And………………….Back To Summer, Maybe ?
The Cafe’s first two weeks after the build is experiencing record sales, and support from the community is very encouraging.
While the staff are settling in at the cafe, I decided to check out the spit for interesting sights.
First, here’s a Land Cruiser on steroids. A German outfit takes your basic Toyota Land Cruiser and turns it into an Echo Tourism Tank. 
Then there’s the Marine version of motorcycle touring in retirement. Note, the Marine wisely chose a tricycle for the base unit.
I didn’t get to talk with the owner, but there is a lot going on there.
Back home Earl is trying on his new personal flotation device that he got for our upcoming cruise.
This boy just looks good no matter how his partner dresses him.
The weather is now perfect (almost) for tomatoes. At 5:00 am this morning the temperature was 52 with a high forecast to be 52 (not a typo). At 4:00 pm today it was 58. Typical of NWS.
All y’all stay cool.
So far I've reached acceptable proficiency at the following, in chronological order: Silversmith, infantryman/door gunner, helicopter pilot, fireman, carpenter, residential contractor, FAA Air Traffic Control Specialist and crotchety old retired guy. Currently, I'm learning to fly again and that is what this is all about. 7/7/2020 edit: As I have had the opportunity to reflect (old people do that a lot) on my actual proficiency level at the above occupations, I feel adjustments are in order. The term "acceptable" depends on the observer, their own proficiency and experience level. Acceptable to me might be woefully deficient to the master. I think it would be more accurate to claim that I have earned a living wage at all of these occupations but never got rich. Actually, I feel that I have gotten rich at the last one. I have what I need and am profoundly grateful for all of it. The future looks bright indeed, as I have learned to fly again. For that I have all of you to thank. Thank You!
