We had a big day today. Went to B-fast at "The Udder Place". Good food. Lot's of fire fighters in town. They brought in some prisoners (fire fighting ones) to eat just as we were leaving. We attempted to put up a railing around the deck.......but it proved too big a challenge. Instead we went to Wal-Mart and bought a plastic shed to store our tools and stuff. Also installed a new fold down computer table.

We had a nice drive over. I slept thru Blewitt pass. Took pictures with my camera Cell phone of Ron driving.....then sent them to my freind Jim's home comuter in Pacifica Calif. All done while moving down the road! Amazing technology. It is now getting dark and it is somewhat chilly outside. Night hawks are flying all around us. Crickets are loud. Mariners lost.

We hope to see Mars in the Southern sky. It is at it's closest point to Earth in 50,000 years. It will be our last chance to witness its splendor at this close distance . It is our Mother Planet. Where we came from. Also hope to see the Northern lights. We are at the height of the Solar flare cycle. A few years back we saw them. Should be a fun trip. Maybe I can talk Ron into going to the Kettle Falls Reggae festivus. NO CAMPFIRES the Captain says! It is dry and Hot in the Tonasket Valley.
