Two weeks in Redmond, Or - Hail, thunderstorm, kids and grandkids, and a couple of visitors. Good time - 84 today and cooling quickly. The humble abode the latest soon to be thunderstorm and cooling - with a jet heading into the storm
Here I be in Bothell - made it to the greater Seattle area. Why I do not know - the only good thing is it is GREEN. After crossing Mt Hood I had to admit it is green here. We have been in the SW for a bit and it is green - also have had more rain in the last 2 weeks than we had for 6 months. but green.
Sitting here watching the local news - damn that gal on 13 has nice hooters.
OK here is the humble abode looking west from Abraham's rocking chair
and a view looking east from the rocking chair - Abraham's btw there is a tall cedar where an eagle sits and I will try to get a pix of that with all the crows annoying the hell out of it. Eagles make some neat noises when crows bug them

New locale for Mabel and Abraham's rocking chair - made it further north
Got here and the bro-in-law came by - we drank beer all afternoon. He is a converted Buttwiper drinker - not sure what drove him away but I have my ideas about his conversion - to Coors light. He needs to keep an eye on things as he is diabetic. and a drunk. After wasting away the afternoon the Mrs and I enjoyed a grilled bone-in rib steak - 2 LBer from Double D meats in Mountlake Terrace, best meat market in northern Seattle area
Been visiting a hell of a lot of folks since hitting Bend, kids soccer, T-ball games, brothers, soon to be seeing a sister, and nieces and nephews - the best part I finally creamed by brother in cribbage. does not happen often - I think he cheats.

Any who - the view of Mt Baker is good from here
Mountlake Terrace is an unheralded gem in the PNW. Hell yes they have cinder block houses, but Double D meats is the shit. Decent parks and rec center where yours truly learned how to swim in the early 70s and lived above Lake Ballinger when I started at the UW. Right on the county line, that old joke of a neighborhood is a developers dream on fire. Light rail station is lighting up that old hamlet like a bonfire. You will hear more from Terrace in the next few years. Oh yes, yes you will.

I grew up next door in Brier. MLT sucks and always will. It's in the blood of the residents and bones of the infrastructure. Perfect representation of WESCO.
