July 20, 2018 Cooler Weather & Game Cam Photos

One of "our" bears on
the game cam. . .

. . .and a bobcat.

Wednesday 7/18. I helped JB get the other track on the snow blower.  Funny how easy it is when done right.

I vacuumed this morning.  Dinga is a constant shedding machine.  No more long-haired dogs for us.

I picked up the game cam card yesterday.  No elk, but some bears, a bobcat, and deer.

Our high for the day was 86, but the wind kept it quite pleasant.

Thursday 7/19. It was a chilly 56 with clear skies this morning and the house had cooled down nicely.

JB left a little after 8:30 am for an eye exam, to run some errands and just do his thing.  I worked in the loft, and now we can actually walk around up there.

He was back around 2:00 pm and had his fishing license.  He and Larry plan to go fishing next week on the Columbia River for sturgeon.  He hadn't had an eye exam in five years and the results were negligible, so he doesn't need new glasses.

We are having to fill the humming bird feeders every other day or so now that the second hoard has arrived.

The wind continued to blow all day, with gusts up to 12 mph.  Our high for the day was 81. 

Friday 7/20. It is 50 and breezy this morning with clear skies.  I am going down to Larry and Elsie's around 9:00 to pick blue berries.

Thought for the day: The budget should be balanced, the treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.  People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.  Cicero, 56 BC
So evidently we've learned nothing in the past 2,074 years.
