It's nice and hot here in the Pacific NW! It's about 90 degrees this afternoon here, but it should be cooling off soon.
I just had a nice conversation with my grandfather this afternoon. I had a dream last night with all four of my grandparents over at my house for a party. I was telling Grandpa that at one point in my dream, I was making him smell my sauerkraut (in awake life, he had been making apple cider vinegar, so that's the connection there). That dream also included coyotes and buffalo so I was definitely busy in my sleep last night.
I was also telling him about Canoe Journey, which starts on Monday. I'm getting packed this weekend and also, I am going to be sanding the cedar paddle that the skipper of the canoe (Ed) made for me yesterday:
Here's a map of where the Canoe Journey is going this year:
The route I am going on starts in Skokomish and it's a pink line out of the Hood Canal on the map. We will then join up with other canoes coming from other places and head out westward across the northern coast of WA to Neah Bay on the Makah Reservation.
I'll be going back to work for a few days in the middle of the journey (I wanted to have some vacation time left for a trip to MN). I'll be on the journey July 12-14 and 17-19. The 20th will be a (serious) rest day. It's supposed to be about 70 the whole time on the journey, so that is wonderful (not too hot).
