that's really cool how you remember the people you built homes for!

the name doesn't ring a bell but there was a lumber yard behind hockmans hardware and the commercial bank..

whidbey island 2004, spent quite a bit of time around pudget on various security missions..

pictures of me not by me - just don't tell Eric

Yet, I can't remember where my coffee cup is.

I took these a few weeks ago. I got up early and went down to the pier. Lots of people go to watch the sun rise.

If I recall correctly, I took this picture near the north end of Whidbey Island in June, 2002.

Looks like its at Deception Pass. There was construction on the bridge and the side your picture is from was nearly totally blocked.

Deception Pass it was! Here's a shot looking the opposite way (west). We spent almost a week camping at South Whidbey Island State Park. Our son was co-oping in Everett for the summer.

EDIT: This is from the campground website.
"CAMPSITE INFORMATION
South Whidbey State Park is open for day use only. Due to hazardous trees in the old-growth forest, the campground area is closed indefinitely. Camping is available at nearby Fort Casey and Fort Ebey state parks."

Same trip. Washington is a gorgeous state!

Don't know how "random" this picture is but I did take it (deliberately!).

Looking straight east towards the NE corner of my property and across the north end of the adjoining 20 acres that we are buying, where the butthead that lives in a shed up at the end of those powerlines started to build a fence Not On His Property late last winter:

**special-K** · 09-29-2020, 03:33 PM

Very pleasant view.

Curios , what does land per acre cost in those parts of the world ????

This piece has a well with a hand pump and a driveway already put in, up on the upper side of the road with the trees. We're paying $40K for the 20 acres.

So it's a premium for the small size tract and the improvements. Some quarter sections are going for about $1000/acre.

Asking price was within reason so I wasn't going to argue. Mostly we're buying the place to keep somebody else from buying it and building another house right next to us.

Maybe we should put a tiny house up there and charge $250/night on AirBnb

...with a nice, big bay window overlooking the guy. And it'll have one-way glass.

You can put out an ad for, "I froze my butt off in a tiny cottage in the Dakotas", and I'll bet you would get some takers. Just be sure to screen them so you don't get a unabomber or whatever he was called.

I like to take sunset pictures. This time my truck got in the way.

**special-K** · 10-06-2020, 09:30 PM

Very nice. That Arizona Sky

Airport at Nehalem Bay State Park. Most planes fly over the runway to scare off deer and elk before landing. A few planes have hit them over the years.

**HO455** · 10-08-2020, 02:36 PM

Sunrise yesterday just 15 minutes before we got socked in by fog. At that point you couldn't even see the bridge.

That's a great picture.

Please forgive me, but I certainly did not take these photos, but wanted to share, and couldn't think of any other photo threads to look for. Pretty slick idea well executed, if you ask me!

That's one nice looking slice of pizza! The white-ish is mozzarella, right? I had grilled chicken thighs and a green salad. No pics, it's all been shoved down the hatch.
