There is still time to buy my calendar and have it for the new year. The March photo was taken on Mount Walker: Look at my Calendars
I was feeling a little bit sick and I did not feel like driving and there was some rain in the forecast, so I went to Mount Walker by bus.
My dentist just stuck it to me on a filling that fell out just 4 months after he replaced it so I was feeling a big frugal too. He said that he fixes fillings for free if they fall out in less than on year, but he lied. He still charges for an office visit. So now I'm $120 into just getting the filling on this tooth replaced two times, plus what I paid for the original filling grrrrr. Third times the charm maybe? Maybe the filling will stay in this time?
My dentist wants me to "teach me how to pick mushrooms" too. Forget that, he can go buy his mushrooms in the store will all the money that I am giving him.
I decided to walk up the road rather than to huff and puff up the steep trail. The gate is now closed, going up the road gave me more solitude than going up the trail would. The road is twice as long but only half as steep and it's a more pleasant walk for me. I did hike down the trail however and now today my knee is letting my know about it.
Maybe I should stick to flatter trails for a while. The weather was nice and the bus ride was pleasant. It seems that Friday is a good day of the week to take the bus, there was only one other passenger on the way back.
101 is down to one lane near Brinnon due to the road slumping after the recent rains.
The bus was going so fast when I rang that bell that it could not stop and pull off the road in time so the driver took me on up to the entrance to Mount Walker. I liked not having to walk on the highway!
