Last Home Game

Got home with a stop in Boise. Where we went up to Idaho City for lunch an antiques with John & Mary.
Old time wheel made from 1 x ?s bolted together. Note to Amy: this technique would work for the chicken coop.
A steam powered table saw.

Had a good visit while Teri and Mary played with Mary's new iPad. Then it was back home to do laundry and leave again for Portland for the last regular season home game and a birthday (I missed the cake but got donuts).

Took a different bus to the game so I could look at the new bridge going up for light rail. 

The The bridge is growing out from the two islands to meet at the center and east & west abutments at the same time.
Almost there.

Last grand kid fix.

All were transfixed by the show.

Even grandpa Larry.
A truck video, complete with labels and sound.

No project work just a design meeting for the play structure roofing then back to Redmond.

Weather has been perfect. Reminds me of the old westerns.  Lefty says, "Sure is quiet out tonight". Then Dusty says, "yeah, almost too quiet". Next thing you know one or both of them are wearing arrows.

Stay warm, but not too warm.
