Muddy quad

While I was working on the Sprint, I noticed that several tires were flat on the ATV. It hasn’t really been used all year because when we started on the garage, it sat outside and the battery went dead. So …

Collingwood Inn

Collingwood Inn

The Collingwood Inn recently got a new paint job so I thought it would be good to take some pictures of it during Christmas. Missed a great sunset on the 29th, but at least it wasn’t raining.

Even as much as Lori loves her Macintosh, I don’t think she understands this recent purchase of mine. As I mentioned earlier, I have a bit of a computer museum going on in my garage. Starting with my Commodore 64, …

A Lousy Tradition

Knowlesville Posted on December 26, 2006 by MattMay 31, 2019
Flooding

I would have liked to spent today’s entry telling you about the nice Christmas we had. But in what has unfortunately become a day after Christmas tradition around here, our yard once again became a dumping ground for Williams Creek. …

Keeping it lit

Knowlesville Posted on December 24, 2006 by MattMay 31, 2019
Christmas Lights

This year we seemed to have endless trouble keeping our Christmas lights lit. It seemed on any one night either the damp conditions would cause the GFI circuit breaker to trip, or the timer would malfunction and wouldn’t turn the …

Lighted Tractor Parade

Last night was Ferndale’s Lighted Tractor Parade, one of my favorite Ferndale events. Lot of entries this year and it was nice to see the Leonardi’s back in the fray after a year’s absence. Bansen’s brought their train back to …

Modern Safety

Knowlesville Posted on December 17, 2006 by MattMay 31, 2019
SUV Rollover

A current thought in automotive safety is that vehicles are getting so safe that drivers feel too comfortable doing things in their vehicles other than driving. Case in point is this accident. I can’t say what was going on in …

Damaged greenhouse

When we were assembling our green house this summer, one concern we had was how it would survive our winter storms. Apparently, not well. The windows are plastic sheets that are held in with little wire clips and it doesn’t …

Here’s Matt desicating the countryside in the name of decorating the home for the holidays. Althought it looks like he’s trying to hide his identity, he did have a valid permit for this endeavor. For only ten dollars you can …

Something Ferny Going On

Knowlesville Posted on December 10, 2006 by MattMay 31, 2019
Fern growing on truck

Maybe this is why they called it Ferndale? They say a rolling stone gathers no moss, but apparently a rolling 4×4 can gather a few ferns. Found this vehicle in the Ferndale parking lot.

When I got up this morning it looked like it was going to be a nice sunrise. I pondered for a few minutes whether I should run to work and grab the camera and then go out to Fernbridge to …

Moon over the Gingerbread

Looking on the calendar I saw we had a full moon coming up so with the clear weather that we’ve been enjoying, I thought I would get a photo of the moon rising behind the Gingerbread. Only problem was it …

Putting the star up

First Sunday in December means it’s time to put the lights up on the town Christmas tree. This year we were blessed with pretty good weather for the task. No rain, and the temperature wasn’t too bad either for an …

Walking down the street to the post office this morning Engine 2 went by. Looks like Company 2 has a new recruit. I guess Santa’s getting tired of all that cold and wanted a job with action on more than …

After 5 years of faithful service, my first digital SLR, this Fuji S1 Pro, died a quiet death. All it could say was ERR on the display. Researching it on the web, it seemed a common way for it to …

The rain continued, rather heavy at times, so once again photo ops were limited. We did stop at one spot for a hike down to some very scenic bluffs. In between rain squalls I was able to take a few …

T-Rex and Lori

Today we continued our drive down the Oregon coast. It rained most of the day so it wasn’t too conducive to taking pictures. Towards the end of the day we passed Prehistoric Gardens. Lori was surprised to see it still …

Uncle Dave's property

Well, actually it’s a double wide, but the setting is so nice you don’t really notice. On our way out of Woodinville, we crossed the sound to visit Lori’s uncle in Lilliwaup. How nice it must be to have your …

Lori, Michael & Melody

Thanksgiving was spent in Woodinville, at the Hoopers. My camera’s batteries were charging while everyone was enjoying a scrumptious feast, and since I knew others were taking photos too I didn’t worry about it. So this isn’t what I’d call …

Melaine was back in town again, and we decided to dress her up as a pirate once again since I found the eye patch I had bought earlier. I’m thinking now that this is the start of a four part …

Halloween morning in Ferndale sees a procession of tiny kids making their way through the commercial district trick or treating. First in line was Raggedy Ann and it was nice seeing a few parents are still into making costumes.
