What I Did Last Summer


Today I feel like a slug. So I figured I’d write down what I did this last summer. Here goes nothing!

1. Sue and I flew to San Diego with Chief for a VHA conference, got to meet Astronaut 
     Jim Lovell and NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz during a tour/reception on the USS 
     Midway.
2. I had the privilege of rebuilding a dead desktop and a dead laptop PC for a good family.
3. Kelsi and I drove to Los Angeles with Kelsi for her College Internship with Dana and 
     Suzanne.
4. I flew home with Chief from Los Angeles.
5. Chief and I flew to Los Angeles to pick Kelsi up and drive back home.
6. On the drive back we visited Sequoia National Forest, Mount Shasta Caverns, Crater 
     Lake, and Multnomah Falls.
7. I refit the sailboat inside and topside, and it came out pretty neat!
8. My brother Ron and I visited Mount St Helens.
9. Ron and I sailed around Bainbridge Island, Vashon Island, and Blake Island in three 
     days.
10. Learned how to crab in Puget Sound.
11. Sue and I spent 8 days vacationing on Hood Canal with Chief and some very dear 
     friends who were kind enough to let us into their family time. Man it felt really nice to 
     be a part of a large family.
12. I rebuilt two marine outboard motors and reconditioned an inflatable dinghy.
13. Chief and I sailed from Port Orchard to the terminal end of the Hood Canal stopping 
     at Kingston, The Kitsap Memorial, Pleasant Harbor, and the Alderbrook Inn.
14. Chief and I went to a KC and the Sunshine Band concert and fund raiser with Susan.
15. Chief and I sailed to Seattle and back in an afternoon.
16. I kept up with my blog and started two new ones, one for me, and another for a 
     bunch of friends.

I'm sure I missed something that I did last Summer, but the real point of this exercise was to list what I did, so I didn't feel so much like a slug!
Campy out
