It's sunny here, not a cloud in the sky...

Came to the realization today that they name fires around here. Kinda like hurricanes! I'm not sure if this is "The Red Rock Fire" or the "Trailer 1 Fire". It's not as original as naming a hurricane "Shanteel", the first one is by Red Rock, the 2nd was started by a dragging trailer that sparked up. Original huh? Closer than I thought, but we're in no danger, from the top of Hell Hill:

Eye problems, I guess I'm getting old

Man the past year has been rough on my eyes. About a year ago I started wearing glasses again, the first time in 15 years or so since I had LASIK surgery. I mainly wear them when driving, but as this year has gone on, I find myself wanting them more and more. I love the climate here for the most part, cool in the morning's and dry, but apparently the dryness can cause the pores in your eyelids to clog up and this morning, for about the 5th time since I moved here, I've awaken to puffed up and sore eyelids, due to a condition called chalazion, internal hordeolum or just a common eye stye. They hurt! Feels like a zit you can't pop. Fun!

And take a look at the monster below. Thankfully, it didn't hurt. Woke up to this awhile ago, after noticing a tiny little red mark next to my pupil that lasted a few days. This has happened twice, once after blowing my nose too hard! This attractive condition is known as a subconjunctival hemorrhage (thanks Internet!)

Frenchman's Lake Camping & Lakes Basin Rec Area hike

Of ALL things to forget on a camping trip, MY CAMERA!?!?!?! Thankfully Sue brought her, unfortunately there'd be a LOT more pics of my pups if I had brought my own. Regardless, pictures tell a better story than me blabbing, let me just say CA is just flat gorgeous. Pictures below can be enlarged.

Road TRIP! They all got along fine. Gear is on the trailer.

Spot picked, Good dogs.... Stay! That's Lucy and Dude in front.

One of many lakes

Stealth Swimmers

Todd, the pups and George

Wet all day!

They are pretty good trail dogs, they stay ahead, but not too far, and constantly come back. Next time I'm gonna strap a GPS to one of them, I bet they travel twice the distance.

One of the best pictures

Yes, that's snow! And it's not too far away!

See?!?!?!?!?!??!

That's all the pics I got, but it's making me want to go again SOON!
