That's sublime Gary!^^^
Also, nice yakkin pics Bugs, we share that pass time.

My Son turned 27 yesterday, he's headed off to Prague in a week to teach for a school year... has me reminiscing about our shared adventures.

My favorite was in 2010, into the Alpine wilderness to a lake that shall remain nameless. No marked trail to it on any map, you need to do some overland navigation and 2 days of carrying a pack to get to the most perfect campsite I've ever had the pleasure to spend several nights at.

It's not a real hiking trip until first blood, he was a week shy of 18 on this trip


An entire mile long lake to ourselves


That there is a REI Sunbuster wool shirt that I purchased and wore at the same lake, on the same rock 25 years prior.
I kinda outgrew it, damn it


Early morning water filtering mission


More glorious lakes up that a way... it gets kinda steep

Skip,

Fantastic pics! The last one looks like the face of an ant. Lol! Yakin is a fun sport the wifey enjoys. Although, we are lacking the majestic views your seeing. Looking at branching out.
Awesome details about your son and his teaching.

Here is a public service announcement fun fact for LG washing machine owners.

With this type of drum


While doing wash, I discovered several coins that had wedged themselves between the side drum and floating base. By the looks of them, they have been there a bit of time by the wear pattern. They also were preventing the floating base plate to work as designed.




A major PITA to remove but now it is back up to speed.

This Honda Civic was actually one of the larger cars on the road!

When we got home, we went out to grab a bite. I caught myself on the wrong side of the road after we left our place. Luckily it was only a few hundred yards from our driveway and it’s a rural road.

Neighbor gave me a bunch of scrap metal bits so I'm working on simple yard art.

Bought a scanner for my slides. Found some old Las Vegas Grand Prix picks from probably '81 or '82. Simpler days. For example the Alfa steering wheel. Yes that is an F1 car. Gratuitous pic of Linda Vaungh. Found some of Mr. Lada and Mario
