Not much going on lately. Weather has cooled considerably this past week. First rain in 29 days.
Getting ready to head for San Francisco tomorrow. It's our annual vacation with a grandchild. Last year we took Austin to the Grand Canyon. The year before I took Nick to Misouri to visit Uncle Bud and Aunt Nada. Next year we may take a couple of the girls to Cal. In September, we're going east to Independence, Mo to visit the uncle again. He turns 86 this year. We weren't able to go last year because of the high price of gas. We're going to go in the motorhome.
I'm hoping to get my motorcycle into the shop after we get back from San Fran. I need to have them check the starter/electrical system to see if they can figure out why it's so hard to start. I think the starter cranks too slow to provide a strong spark.
Talk to you soon.

Just another day in paradise
It has been HOT! Earlier this week it was 107 degrees. I think I believe in global warming. I am one of the official photographers at the museum and I had to shut down the flight deck photos when it reached 90 in the Spruce Goose. We're supposed to cool off next week to the mid 80's.
We got a new plane! Actually 2 planes. A Mig 21 came in three weeks ago and a 747-100 landed at the McMinville airport last week. They moved it across the street and parked it in front of the I-Max theatre and removed the engines. It's BIG! Hopefully they will let the volunteers go through it soon. I want to see the cockpit.
Me and the beloved are planning to go to San Fran later this month with our 9 yr old granddaughter for a week. We take one of them each summer to a place of their choice. Last year we went to the Grand Canyon with Austin. The year before we went to San Diego with Nick and went to the Zoo and Sea World. Also checked out the San Diego Air Museum. Not bad. Lots of old aircraft. Too crowded though. Lots of diaramas. I still think we have the best Air museum on the west coast.
Later, in Sept. we're going to Missouri to visit my Aunt and Uncle in Independence. He's going to turn 86 this year and I want to see him before it's too late. He's in good health, but 86 is pushing the envelope a little.
All for now.
