Busy Weekend

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Started out my Saturday at the Wooden Boat Festival on Lake Union.  On the way there, the Beetle got unhappy, so he ended up parked the whole weekend, which left me limited to activities within scooter range, so no vintage car races.  That’s OK, the zombies were out in force in FremontChildren zombies, bride zombies, lady zombies, dude zombies,  and of course,  zombie-fighters.

Sunday was 4th of July fireworks at Gasworks Park.  The day started out nice enough, I went kayaking without incident, but shortly thereafter, it started to rain.  But by the time it was time for fireworks, things had cleared up nicely, and I got lots of pics of the action.  Afterwords, got some cool stretchy light photos of boats and cars trying to leave the area.

Monday, helped out with the Starbucks Clean Up project.  Found the remains of a mugging,  and some strange bunch of poles and chains, and a fake rock, that smelt fuel-y.

Lucky 4th

Sunday, July 4th, 2010

When the “check engine” light came on just as I was getting the Beetle to work, I was a little annoyed, but figured, hey, I’ve got the scooter as backup.

Then it started raining.

Thankfully, it’s stopped raining in time for the fireworks (pics uploading), and once the traffic is gone, the streets are dry enough to scooter home.  I don’t have my long-johns at work, will have to get out the scooter-skirt, lest my legs freeze.
