Morning all. I'll rewarm that pot.
Well, we've had an interesting past couple of days here. The weather can't decide if it wants to be sunny and 90, or cloudy and 85. Not much variance there.
But at night, it gets down around 40 or less. A couple days ago some friends up on a hill had to break the ice out of their chicken water.
Now my biggest news. I'm going to be publishing my first ebook through Amazon here in the next month. It's not very long, but it is "The Illustrated Pocket Guide to Surviving the Cascade Mountains." The title pretty much explains it.
Right now all I have to do is some final editing, then finish the photography. I'll crow loud and long when it's done.
And the other thing. My mom and I went out "hunting" yesterday (she can't walk much, so we do a lot of driving slowly along old back roads). We were about 15 miles from the nearest town when all of the sudden, the car just died. No warning, just cut out and wouldn't start. We lucked out and managed to be in the only stretch of road for miles that had cell reception, so we got out in about three hours, but the car was still stuck there. And my dad was 100 miles away for work.
Once my dad got home, we all piled into my truck with a tow strap and headed out there. Then I towed our car for 15 miles from the middle of no place to the elementary school in that town on the end of a tow strap. At 3 mph. and 9pm. It took a while.
But now my mom has to use my truck to get to the city to get my sister to school. And I'm stuck without transportation.
In other news, I start the paper work on my new Ruger today.
