Golf – First to Last
Posted in Golf on 2-Jun-2008
Well, no repeat of last year’s win in the Ron Lee Invitational Golf Tournament at Mt. Si. I finished dead last. My partner and I played so-so on Saturday and poorly today. I was cruising along with four pars on the front nine when I ran into a little bump: a big fat 10 on number 7. Oh and that 8 on hole 16. At least the weather was nice–by Northwest standards:. 60 degrees and overcast. There’s always next year.

Ughh! Just bought gas at $4.139 a gallon. That’s up about twenty cents since Saturday. I bet gas will be $5/gal. by July 4th.
Golf – Memorial Day at Mt. Si
Posted in Golf on 27-May-2008
Mt. Si (white tees); teed off at 3:35. Shot a shakey 50 on the front (featuring an 8 on #1 and a 9 on #7). Rebounded with a 40 on the back nine. Could have been better except for that missed par putt from 2 feet on #17. Only hit 5 fairways.
Memorial Day weekend
Posted in Around the house on 27-May-2008
Yard work all day Sunday: cut grass, weeding, edging. Plants look great this year now that the elk fence is up. Cooked burgers over the grill for the first time this year. More weeding on Monday; Trisha weeded flagstones on patio. Golf in the late afternoon.
Travel back to WA from New Mexico
Posted in Travel on 25-May-2008
Wake up at 5:30 a.m. for return flight Albuquerque to Seattle. Arrived pretty much on time and took limo back to North Bend. A glorious day in Washington, temp in 70’s. Good to be home after ten days travelling. Grass is at least 6 inches high.
New Mexico trip – Durango to Albuquerque
Posted in Photo albums, Travel on 24-May-2008
Long drive back to Albuquerque (215 miles). Cold morning leaving Durango and hit snow for a while about two hours outside of Albuquerque. Visited the Petroglyph National Monument on the outskits of town and stopped by the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. We had hoped to have dinner at the High Finance restaurant atop Sandia Peak overlooking Albuquerque but high winds closed the tram for the evening. We settled for a nice steakhouse (The Cooperage) where Trisha has steak and shimp scampi and I did steak and crab legs. Of course, there was a successful hunt for Baskin-Robbins after dinner.

New Mexico trip – Mesa Verde Natl Park
Posted in Travel on 22-May-2008
Drove from Durango, CO 50 miles west to Mesa Verde National Park. Wow! What a place. Dozens of elaborate cliff dwellings nestled into the mesa and canyon walls at over 7,000 feet. We took the guided walking tour to the fabulous Cliff Palace site.
By the way, you get to this place from above down a hundred or so steps from the left then back up (on the far right of the photo) via wooden ladders and thousand-year old steps and hand-holds hewn into the rocks by the Ancient Pueblan indians. It’s a pretty thrilling little walk.

In Durango, we stayed at the Doubletree Hotel in a comfy corner room with a patio overlooking the Animas River.
