They are closed on Mondays, and the previous Monday, someone tried to create a drive in, the bottom had already been pushed back out, but the windows still had to be replaced.

Hey Byron-
Hoping you got the surprise bump on the neck dealt with and all healed up!


There used to be a way I could check snow levels on a couple mountain reservoirs via web cam.
I liked knowing what gear I should pack for early season visits or get a quick look at on of my favorite places and resulting endorphin charge.

One by one as the cameras "failed" (I assume) Seattle City Light just let em go.
I miss that ability.

Thanks Skip,
It did heal, but now I have one on my forearm.

It took over 30 minutes to reel it in. Not me, just watching. Put up a good fight. It was released to fight another day.

Leaving for work the other morning. This couple was on my driver window. I hated to interrupt but I didn't have much choice.

It's Osprey Tuesday!!!

Taken an hour ago or so. Wind off the water. We have two nests now, one old school the other in a pine tree on the water. The Osprey's over the tree in the below pics are hovering. Magnificent fliers.







The nest is right below the Osprey.
