I went out with my wife and a friend recently to take a few pictures up around North Bend an Snoqualmie. We stopped at an old Mill pond and got some great shots of the mountains reflected on the water. At Snoqualmie it was amazing to see the moss covered trees down by the river. Just goes to show even the damp of the Northwest has it's own rewards. And yes, we stopped and had lunch at Twin Peaks cafe in North Bend and tried some of the famous Cherry Pie. I've added a couple of pics from the day in the photo album and one below as a taster.

Smartphones??

676 days ago

Got a new phone over the Christmas and decided to upgrade to a Smartphone. Have been trying to sync it with my mail etc for the last week or so. They should put a warning on the damn box that the phone requires a smart user! As it is the name is a bit misleading. I got the impression that it did the stuff that I am too dumb to do, but apparently only if I solve the riddle of life and figure out how get it working. Do you hear that????? It's laughing at me....

Bikes and snow

Looked out the window at about 3.45 and noticed the snow was coming down pretty hard. Decided to hit the road early in case it started to stick. Glad I did. it got really heavy and by the time I got home there was a good bit of snow on the ground, and on me. Now that's hard core!!!

Man Weekend

1152 days ago

Went on my first ever "Man Weekend" last weekend. Now ordinarily I would think there are many ways to interpret such a thing, but it turns out this is kind of like an extension of the Irish "Lads night out" but lasts longer. A friend has a cabin in Leavenworth and so 5 of us went up to spend some quality time drinking good whiskey/beer, eating plenty of red mead and smoking cigars. This also coincided with the Oktober fest that has been hosted in Leavenworth for the last few years (who knew!) It was also a great excuse to take the bike over the mountains. Something I've been meaning to do for a while but never got around to it. I left work at about 4.00 and set off on a beautiful Friday afternoon. Since I travel light on the bike, my contribution to the proceedings was the very space economical large bottle of Jameson Irish Whiskey. I arrived at 6.30 (the rest of them were already there enjoying a couple of beers on the deck) and was handed a cool refreshing ...
