Keeping The Windmill Alive - Your Last Trip? – August 2019

Local scuba diving location.

Then, back to the dive shop.

Am up near Campbell River, The fishing is said to be the best many have seen it for years.
Tomorrow get out and catch some fish! Head home on Sunday.

School districts around here are starting on different days this week and next. I almost have to watch the news each morning to see if the route i took yesterday will work today or tomorrow.

Finally retired the old '98 Honda Civic (334,000+ miles) and drove the 'new to me' 2011, BMW 335d down and back. 36+ MPG on the hyper-miling drive back home. I never had a vehicle before capable of 600 miles to a tankful. (16 gallon tank at that!) The Honda went to a single mom needing a car for $1.

Summer Streets!

We are both very positive and know we will beat this?
He has a rare cancer and for now if is being treated with two shots a day. I have never given a shot before and have to give these each day. It is stressful. In a couple of weeks they will start him on a larger shot once a month. He will get these in the dr. Office. So far we can see some improvement in his breathing and cough.
I am staying very positive and this keeps him positive.
Thanks again for the above thoughts.

No trips yet. But, maybe one to AC, NJ coming up.

Summer is not giving up just yet! Everyone stay safe out there

Went all through NYS. Cooperstown, Howe Caverns, Saratoga, etc. It rained and rained but still a good trip!

and we leave on a trip Wednesday morning. Will be very early departure since we have an excessive heat warning for 3 days with highs of 110....ugh.

Going to Cousin's surprise 80th birthday party. Wouldn't miss it for the world!

Get well

Finding my way around Vancouver, BC this week.

Gps helped me along the way.

The pool.

Antique Week Show

to my daughter's new house.

Enjoying the last days of summer.

Well, the first-day outboard not starting. Fixed starter and other various problems found at this time.
Relaunch boat next morning, the engine starts and off we go. Lost one and had a shaker on and that's about it. Saw many boats out but only about 4 nets into the water for fish.
Headed home the next day.

Used our Garmin and Ohio Wineries/Distilleries and Breweries to find a new (to us) brewery.

Time for another beach escape

Can't even ride the bike - heat index well over 100! Brain fried :/

Short ride to Bithlo

Have a great day!

in Spanaway wa. it was a little hard to find it was off the main road and it was fun and the food was good we used the GPS to get there and passed it up the first time

nothing

Same here

Here and there

I traveled across the Cumberland Plateau to Crossville, TN to get sourwood honey. Sourwood honey is seasonal in the Appalachian areas of East TN, West NC, and North GA. It is a special honey and a commodity if you are a honey connoisseur.

Buyers outside of the region beware of imitation sourwood honey that has added flavoring and is labeled as sourwood. Buyers should also beware of most honey on the grocery store shelves. Unfortunately the food industry takes honey and adds high fructose corn syrup and other sweeteners to the honey. It is also highly filtered, so the original honey is extremely processed. For this reason we only buy our honey from local apiaries.

As a bonus, I stopped on the way back home to pick some fresh blueberries and get 100% blueberry juice, blueberry syrup, blueberry jam, blackberry jam, wildflower honey, and bronze (white) muscadine juice. Overall, it was a good day for obtaining farm fresh products from local farmers.

Nice dry weather.

Still enjoying Summer. It had better last until at least September 8 though!

My last trip was from Toronto to Quebec. It was last week. I used Garmin for trip.

Waiting in hospital for my husband's PET scan. Will get results Thursday.

Hoping for the best for you both, Mary!

Thanks, we should find out more Thursday. They may start the monthly shots. If they do I think I get to stop giving the two a day shots. I am getting better at the shots but his arms are running out of spaces to give the shots.
Thanks again for your concern.
