Today was another good day at the FTC. Only a few days left and lots of going out to lunch next week! I followed it up with a solid workout at Klahanie gym. I worked back muscles today, doing an assortment of exercises. Tomorrow I don’t plan on going to the gym, but we’ll see……

Today was a great day at work. I’ve only got 5 days left, so it will be sad to leave, but I think I’ve earned some time to relax and be lazy! After work, I went to Klahanie Fitness to lift weights. I felt out-of-sync for the first part because my muscles were still tired…

More nice photos!

We camped near this glacial lake below the Adams Glacier. We stopped to take more photos of wildflowers on the way out. Ascending the Adams…

The good weather is forecasted to continue this weekend with 80 degrees tomorrow and 78 Sunday before another cool-down into the upper 60’s next week and maybe some rain mid-week. I’m going…

Last day of June

Wow, June went by fast. Unfortunately, that means my summer is also going by fast. However, I think I am situated pretty good for some great fun in the next two months. My hard work at the FTC internship the past month and a half has resulted in 28 days of work so far. I…

Cool

Check out the post from yesterday, June 28. I added some info on the rock climbing from yesterday.

Beautiful Day

The natural air conditioner (aka Pacific Ocean) kicked into gear today moderating our temperatures from 90 degrees yesterday to a comfortable 80 degrees today. A refreshing breeze has been blowing all day precluding sweating and hopefully making for a good night of sleep. Tomorrow the temps are supposed to drop another 5 to 10 degrees,…
