Washington!

[learnteach]

Left Vancouver at about 10:30, after Grendel gave me a great breakfast (mushroom garlic onion omlette) and a shield for the Penguin Crusader. Checked the map, packed the bike, and then discovered a little sword (metal scrap) and spear for him in the rustbin out the garage door. Grendel and Kat went off to pick up Krysta; I headed N on 405.

Cold. Clouds moving over, in squall lines. Gusting winds on the freeway. Grabbed coffee twice, then gave up and put on the rain gear. As I was pulling out of the rest station, the rain hit. Gear worked fine. Vest not too hot. Pants survivable. I look like a Michelin man, but am warm. Rolled north.

Rain. Wind. Clear. Rain. 20 miles south of Seattle/Tacoma, traffic hits. Follow the directions to 6th ave SW, when the street is 6 ave W. Only ..40? miles different. Hail and rain (light) in the parking lot.

Seattle is green, green green...and I parked the bike and found Vic's (where I'm about to crash) just as the thunderstorm started. Got inside. Wind ripped branches from trees, killed power...

and I was inside drinking cocoa! Vita bonam est. Good dinner, (why was Jesus loved by the ladies?) and coffee with Fiach later, he was looking great.

Yes, you disbelievers, I am having fun, but it's more relaxation. ANd now, making Z/s!

G'night.

Blustery goodness! I'm glad the raingear works well and is not overwarm. Grand adventuring, indeed.

Glad you're having a fun & relaxing trip... going out in Da Country always helps me with the Brain Drain, and never fails to put a smile on my face.

Enjoy!!!

Hey there! It is good to know you are relaxing some. Guess it's better than Santa Cruz, eh? You seem happy - I am very glad. It's about time, I say! Best wishes, the beer buying, ice carrying domestic goddess & her kid.
