2017 – Day 128

Monday, May 8, 2017

My tendency to procrastination is becoming apparent with my half-hearted attempts at maintaining a blog.  I seem to vacillate between really wanting to keep an online journal and wanting to binge watch “Big Little Lies”. 😉

I’ve let my studies go to pot over the last month and decided that I need to keep the distractions to a minimum and get at least 3-5 hours of studying in daily.  I’ve still got the ambition to complete my B.B.A. before August 1st.

Last Saturday and Sunday were gorgeous in the Methow.  Boo and I went bike riding both days.  On Saturday we biked a little over 12 miles around Bear Creek Rd. and Pearrygin Lake and Sunday I biked 15 miles to Mazama while Tiago met a friend in Mazama and they biked 20 miles up to Rainy Pass.

 

 

2017 – Day 120

Sunday, April 30, 2017

The close of another good weekend.  Last Friday was my mom’s 70th birthday and Tiago met me in Brewster to take my mom and dad out to dinner.  I had dad called family members and around 14 people showed up to help celebrate mom’s birthday dinner at Los Comparos.  My dinner was great, but mom said her vegetarian enchiladas kept her up all night.

Our friend Shane, who used to be a Marshall in Okanogan County, but now works for a Harley Davidson dealership in Renton, has a police dog, Bosco, that’s been at his house in Pateros.  Tiago stopped by to pick up Bosco and we’re going to take care of him for a bit.

On Saturday morning we took Bosco down the street to Heckendorn park to let him run around a bit.  We decided that he probably needed a good hike so we packed him up in the truck and headed outside Winthrop to climb Lewis Butte.


Today, we relaxed most of the day and then took Bosco to Big Valley and hiked 5.5 miles.  Bosco ran  around so much that we finally made a dent in his energy level and he finally got a little tired.  


Almost bedtime (7:47 PM).  I’ll be getting up at 4:00 AM to head back down to Moses Lake.  We came back after our hike and watched the last two episodes of “Big Little Lies”.  We were hooked from the beginning, but instead of binge-watching, we only watched a couple episodes each weekend.  Now Tiago’s gottem me into watching “Naked and Afraid”.  I dunno if I’m really getting into it, but it’s fun to watch these butch guys that brag about their “survival” skills tap-out after a couple of days, while the women hang in for the entire 21-day ordeal.
