is even started is killing everything. something they should know since they live in this 'world'.

Roadside Chainsaw Woodcarver!

Went out'n about this beautiful Sunday to roam around a little town called Snoqualmie. Along the way we ran into the infamous 'Roadside Chainsaw Woodcarver'. We had to stop and see what was going on. Turned out to be an interesting visit with the owner and carver, Dan. You can check out the place at his website www.snoqualmiecarvers.com.

It's an interesting history Dan told us about. He and his wife moved up here from Souther California where he had a 30 year construction company. They moved north to be closer to a new granddaughter and early retirement. He taught himself the carving trade by watching others and taking notes during the many competitions held around the area. He has been selling them now for over 8 years and teaching it for 6! So if your interested and have 3 days, by all means, take up a new hobby. Looks fun and you get to play with power tools!

Here are a few pictures of our visit!That's a Big Chicken!

Relative? Lets hope not!

Hello, Moose!

Um, which one of these things isn't like the others?


A good time was had by all and we acquired a new friend! Can't beat that!

For those of you who do not live in the Pacific Northwest, PEMCO insurance has quite the AD campaign going on. Check out their Roadside Woodcarver profile TV AD below or at their website. www.werealotlikeyou.com Check the 'View the ADS' link at the bottom of the page.

Traveling Friends

Recieved a few pictures of a friend traveling; lil Poop (aka: LP); in the wondefully BRIGHT Las Vegas! Saying 'Hi' from Hard Rock Cafe. Hope its not to hot there!

Bumping into new people.

A friend sent this over from her lunch break. Its always fun bumping into and meeting new people on your daily roaming!

"Look what I saw @ lunch!"

The Commute!

Guntheer and I have the pleasure of riding the train into the city and home every day. With the price of gas, monthly downtown parking, etc it is much cheaper! Guntheer is so enviromentally conscious!

Snoqualmie Falls

Visiting close to home! Snoqualmie Falls with the Salish Lodge & Spa perched at the top!
Great little trip that's only 30 mins from home but seems far away when you get there.
