I thought I would start things off with a photo of myself doing the Ricky Bobby, aka, I don’t know what to do with my hands…. We spent some time exploring Bellevue downtown park. I have never been to NYC, but based on images alone, Bellevue park felt a lot like Central park to me. … Read More
This morning I helped out Dan again, we poured concrete and built up his retaining wall. The work was not easy, but it most definitely was rewarding. My mind has been scattered lately, trying to figure out what to do with my Tacoma. I have never missed a payment, despite my lack of steady employment. … Read More

Last week I left off my story at the local gas station, with an ice cream and a tea. I headed towards Highway 101 from just outside of Long Beach, Washington. If you have never experienced the beauty of Highway 101, then I apologize for not stopping and taking photos. Over the years I have traveled … Read More
Last week a friend of mine asked me if I would come diagnose/fix his school bus. Diesel Mechanic and electrician are just two of the many skills that I possess. Being my own boss gives me the liberty to take out of town jobs, and gives me the opportunity to catch up with friends whom … Read More
