Busy, busy, busy...

... flying in circles!

If I were not home with an eye infection and for some serious reading for work, I would have missed the air show... AWAC, F16 (I think... F18 shake the house, those didn't) and an Aurora, flying in circles, doing touch and go's. One scheduled Central Mountain Air. Fun to watch.








Did I get a lot of work done? Guess!

Wow, I've got a river otter...

... hunting or living (?) under my deck!

A healthy, beautifully slick, young otter. Of course I didn't have my camera at hand, as is usually the case, when I really need it... The black rascal came from under the porch, ran to towards the beach, hesitated and returned, disappearing under the porch. I hope it doesn't have a nest there, because the deck will soon be replaced...

What about that old stuff?

... it's not at the dump!

In an earlier post I was musing about three old electronic appliances I had, tiny TV/Radio with battery pack, heat writing FAX/phone/answering machine, Toshiba CT300, notebook computer with docking station... I just can't throw them out!

I kept the fax, a friend who visited here recently needed to send a fax (not email), a form with signature, overseas. So, I unpacked the fax machine, plugged it in, turned it on, sent the fax, disconnected and voila, task accomplished.

The Toshiba notebook went to a 12 year old kid. His parents don't want him on the internet, he wants to play games... I left Office 97 on the machine, cleaned it all off, and the kid is in heaven!

The tiny TV is still here. I'll keep it a little longer. Perhaps I'll find a place where a good radio and occasional black/white TV program breaks up the day, such as at that busy farm stand that provides field-fresh goodies all summer long.

Time to clean the BBQ!
