On the road again....


Sing with me, you know the words....
Coffee is hot and the Squirrel and I are heading out on a 860 mile drive today.

first stop...Hood River for coffee
Second stop....Pasco for coffee
Third stop...Couer D'Alene for lunch at a nice little Greek place.
Fourth Stop...Missoula for coffee
Fifth Stop....Bozeman for dinner..Montana Ale Works is the best place for dinner. When traveling through Montana this is a must place to eat.
arrive in Billings, MT.

This is not counting fuel stops and the "watering the tree" pit stops. I should be able to make the drive in 13 hours or less.

6500 lbs of steel and two furry woodland creatures at the helm.....

I hate when you drive more than 9 hours in a day -

and "but squirrel will be with me" doesn't exactly make me feel any better about the whole thing either -

two rodents hyped on java -

great.

(TKW - yeah, and it's really bad when we are sitting across the room from each other too . . . seriously with kid's schedules and time zones it has kinda worked out that way when he is on the road)

Take heart, Kel. DG and I have desks 4 feet from one another in the loft and we email one another back and forth. Saves the strain of having to turn our heads 45 degrees -- we're not getting any younger, ya know. And we don't have to worry about not hearing the TV over one another's voices. Technology makes likfe so tidy...

So, what car would you buy your kid???

There seems to be a general discussion running rampant around here about what type of car you should by a kid. And when said car should appear around the house. As I only have 4 years to pull this off, better start now. Things to consider before buying the car: 1. DD must complete 12 hours of flight time before taking test for permit. 2. Complete at least one driving school, Skip Barber , Bondurant Racing School , and so on. 3. DD must be able to change a tire, change the oil, do basic maintance on the car. I would like them to be able to strip down an engine and do a rebuild , however that may be just to much at this point. 4.DD must understand that I will not under any circumstance have or allow a pink car to park in front of my house. Cars come in four colors only, Red, Blue, Black, and British Racing Green. 5. Just what is the perfect Horse power to weight ratio? 6. Only one passenger in the car at a time. This is a good argument for a older British sports car that only has two s...

When do you take a Vacation?

I don't really take vacations, instead I take a lot of small trips with my family. I put the two little rodents in the back and we drive and enjoy time with each other. Although no one in the family is a road warrior like me, they do enjoy the destinations. I have not taken any days off this year and will take my "Vacation time" in December and have fun with the rodents. I guess I will never understand someone who needs to leave the kids with the Grandparents and go away for two weeks to some place expensive for a break. I mean, shouldn't you home life and family be where you want to go when you need a break. However, I do understand that this does not apply to my MIL....not going there.....not going there........We teach our kids to live and breathe in this world, don't do that, don't do this. But, do we ever teach our kids to have fun. Does anyone ever say do this, do that, or run wild and have fun? Next time you are driving down the road and you pass one of...

Year end review

Another year comes to a close.  Fantastic year for baking. Ending the year with spiced squash muffins. The persimmon cookies were a surprise hit.  Had a minir issue with the amplifier. Apparently letting the magic smoke out is a bad thing.  Added a new ride for Kelly and a new ride for me on the back of her ride. The princess is still a princess. Small child number two is now married. I was able to  invoke the oldest childhood tradition of no give backs.  Still at Garmin and doing well. Great company to work for. 380 miles on the new bike. It's been a long time since I racked up that many miles.  Upstairs bathroom remodel is complete. Not to bad for a beginner.
