Well, we survived the most recent snow/ ice storm. Seemed kind of early for around here.
That is Loius passing by.



One thing that occurred to me is we like that the puppies are light colored for when it is dark/ or dusk out. They are a lot easier to see. Not so much so in the snow…

Suzi was at work planning on taking the bus home when the storm hit. I got an email cancelling the bus to Monroe that she was planning on taking. (bus turned out to be a victim of the icy roads in Seattle) So I put the camper on the truck and went to town…
This is what the house looked like when I left.


This is the driveway…


This is the drive to Monroe…


Overall it was an uneventful trip to Bellevue. We spent 2 nights in Joe’s driveway with our camper.

Joe did not fair so well. Every one is ok. But he was taking Carisha home from work down in Factoria, and even though Carisha and I told him not to go up Kamber road, he did… just as he was almost up the steepest part, The police car he passed turned on his blue lights. Joe thought he was being pulled over, took his foot off the gas, realized he would never get up the hill, so he hit the gas, oops he lost it, and did doughnuts all the way back down the hill… he pushed a suv that was in the street off of the street a bit, continued down, barely missed the cop car, and hit the curb with such force it is not drivable. Joe called me right away, and as the cop arrived at the van I heard him say “sir your vehicle is totaled” eeek
Runs good still, Washer fluid container was the only fluid victim. Door and hood still work. Soo…

Below: The white vehicle in the distance is the suv he hit.


On a side note, when Joe saw the suv in the morning he was shocked, it evidently got hit again after he had hit it. Too bad we did not think to have him take some pics…
