After my Yakima, Wa run, I stopped by my oldest sons place. He bought a bank owned and got it on the cheap, but it needs work. He spent 10 years in the trades and is very capable of taking care of business!
My Yakima trip:

Now did you know that if your drain for the washer is not up high, like it is in your place, the water will just run out, Mike learned it and ... fixed it.. while the laundry room is in work progress...
This is... was an open car port... the last opening was the garage door, Mike and I put it up in about 4 beers... GBG
Hey it works!
Ok, he still has a bit of work to do in the rain country...
Now here he is smiling about the pull down... he had his 7 year old daughter open the door, but couldn't close it... fixed! She can open it easily, it takes about 5 lbs of force to move it and it is balanced perfectly.... neither of us can figure out why it came out this good... but it's perfect! I'll take luck over skill any day!
This was the garage door, we took all the hardware from here and moved it over.
Mike's dog Rex, great dog! 
Before I woke up Tues, this wall was covered.. now it has faucets and water for the washer, connect the drain, cover the walls and done! AND it did NOT leak!They can use plastic up there, and it's a breeze! I won't say I could do it, as I'm cursed with water... 
The power panel, .... work in progress... 
Had to get a couple pics... Samshel
And Wyatt. He's getting so big! Enjoy... soon they'll be 31 years old! It DOES happen!
It was great fun working with Mike and spending the time. I was worried I'd be wasting his time by being there and keeping him from getting things done...
By golly, we got a lot of things done and I had a GREAT time!!! Thanks!!! The best visit I could've imagined! Thanks! Dad

Mom's Day '10 and a visit to KC's was in order! Amy had school so we got off a little late Friday, not much and got up to Boom Town about 5:30 PM.
Registered and out to KC's we went. 
We took Who Dog and he talked to us most the way up...
Gettin' some rest by mom.... Amy and Who stayed at KC's, don't think the motel would like it if he stayed in our room! 
The plan on Saturday was a big cook up for lunch for mom. Chicken, steak, veggies, strawberries and ice cream. Great stuff! 
It was a pretty nice day and we were outside enjoying it!
KC put his old kitchen stuff in the "dog house", I can imagine a microwave, TV, keg on the right, window AC on the left... man cave time! GBG
Lady trying to get lucky....
I was surprised at Who, he got right out there and played with the others.
Even got into barking at them!
OK, I was impressed with the room... they must be hurting if they give these rooms to folks like us with discounts! Real big / thick head boards, pillow top mattresses were plush!! 
That was at least a 36" flat screen, maybe larger!
The tile around the mirror was very nice. They used tables instead of cabinets for storage, kinda nice and the wood looked good.
Another shot... taking this pic was hard as I had to stand outside and focusing didn't work well....
See thru door refer...
And a safe! Comforting... I think...
Nice full length mirror....
On the way to KC's Sunday morning, Mike and family called to wish a great day and mom got to chat with all.. she was so excited she forgot to wish Nisel happy Moms day! This was kinda a papa's day too! I got to go along, eat a LOT of great food and didn't even have to clean up!!! GBGWell, what to do on Sunday before going home... eat of course! BIG breakfast coming right up! Bacon and lots of it, waffles, eggs, cottage tators with onion and peppers, real good stuff! Amy gets the griddle...
Mom and KC yakking...
Everyone at their stations! GBG
Mom and Who Dog doing their part.
OK, it's a VROC Thing, taking pics of food... here is the finished product and it was great! My plate and I ate tooooo much!
Can't just take one pic...
I was late getting to KC!
We agreed... they did use every pot and pan and utensil!!! Well we had to do something afterward to work it off and get Who some exercise for the ride home and hopefully settle him down a bit...
A little over a mile from KC's is country! Great place for the dogs to run!
Lots of flowers blooming, they had a wet winter!
The dogs were all over and Who was right with 'um!
KC and Kristi gave mom a Snail and mom put it out by the wheel barrel she was given earlier! It was a great week end and I'm glad all had a great time! It would have been nice if Mike and family could've been there.. someday!
