Today’s the big day! Tiago and the other firefighters from OCFD #6 are at the Columbia Tower participating in the Scott Firefighter Stairclimb for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Here’s Tiago and Thor at the Columbia Tower.
It’s been a whirlwind weekend. After getting off work last Friday at 6, I drove home through Wenatchee so I could stop and pick up another 20 boxes of flooring so we can replace the carpet in our family room with wood floors. I also found out that an old friend of mine, who I hadn’t seen in a coon age, was going to be in Winthrop on Saturday.
Tiago I up got up early yesteday morning and got all our things put together for the trip (and I got my clothes washed and ironed for the workweek). Our dog sitter (mom and dad) couldn’t get their car out of their driveway because of mud so Tiago scrambled to find someone to watch our fur children. Lucky for us, Kavi was able to come over and house-sit for us while we’re in Seattle.
We meet my friend Ron Ulrich, his squeeze, Andrew, and a couple of his friends that also live in the Methow Valley, at Three Fingered Jacks for breakfast.
We were able to get on the road around 11 and had a very pleasant drive to Seattle and checked into our room at the Silver Cloud next to the stadium.
Happy hour with Thor and Anya at Jimmy’s on First.
Dinner with the group and the Alyessian Fields.
Breakfast before the climb.
I decided to walk down to Starbucks and do a little studying while my Boo is off on his climb.
