September 1 2024 Roots festival, Cloud Café neighbors, and pilates

Image
  The annual roots celebration at the park across from the house.  Spring rolls at cloud cafe Dry crunchy noodles  Spicy beef pho.  I like the soup.  Coffee and a gluten free oatmeal cookie at Fresh flours.   A nice time with the neighbors.  We stayed until dark.   The end of the night with dancing at Century.   

August 31 2024 More yard work, beginning or an end

Image
  More yard work.  This time with rock. I signed the extension for the renton lot.  It finally has a closing date.   I think it will  close, but right before we go off on another trip.  It is a beginning of an end, and also the opening of doors for tomorrow. 

August 30 2024 hot pilates and yoga, and autobiography of a yogi, yard work

Image
  More yard work, pilates.   A balanced day of work on the body, work for the household, and work on the soul.   The book, Autobiography of an Yogi has been very interesting. It describes his experiences with the divine.  I am not quite sure I believe it, but it is interesting that the ideas expressed in the book are found in very mainstream science fiction. 

August 29 2024 Hot Pilates and more yard work

 Hot Pilates  at noon, after cleaning up apartment, and before going to work on landscape project.   Again I was tired.   Jorge arrived late that night.  We stayed up a bit and drank some wine.  It is nice getting caught up with his adventures.  

August 28 2024 Walk along the beach and looking at old photos

Image
  Lots of people bird watching today.  We saw some birds  We took a long walk on the beach.  The beaches  I found this small picture in a small frame of us at our wedding.  I didn't remember fumiko putting it in the frame, but I remember the picture and the time.  Fumiko was barefoot and pregnant.  I would like to recreate this photo today.  We should look as happy now was we did then.  

August 27 2024 Whideby Island

Image
  Portland Loo in Oak Harbor  The Airplane museum in oak harbor  It is a utility cover, not a manhole cover.  Fumiko has been taking pictures of manhole covers of interesting design.  I am not sure about the facebook career.  Nice sculpture in the park at the sewer plant.  Bad ramen at a teriyaki shop.  Remind me not to order ramen at a place that sells other things.  Only go to a shop that serves ramen.   Finally we recreated the picture of Jensen from  Supernatural.  I am an older man on a newer model impla.   This is the phot we were recreating
