Laying in wait. Tried to walk the dog on our regular route this morning and this guy rerouted us. Lazing in a puddle.

The spiders are having a big feast tonight.
If you look close, there's a second, smaller one in the upper right.

I need to pressure wash the outside of the gutters.

Father's day trip to Tofino got canceled due to an intense wildfire partway up Vancouver Island.
Our first trip since 2018...
Crap!

Consoling myself with Molokai memories

I saw this on the back of a Mercedes yesterday. I don't know if it stays open all the time or closes. Looks like a camera in there.

Trip to Tofino that was not to be...
Wildfire closed the paved access. Could get there on active logging roads, hearing 3-4 hours of thick dust- nope.








Kinsol Trestle, "tallest free-standing and most spectacular timber rail trestle structures in the world. At 187 metres in length and standing 44 metres above the salmon bearing Koksilah River"





Very cool rails to trails success, it was broken off at one point in time and rebuilt to it's amazing condition now




Just a giant jigsaw puzzle- numbered for "easy" assembly

Fort Rodd hill lighthouse, oldest on Canada's west coast- you can wander through, access to the tower is closed.
Bummer














This woman is still alive and kicking- her swimming exploits are crazy!
over 20 hours swimming Lake Ontario and this one from the US to Vancouver Island... that's intense!

Panoz in motorsports

In 1989, Panoz funded an upstart company started by his son Dan, called Panoz Auto Development. Reportedly, the senior Panoz was skeptical at first of his son's venture, but later used his position in the business world to bring celebrity motorsport figures such as Mario Andretti on board with the goal of entering a Panoz race car in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race.

Panoz Motorsports was formed in 1997 in Braselton and entered its brand new car, the Panoz Esperante GTR-1, at Le Mans. The team was competitive, finishing ahead of all but two of the major factory teams in its class.

In 1999, Panoz founded the American Le Mans Series with the aim of bringing European-style endurance sports car racing to the Americas.
Yep, I remember when Panoz was active.


I remember their prototypes with the two nostrils.

This photo really makes the viewer feel the immensity of the surroundings. The scale is perfect.
