2017 – Day 163

Monday, June 12, 2017 It was another gorgeous drive down to Moses Lake this morning.  This is the last week of the school year which means bus inspections, riled children and probably some drama all mixed in together.  I’m looking forwarding to being on the summer schedule next week and putting in 4, 10-hour shifts, […]

2017 – Day 162

Sunday, June 11, 2017 It’s a lazy Sunday afternoon. https://flic.kr/p/UqBgER My boss told me a new way to go home.  Instead of taking Highway 17 from Moses Lake, through Soap Lake and by Dry Falls, I followed Stratford Road for around 25 miles and then got onto Pinto Ridge Road NE and followed that all […]

2017 – Day 157

Tuesday, June 6, 2017 I encountered this little fellow on my way to shower this morning.  Spring’s officially arrived. Here’s the progress of a toe-up sock I’m knitting.  I’ve only knitted a couple toe-up socks; I’ve always been a top-down sock knitter, but I’m beginning to see some real advantages to this type of knitting, […]

2017 – Day 156

Monday, June 5, 2017 This year is flying by.  It only seems like yesterday when I posted “Day 1” for the new year and here it is “Day 156” already.   Monday morning, up at 4:00 AM, showered and out of the house by 4:30 AM for my 2 1/2 hour drive down to Moses […]

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 […]

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 […]

2017 – Day 117

Thursday, April 27, 2017 What a treat!  Last night my Boo and our friend Shane made a surprise visit to Moses Lake to take me out to dinner. I’ve accepted the fact that my beard is becoming ungainly and I think it’s time I go to the barber shop and have the hedge trimmed back […]

2017 – Day 114

Monday, April 24, 2017 My Monday morning routine is waking up at 4:00 AM, showering, putting on my work clothes, gathering my remaining loose items not already stowed in my Jeep, namely my toiletry bag, computer bag, my cooler with my frozen prepped meals, and my two co-pilots, Little Miss and Buddy, toasting a bagel […]

2017 – Day 113

SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 2017 After spending my entire Saturday with my folks gallivanting around, I spent today catching up with my chores: washing and ironing my clothes and meal prep for the week.  But it wasn’t all work; Boo and I were able to get a nice little hike around Lewis Butte.   Meal prep […]

2017 – Day 112

Saturday, April 22, 2017 Tiago went biking with friends up the closed portion of Hwy. 20 up to Rainy Pass and I decided to drive over to Bridgeport and spend the day with my folks and we decided to driver over to Coulee Dam and have lunch at Molody (my mom’s favorite restaurant).
