A Hospital Visit To A Friend, and a Good Long Ride....

Post by Blaine »

As seen from the East near White Pass, US Rt 12......
Fresh blackberry pie and ice cream at the Mt. Adams Cafe in Randle....

A nice day for a ride, but it started out somber.
Went to See my buddy Fred (the ornery Bear 45-70 :P ) He's in hospital awaiting a double by-pass, and a pig valve.....

Prayers for Fred from me tonight.
Thanks for the info Blaine.
I never could figure out how such a nice guy could be such a piece of sh*t on the internet. He did not have computer skills, but I can not say any thing bad about him in person. I think we had a couple breakfast's together and a couple shoots over the years and it was nothing but good times. I wish we could do it again. And I think we should. I would like to see Grizz again, and you Blaine of couse, and Fred, and sureshot, and well ...................BL.........One can dream.... any how, I wish my best to the Gentleman.
