Went up to Brackendale on the way to Vancouver. Stopped in to see to the eagles –
Then it was off to the hockey game with our Australian/Slovakian friends Melissa and Guy, and their friends. Flyers beat the local squad in a shootout.
Awesome time, thanks Guy.
Today we eat drink and be merry in rainy Vancouver. Wish us luck. Full report later….
Out of the blue, a visit from Rick –
Another surprise, we went to Ray’s –
Then down to the locks to walk off lunch –
Then to watch the sun go down, Kerry Park –
Then a jaunt down to the waterfront –
Thanks for dropping in Rick, good to see you. We love playing tourist/tour guide.
We’re off to Canada to watch the Flyers beat up on the Canucks. First I gotta run to the hardware store and stock up on incandescent light bulbs……
Or is that dock 2? Went down to the airport yesterday, just to get out of the house for a bit. The place was deserted. We literally were the only ones there. So we walked around and took a few photos.
Self portrait –
Then over to the main terminal –
Then had a peek at the runway –
Then over to terminal 2, where all the action was. Couldn’t say which I like best, so you get all three. Tell me which one you like best?
Thanks to Kenmore Air for letting us stroll around. If you’re in Seattle and in need of a float-plane, go see them.
Marla went to the big airport today to send off Jamie. Only a mild case of boo-hoo’s. Thanks Jamie, for spending the holiday with us. The countdown to the next visit has already begun!
They’re building as fast as they can and putting them anywhere they can –
Not that it’s getting any cheaper. Just more crowded.
Makes Jack a dull boy. It also leaves him with precious little daylight to take photos. And then the yardwaste has to go out tomorrow, so some postwork yardwork was done by the light of the garage. Thankfully Jack took lots of photos the other day….
Watching the sunset from Magnolia looking towards Bainbridge Island –
Not too bad? Maybe Santa will drop off a nice tripod for Jack, so he can start working better with the low light? Maybe Jack should quit being so cheap, get off his lazy butt, and go buy one. The camera store is right down the street Jack….
Looking in storefront windows. Window shopping as it were (though I wasn’t shopping for windows. Misnomer.). Sometimes it’s not what’s behind the glass, sometimes it’s what’s in front of the glass that makes the store inviting. This worked –
They weren’t selling windows, so maybe that helped too?
This cat had it going on!
Fur coat on, singing Buffett tunes at the market. Good work my man, good work.
Metaphorically speaking anyway. The good foot Dr. has relieved the patient of the crutches she held with such disdain. Three more weeks of the boot, and we she will be good as new.
Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is actually just at the end of the pier –
A lot shorter trek to the end of the pier versus the tunnel. So we got that going for us.
For instance, ‘If you build it, they will come.’ from Field of Dreams. Some doorknob took this way to seriously and built a GIANT FERRIS WHEEL right down on the waterfront –
Great movie, great story, great line. One problem; When it’s 30 out and threatening snow, nobody wants to ride a 320 foot tall Ferris Wheel. The employees were huddled around a fire burning in a trash barrel, drinking whiskey out of a bottle concealed in a paper bag. No wait! Those might have been homeless people. Not sure. Either way, the place was deserted.
At least it’s not an eyesore.
At forty thousand feet –
I don’t know if they’ll catch it or not, but they’re giving it a go.
Good for them.
