Silver Linings!

First off. All you people from everywhere else in the country who see that fantastic scenery from Washington State, when the Hollywood film crews show up on July 8th to shoot their wonderful scenes. Keep in mind, its only a set!! Its not REAL!! So don't sell off everything and move up here because it looked great in that movie you watched!!! HAAA!!!

Only a few days until the month of APRIL and it is SNOWING in Washington!!!! In between a steady rain and wind!!! Its SPUUUUHRINGtime folks! Remember just a few days ago we were all counting down the days till Spring, so we could escape all that dreary, cold, stay cooped up in the house, weather?!!! Kinda makes one think, 'Hey! I bet they have gas tanker truck jobs in SAN DIEGO!!!'

I went out and rode my bike today.....like a nut of course!! But there WERE a couple other nuts around so I didn't feel too alone in my weirdness!! Mainly I went out to test my kewl new bike computer that I wasn't getting to work properly last weekend when I bought it. Got the problem solved and now I have a far more accurate idea of just how far my usual Chambers Bay route is. It came with a cost however......I GOT SOAKED IN THIS ENDLESS WASHINGTON RAIN!!! ( Rain pants Dale?...Nah....dont need no sissy rain pants, and I'm only gonna be out for one lap...I ain't wearing no danged sissy rain pants!") And I should say that WAS rain that had FROZEN CHUNKS in it!! Not to mention a brisk wind coming across the bay!!! OK where is the line...the long line of sympathetic people waiting to poor out wonderful, caring, supportive words?? ( Yeah supportive words....Now I have the tune, "Mrs Robinson" coursing through my brain....."Stroll around the grounds until you feel at home") ... Or maybe that should be "They're coming to take me away haha, they're coming to take me away hoho hehe haha...to the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds, and basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're coming to take me awayyyy HAHAAAA!!!!")

All kidding aside, I am SICK of this insufferable wet cold weather! The Pacific Northwest is great for slugs, umbrellas and people addicted to television!!!!! Come to think of it, I don't have a TV on this boat....and I don't have a fireplace either that I could toast my sock encased toes in front of! Heckwidit...I might just go to bed!

What was that, you ask, about "silver linings"?

Regarding the whining and crying about a few raindrops up there above, I couldn't very well mention silver linings with out clouds now could I?

So, silver lining for today: I had a chat with my friend in Wyoming this afternoon. Her pastor came through a concerning medical procedure with FLYING COLORS!!!! All clean and good to go...Now he only has to heal from all that invasive fiddling around the docs had to perform to make sure. But so much better than the alternative!!

So, High Fives and a Silver Lining to "Pastor S" today!!!!

Yep, I believe I mentioned something earlier about REAL wealth being Friends, Family and Good Health. ;)
