I'm up in the Sierras today. Just finished putting up the tent. Now I'm just relaxing having a cup of coffee, heated over a campfire , with my lovely wife.
And no work the rest of the week.
Just mountains, streams, and trout.
If that don't cheer you up I don't know what will.
 
Cruise control died, I thought!
My mechanic attached his magic box to test all the circuits. Nada????
What????? and now it works, go figure.
Handed him a 50, he did some other checking as well.
Good man he is!!!!

That's such a cool looking little dog. Me and my wife have been toying around with the idea of getting a dog in the near future and I'm curious what breed she is.

Valley Animal Center said that she is a Chihuahua/Terrier mix when I adopted her. She looks more like a Labrahuahua to me. She has added a few pounds since these pics were taken and I have to have her on a diet to get her weight closer to what it was then. Hope you find what you're looking for. If you get one, please adopt from a shelter and save a life.

Cottonwood canyon. It's just south of mt Whitney. Usually we camp in the Bishop area but decided to change it up a little this time.

If you had been up here closer around the Shaver lake area, we could have met up and visited for while. I never quite get that far South. The last time I was in Bishop was 1972. Mammoth Lakes was fun. I really liked Convict Lake.

I had to look up wherr shaver lake is. I guess you're over by Yosemite then.
We're pretty far away on this trip and we usually do the east side of the Sierras but my wife has been buggin me to go to Yosemite. Maybe when we head up there we could meet up and do a little fishin'
 
Today I vanquished my childhood nemesis.............the small trout that live in the pond at the mount Whitney trailhead.
My grandparents first took me there when I was 9 years old and for 45 years of and on I've visited that spot and tried to catch one of those darn trout with no success.
Now I'm a pretty good fisherman and I seldom get skunked bit those particular trout were a tough nut to crack.
Well today I caught 3 of them in about an hour..............victory at last.
 
My new ride arrived today.
My faithful old mobility scooter has suffered some damage to the main, plastic, floor pan, and I reckon it would get much worse when loading / unloading into the 'Tin Tent' for airshows and other excursions, especially as I have to struggle to get it onboard, being quite heavy, as a single chassis part, even with the seat and battery removed.
So I've sold it on cheap to friend, and bought a more modern one, which comes apart and assembles very easily, with a 'Lift and Click' system, making it much easier to load, and more convenient all round. It's also got a longer range, and better ground clearance.

4 day weekend!!! Only drawback is for at least one of them I will be laying under the car doing repair work (AKA, cussing at it. Get your earplugs out neighbors). Need to replace side inner and outer tie rod ends, sway bar links, and control arms before having the tires replaced and a alignment on Saturday. Hopefully I can get it all done in one day.
 
Just heard from the game designer that the long awaited Wings of the Motherland module for the Fighting Wings series is proofed and heading to the printers!
 
One more week of work, and then my family and I leave the Gulf Coast behind. I have accepted a new position, and we are moving to St. Louis.

My time at my current company was great. It was fun, and they treated me well. I have no complaints, and will miss my coworkers and what I did here. The decision to move on was strictly personal, and what is best for my family and my children.
