Golfed like a donkey

But there were highlights. Like this guy, happily munching on grass just off the 13th tee –

Good work deer, making the grounds-crew’s job that much easier.

The world’s happiest flowers

They always seem to be anyway –

Tell me I’m wrong….

Dream BIG

Posted on July 10, 2013 by cyetso

Boeing does. By chopping off the top of a 747-400, and making it BIGGER –

That is a Dreamlifter buzzing the house this afternoon on the way to Everett (sorry, small lens on today’s walk – click the photo for large; click again for massive).

Looks like it shouldn’t work, but somehow it does.

Cool, every time I see it.

And so it ends

Posted on July 7, 2013 by cyetso

The beacon of home calls. Strongly. Responsibilities await.

Home.
Cats.
Fish.
Bills.
Dr.’s appointments.
Jobs.

Not necessarily in that order. The beacon calls nonetheless –

We’re home now. Safe and sound. We’ve got things to do tomorrow that are more important than traipsing around the NW on a motorcycle. We’ll keep thinking of the traipsing. And the wonderful visit we had.

Thanks everyone. GREAT to see you all.

Charlie & Marla

The problem with Nowheresville

Posted on July 6, 2013 by cyetso

No internet. Therefore no photos. Zip. Zero. Nada. Florence Oregon, thank you for reminding us of that. Couple from the last two days;

Paul and Babe in Klamath California –

The coast, as hard as –

And as we settle in for the night, a sunset from the balcony –

Not so bad for a couple of rookies?
Tomorrow it’s off to home, and, reality.

More boring family vacation photos later.

Just riding along

Posted on July 4, 2013 by cyetso

Some shots from the road, courtesy of the passenger –

Well, there you have it, a snapshot of our ride today. We’re in Eureka, having covered 300+ miles. Started out nice (68 and sunny), got cold (60 degrees), rained a whole bunch (soaked), got hot (107 degrees) and everything in between. More later and details too.

Thanks to Marla for playing photographer today.

Happy Fourth, from the road

Posted on July 3, 2013 by cyetso

Not a lot of pictures the last couple days, sorry. Busy being lazy. That’s that.

Wishing everyone a Happy 4th of July.

Thanks to everyone that makes these things possible, YOU are the true celebration –

Honor the 4th

I did nothing productive today

Posted on July 1, 2013 by cyetso

Unless you think hanging with people you love and eating good counts as productive –

Oh yeah, we shopped gazillion dollar boats. Julie says she’s gonna write a check for the Riva. I’m not sure Dan knows…..

And by the way, hanging with people you love is the most productive thing ever.
