Random Stuff

We don't venture out everyday so Patrick gets his school work done and I help Tom with projects and Becky has been crocheting coffee cup cozies and making sparkly things to hang on the awning and entertain Richie's girls. She is happy playing with them and helping them make things not something that she gets to do that often in a house of men.
We are serenaded by the F/A 18 Growler, the plane that took the place of the EA-6 Growler, that provides electronic countermeasures to the Navy fleet. The Law house is right beside the navy base and we get to watch and listen to the jets come and go.
They circle around doing touch and gos with the flaps up, gear down and full power on.

 One of the projects that I helped Tom with is getting this Formula V back together and running. He had most of it done when I started helping him and he traded it for a nice little Bayliner boat. We also worked on dirt bikes, ATVs and whatever else needed a little tinkering. He has lots and lots of projects.


 One Sunday we toured Whidbey Island and stopped in a lot of neat little places. These pictures are from Coupeville. They have a long pier with a building at the end of it with some shops and restaurant. There is also a public dock. Looking back at land, you can see lots of old buildings that are now a tourist trap. They have a very nice wine store with nothing but wines from the state of Washington.
