Halloween is tomorrow and so I snapped a few pictures of the decorations at Big Tom's. The pictures are kinda creepy, but then...what would one expect?
We arrived back in Olympia Sunday evening after a solid four day drive from Fort Myers Florida. It's nice to not be driving for a change. The house that we're buying has been inspected for pests, and except for a minor fixable bug infestation, is looking ship shape.
The paint job on the plane is coming to an end. So in a week or so, we will be making a trip to Eugene to retrieve all the parts. Then we will (with the help of our EAA friends) begin the final assembly in Puyallup. Here is a sneak peek at the painting process. The blue lines mark where the red paint will go.
My pickup must have been feeling neglected, because when I took it for a drive (after a month of inactivity) it decided to quit on me. Now it's getting some expensive attention. The picture below reflects my state of mind upon hearing the cost of repairs. I'm hoping the skin condition will clear up.
I'll have more pictures of the house to share as time goes by. Here is the kitchen for now.
Anh has been making her lists and refining them ever since our offer was accepted. We were advised not to plant anything new until March, and then only if we have adequate irrigation to the plants. So this should give me a few months to do all the clearing and irrigation work. Also she wants a greenhouse and hydroponic setup like our friend Michael's. She also wants an outdoor cooking station. This may take some planning to do a good job. So much for a life of leisure.
This next month will no doubt fly by with all the work on the plane and preparation for a move of our stuff to Florida.
Our drive West was mostly blue skies until we approached Boise. Here is a shot taken in Oregon. We had nothing but rain from Boise to Olympia. It makes me homesick for Florida.
