Today was Jianna's first day in first grade. Yada yada yada...

A couple of weekends ago I took my bike (Roseanne) up highway 9 to Sumas. I stopped in Stanwood on the way up there and had lunch with Michael. We stayed at Janae's Dad's place. It was Janae', Jianna, Erik Val, Desi and me. It was pretty fun. We made a couple trips up the mountain at the end of Mt. Baker HWY. We did some hiking around, it was nice! You could see Mount Baker, the Glacier, and where the Nooksak River starts. On Sunday I went and did some target shooting with the Eliasen's. It's been years since I've shot anything. I also decided to climb out to the edge of the Nooksak Falls. I fell off and died! Well, I guess not. I love Mountains, rivers, friends, Family, Motorcycles...I think I would do it again!

Check out Jiannas video and leave a comment. Also, try the desert she teaches you how to make. It's good.

This is pretty cool. It's like there are people out there being payed to remember fun things from my past.

BE BACK SOON. MY LAPTOP IS BROKEN SO I WILL BE BACK SOON.

This is the guy that has figured out what engineers have been trying to figure out for decades. Leave it to us regular guys to figure things out!

We recently filled the ditch in front of our house. Laid pipe and filled with rock. We built a small retaining wall across the front yard and put down gravel. Also, last year we cut down some trees that were dropping sap all over the cars. We flattened out that area and filled it with gravel...boat parking! We still have a little more work to do with the project but it's coming along nicely.

‘THE SAME ILLUTIONS’

5/2/02

A RUSSLE IN THE TREES,

FROM A COOL BREEZE,

AND IT BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES.

THE SAME ILLUSIONS,

FILL MY MIND,

I LOOK INSIDE,

SHARE WHAT I FIND.

NOW COME AWAY,

MY FAIREST FOE,

ENJOY THE STAY,

DON’T LET IT SHOW.

THE SAME ILLUSIONS,

CHOOSE YOUR PATH,

IT DID NOT PASS,

NOR DID IT LAST.

I FOUND IN YOU,

ANOTHER ME,

I DID NOT HEAR,

AND WOULDN’T SEE.

THE SAME ILLUSIONS,

FORM MY SOUL,

THEY SHAPE AND MOLD,

THEY BEND AND ROLL.

DO YOU SEE IN MY EYES,

I BELIEVE,

AND IT’S MINE?

THE SAME ILLUSIONS,

PAY OUR BILLS,

ENDULGE OUR THRILLS,

CREATE OUR WILLS.

EMOTIONS STIFFLED,

PUT TO REST,

AN EMOTION RIFFLED,

ENVOKES THE BEST.

BUT A DARKER SIDE,

AGAIN IS SHOWN,

IT TRY’S TO FIND,

THE TRUTH,

       UNKNOWN.

DEPRESS, REPRESS,

A SOUL THAT’S HAD NO REST.

THE SAME ILLUSIONS,

FILL MY EYE’S,

THEY’RE DELUSIONS,

THAT MAKE ME BLIND.

REPRESS THE DELUSIONS,

FIND THE TRUTH,

FIND THE IDEAS,

THAT TRY TO ELUDE.

THE SAME ILLUSIONS,

BRING AN END,

THEY SHAPE AND MOLD,

THEY ROLL AND BEND.

I Love Snow
