Day 209

Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Now for something completely different…. I was driving for the Red Cross to Missoula last Friday, and trying to get back through Bonner on the way home I had to wait! Montana Rail Link occasionally runs and engine and cars into the old plywood plant in Bonner.  They store logs and chips there. The Fireman […]

Day 284: Silverton!

Sunday, October 12, 2014

The northern terminus of the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad. Downtown Silverton. (This page is a mix of the Dailylife Wife’s photos and mine…) One of the fun looking places there.  Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to try it out… Driving up to the end of town, I found a sort-of-underground house. Interesting. What […]

(A couple of new photos at the bottom!  And one in the middle!) After the Potters Marsh we drove on to Hope.  It is about 40 miles, at the end of one of the roads out of Anchorage to the South West. It was still pretty cloudy, although there wasn’t much rain with it. (Dailylife […]

Day 185: Happy Independence Day!

Saturday, July 5, 2014

It was  low keyed 4th of July around our house.  Lugnut and Lugwrench are in New Mexico at Lugwrench’s brother’s retirement from the US Navy! The Dailylife Daughter #2 and Toots got painted up and went to the parade, which they said was a lot shorter than normal.  The only aircraft was the Mercy Flight […]

Day 163

Saturday, June 14, 2014

We drove to Tacoma on Friday to visit the Dailylife Daughter #2.  We took a surprise for her early birthday present: Toots! This is at Frank’s Diner in Spokane.  It is an old executive railcar turned into a diner.  Very good food, and we sat at the counter! (Samsung Galaxy 5s) Looking the other way… […]
