Coulee Fire










Allison and I took a drive and were amazed how big the fire was, it is estimated at 13,000 acres. It goes from about where Chris got his deer last year all the way down to about Nespelum. All of robs favorite spot is burned. The fire crews are still out putting out hotspots. I hope we get some rain before hunting? Here are a few pictures.

Pictures later

It's Friday

Yup it is!

I had a good week here in Alhambra, The supervisor of the techs I had in class today called and had me send all of the techs back to their yard because the loads where heavy, they left at 8:00 this morning so I did some lab maintenance till about 1:00 got some lunch, came to the Motel and took a nap. I am staying in Arcadia a beautiful town (kinda yuppie) of course I fit right in :-) I had quite a few Verizon techs here in the Hotel this week training for FIOS, Verizon has a training center in Monrovia not to far from here.

While spending time in Motels I have time to think, so this week I thought about what my Grand Kids will call me? Too many papa's out there, so I will be "POPI", Any questions? Now all we need is the Grand kids!

Allison is riding into Spokane with Joan (Chris and Denise's neighbor) tomorrow and will meet me at the airport. We are going to hang out maybe do some shopping. Maybe a quick stop at the casino then home for 4 1/2 days. I go to Sacramento on Wednesday. Currently I am off the schedule after that.

My "Save a Bee Eat Your Honey" shirts ship on Monday I am taking orders now $12.00 All sizes for friends and Family. Great gift for anybody you know that is into Bee's. Or just likes Wacky Shirts! The Turkey hats will be here towards the end of August.

Thats all for now!

Have a great Weekend

Yup I survived

Just in case you were concerned?? My kids did call!! I got jolted in the earthquake to day (5.4). It hit around 11:20, the first jolt felt like someone hit our building with a big truck, then we got the rollers and they hit pretty hard. I felt 2 aftershocks. But safe and sound!

Chris and Denise have been at there place all week and are coming over for a BBQ at 6. Shaun and Jeanea got there yesterday around 6pm and I think are heading home on Sunday. Shaun has been off on maternity leave since the baby (Madden) was born on May 28th., he goes back to work n Monday. I was hoping Ryan and Dewayne could come up but or Butt that is out now, Ryan has a Colan thing on Monday. Gonna have a big steak, Watermelon and Mac salad! I haven't had a steak in a couple of months. I am hoping for Spaghetti on Saturday. I head to Alhambra in Southern Cal on Monday for 4 days then come home until Wednesday the 6th. I go to Sacramento for a 2 classes and then come home the 14th at midnight. I am not on the schedule after that so I am hoping for some down time and fishing!! I was offered a 6 month stint at Verizon a couple of days ago and am waiting to hear more on that, we'll see. It is on the west side and I would have to pay my expenses to live over there.

OK gotta go set up a couple computers! Talk to you all later!

P.S. I haven't had anyone jumping out of their chairs about my shirts!
