Yeah... It's evidence.

I also got a huge fucking welt from being bitten by something. Perhaps a horse fly, as one was caught in the net window of the tent when I collapsed it. I had no easy way to kill it, so it just trapped it to die a slow death for its crimes.

Because ouch.

That doesn't look like a horse fly bite, or they breed 'em different up there. If anything, that reminds me of a wasp sting.

I got something similar on my armpit. I presume it will either heal or my arm will fall off.

Definitely the latter. My initials are "MD", so, I'm like an expert. Sorta.

Maybe. There was something in the tent and I thought it was a horse fly not a wasp, but it was through a net to so knows?

That Jeep is getting a Jurassic Park skin when the kids outgrow it.
If the Jeep didn't live at her grandparents house, I'd absolutely have done this by now. Still might.

Anyway, back home now.

I recently stayed a week at Diamond Lake and visited Crater Lake while in the area. For those of you unaware, Crater Lake was formed when a volcano exploded then imploded, and it's the deepest lake in the US and some of the cleanest and clearest water in the world. Here's a panorama from one of the many outlook points:

The water is truly that color in reality. It's so pretty.

This is Wizard Island, called that because it's supposedly shaped like a wizard hat (I can't say I agree). It's a mini volcano inside of the caldera. I mean, mini compared to the other one, it's still 800 feet above the lake and about 7000 feet above sea level.

There was a whole lot of snow! This was only a couple of weeks ago. They get something like fifty feet of snow a year and it's only without any snow for a couple of months in the summer.

Diamond Lake is a bit less visually impressive, but it has the advantage of being able to get into the water without climbing a steep trail that has a 700+ foot elevation change.PXL_20250623_201636970.MP.jpg
That's Mt Baldwin I think?

I forgot the name of this mountain, but it looks like the perfect location for a super villain lair to me.

We saw these incredible rainbows while there. I'd never seen anything like it. (These next pictures aren't mine.)

This one you can't see the rainbow as well, but it did have all the usual colors:

I'd just like to say all the pictures that accurately represented colors were Pixels, and that one which somehow didn't capture the rainbow colors was a Samsung. :tease

How to have a heart attack.

Especially since the wife opened the door and I couldn't tell who it was.

Turns out they were investigating reports of a domestic argument, but said that the reports were 'up here' but when taking to people they're 'down here'.

I definitely didn't hear anything.

...so they're there to investigate something that's there but not there?

The way I'd panic if I saw this on my cameras is indescribable.

Also hi everybody, I hope you've all been well! I've made some moves since the last time I remembered to post but I've bought a 2001 CLK55 AMG and I'm about to close on my house in the next week or so!

I mean I could suspicion my as into wondering what they were doing, but at face value I guess it might have been a false report. Certainly didn't seem like there was screaming or anything else.

Something like this has happened to us before. A cop just stopping by because a "neighbor smelled something" and thought somebody died in our house maybe. It was weird because even the cop said their was no smell. Nobody came and knocked on our door to even check before calling the cops. The best we could figure somebody was trying to check and see if the house was occupied. Or they just had the wrong house. It was weird. We get hit up a lot for random ass flippers trying to buy our house.

We have a very heavy metal storm door on the outside of our front door. Like this. https://share.google/0VkW23ulHK7zF863t

I got it because in the spring and fall I love to have all the windows and doors open. I wanted something that looked nice then a screen door. Does come in handy with stuff like this were you can talk to people through it and not have to open your front door to do it.
