Bob Blocking My View.

Up an out by 9:30am for the 11am ferry. Got all the junk loaded and out the door with coffee infused madness.

22 cars (or car length units) and we were about 15 until two more trucks showed up. Trucks, trucks, and more trucks. Only four trucks got on, so they snagged a boat heading from Friday Harbor to Anacortes what was only half full.

So, not off the island at 11 (which was running late so it was 11:30), but more like noonish.

A thousand dollars worth of tires later (two front steering tires, 14-ply Michelin), a lovely lunch at the Greek Islands (lamb salad for me — ate half, half I had for dinner), and we are on the road at 2:30 for Seattle. Arrival time was 5pm, just in time for the news. And a drink.

Kept Bob running at 50-55mph and he seemed to like that. Tomorrow the hopeful buyer arrives in the afternoon. MoonSong will be doing a massive cleaning from 8 to whenever the guy from Flagstaff arrives.

Bob is parked out front, and that leads us to today’s picture:
