This one was kinda cool. 

There where some great pilots doing some great stuff 

I spent the Sunday May long week-end shooting the skydivers here for the annual May event. Here are a few samples 

It's Saturday morning here at the Loops and all is quiet. I have just risen from slumber and looked through a few pictures sent to us by my daughter Jessica. Most are of my new grandson Xavier. This one is my favorite.  

A beautiful chair a beautiful girl. 

She done good eh mom? 

What a beautiful chair 

My daughter brought home her shop project today. It is wonderful chair you see holding her up 

This guy loved the smell of Jackie's gloves 

Just some wire and a tree 

A little shy 

Jackie and I rode home from her work in Valleyview. It is about 40k return. We stopped in the Rez and had a little visit with the horses. They have quite the personality 

The river is rising, muddy and brown. Way up high all by himself stood this big old canada goose. Standing in the shadows of the bridge he watches over the river. 

I was invited to Kristine's School to do a cooking demo. I had a ball doing Mushroom meatballs and egg noodles. I think the kids enjoyed the lesson. I was amazed here I was first day of school and here I was teaching the class :-} 

My daughter Kristine took this picture using my sunglasses over the lens of a little 2 megapixel Lumix.  

I caught this shot cycling to work in the spring of 02 I call it "Misty Morning" 

A groovy little shot from a upside view 

This is the view on my journey home. it is 10 km of river scenery 

Oh that Linux

I have been on the hunt the last few days to find a free Linux distribution that will work on my laptop. So far Mepis is the most promising. It is a live boot CD that can be installed to the hard drive. It would seem that Linux uses it's own language. And has a different ways of doing simple things like downloading programs and installing them. It comes as a distibution rather than just an OS, translation being when you install a linux distribution you get all the software you could ever need. Including a full office suite. Multimedia programs. The list is huge. If you have an old system that you want to breathe new life into try a small distro like BeatriX or Dam Small Linux or perhaps Puppy Linux. All these and more can be found for free at www.linux.org

My buddy Bob showed up today and stopped in for awhile. We only had a few minutes to visit as he was going to Castlegar but it was great to see him again. We go way back 20 years or so. He was my best man, twice
