we did our walk this morning. we drove to the reasonably driveable road end and walked from there. its a road by an extremely loose definition. its gravel and chunky rocks and goes uphill relentlessly. took us 4 hrs 15 min round trip ending at 7220 feet. about 5-6 miles total but very...

its been mid 70's some days here so yes, snow sounds weird. its a higher elevation in the park and theres a storm system moving thru dropping temps. monday may not have been a good day but we picked it last week and forecast was better then. this explains why we have not successfully...

didnt do a lot yesterday. long appt with the plumber to get water heater fixed, did therapy work and several sets of upper body moves. mountain biked this morning. 2 hours about 8 miles. uphill one direction and all downhill on the way back. its not hard but a good conditioner...

We talked to a neighbor yesterday while giving her some of our extra tomato plants and found there have been quite a few grizzly bear sightings here including a sow with 2 cubs. decided not to bike here until later in the season. there were specific issues like a partly eaten carcass in...

Decent drive yesterday but 10 hrs 45 min. nice that daylight hours are longer. saturday night I tried aurora pics but all I got was a faint pink tinge to the sky nothing like the pics Ive seen. got up again last night here with much bigger darker sky but nothing at all. most of pictures...

thanks for gettign us started Judy. we are heading for montana in the morning. hopefully for longer than a day or two! tried to see the aurora last night but we both got up at different times and neither of us saw anything. a neighbor very close to here had some great pics but it was...

We did a road ride yesterday for an hour and fifteen minutes and did a mt bike this morning for 1.5 hours. we have several really nice weather days now. Ugh, cathy, tornadoes scare the crap out of me. Ive said that before. seeing camera footage of swirling storm clouds puts me into...

Carolyn I'm very cautious about unknown callers. when I expect a call and need to give our gate code to get in, I make an exception. I had a couple minutes only because I saw their truck drive by to turn around to back down the driveway. steep driveway so I had all of 7 minutes to empty...

Refrigerator came yesterday. delivery crew was more than an hour early. I had to empty two refrigerators in an instant, because I was waiting until the last hour to do it. they apparently called DH's phone but he didnt answer because he didnt recognize the number. his phone ... I didnt...

Lots of rain yesterday and today. we get light rain for a long time, not the texas style flooding rains. I did therapy only yesterday. nothing yet today. we need to do a refrigerator switch around tomorrow. planned to get a cheap garage refrigerator to replace the 35 yo one we have...

so that must have been a skink cathy? the lizard with the blue tongue? wow. interesting critter. seattle has a zoo but I dont think Ive ever been there. maybe when I first moved here but I dont think so. I love seeing all those unusual ( for us) animals moving around in a reasonably...

We did a road ride yesterday, the usual 15 miler. it was lovely out and not crowded. did therapy work later. today we did a mountain bike early. still cold out and muddy but we expected it to be crowded later because of some closures in other parts of their forest. cut it a little...

I do not live where tornados happen. that is a big fear and I got out of the midwest just to not have to think about them. diane sue that must have been so depressing to see things completely destroyed like that. I did a 30 min spin and a series of bicep tricep exercises although not a...

Cathy , texts between iphones are blue. if another brand phone is involved, the text changes to green. also happens if imessage is not turned on in settings on one of the phones. that was one thing that was weird....all 3 phones involved in the swap out were iphones but still turned...

issues with our phones settled down by themselves... when you switch numbers on a phone.... taking my number and putting it on a brand new phone, while taking DH's number off his old phone and putting it on my phone, its bound to cause a short period of awkwardness. we had to reset imessage...
