Hotel Bellwether Bellingham

That is my first job in Vancouver and I am still emloyed to the end of October and then I will be layed off, because there are not that many people who want to rent a motorhome in the middle of the wintertime;-)
Soooooo, Kohle is looking for a new job=)

... to get a larger prop however and at the previous idle setting on the diesel that meant a minimum motor speed of 4.5 knots. Scary fast in a crowded marina.A bit of adjustment and I managed to get the idle low enough that I can now idle at 2.5 knots and that is a lot better.

We left Colony and headed for the tie in Fairhaven for a few days. The day started poorly when the Perkins refused to fire up. Ashley's dad ...

... much right where she should sit. I will try drilling and tapping new holes on Thuresday. Once this engine is aligned Silver Lining can float. Ashley put the vinal decals on the stern and the boat looks awefully nice now. The pictures are almost better than reality. Click here to see some random photos: Boat Pics

... We exchanged e-mail addresses promising to communicate and follow up on each others conquests and exploits. You never know how famous they'll become. Reminds us of our trip to Hawaii where we met a nice young lady doing the hoola dance at the Royal Hawaiian hotel. After the applause she introduced herself, sat at our table at every break, wrote a poem (in Hawaiian) and her address on a PINK napkin and even gave us a huge official ...

... but there is no use for them now for him, so there was no reason to keep many things. "Moving out" of my own place, there were a few key people telling me to get rid of things and helping me out. I was glad I was able to assit Berk in the same way, and know I will be better at purging my unnecessary belongings along the way from now on.

... one place! Plus, it turns out the president of Grizzly likes to build guitars, so they also have kits and supplies for luthiers. I think Kelsey and Mike may try to build a mandolin from one of their kits. We spent the afternoon washing clothes, swimming, and eating up the leftovers in our little fridge. And I got us repacked and reorganized, since tomorrow we'll be turning in the car after we get to Seattle.

... warm in those freezing temperatures. Tell you what though, some girls might think they've got cellulite issues but you should see these guys! Dimples the size of watermelons!! Following that I went for a jaunt around a small area of the park, looking at some traditional indian totem poles and then headed back to the hostel. One good things is that the sun it out until about 9:30 at night so you can be out for ages and not worry about it ...

El clima te hace humilde, la lluvia, la humedad y el frio terminaron derrotandome, Victoria es linda si, pero el clima de hoy en definitiva me enseño, caminé, hubo un instante donde absolutamente empapado comence a sentir que los pomulos dejaban de sentirse, me descubri a mitad de la calle haciendo muecas experimentando con los diferentes grados de adormilamiento que tenía en el rostro, caminé apurado unas 3 cuadras ...

And where is home, you ask? Depending on when you catch me, the answer may be Vancouver, or it may be Calgary. Usually it depends on what I am missing at the moment! Anyway, I arrived in Van almost a week ago, and time has flown by as usual. After recovering from jet lag, I did all the things I love about home: hanging out with friends and my Mom, shopping, getting my nails done, going dancing, eating great food...what more could a ...

... favourite DJ (and former hostel employee and friend) Mr Boo AKA DJ Lame Old Man AKA Mark played (funk, soul and hip hop), and I was buddies with the bar guy, Todd. Plus, its just across the road. And they have pool tables (I'm becoming a pool shark, kinda). Sadly, both Mark ('I get asked for too much Top 40 stuff') and Todd quit, so its not so good anymore. We still go though. 10) Easter weekend is OK, but not great without proper Dairy Milk. On the Friday everyone got the day ...
