Some of you have asked specific questions regarding last

food, schedule, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So the following 4
posts may answer some questions. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We took
a lot of pictures, after which Star Vista Live (SVL) supplemented them with
another 1000+ pics, plus a DVD.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We’ll
use some here.<o:p></o:p></div>

The ship has 12 accessible levels. We settled on level six for our cabin, near the center of the ship. That is the lowest level with a balcony. We heard the near center-bottom of the ship is where you feel the least amount of rocking wave motion. In the ship picture, it’s just above the orange lifeboats, so if the ship is sinking it’s a simple jump from our balconies (Ha-Ha).</div>

You'll have a choice of eating in one of two dining rooms, scheduled at 6pm (Silver) or 8pm (Gold). We chose the later time in order to have fewer conflicts with the main acts in the Large concert hall. Your Gold / Silver designation also determines when you get to see the main act for the day, 8pm or 6pm.<br />

There are also (2-3 extra cost) cafes, a great buffet, convenient fast-food bar, etc. The schedule is PACKED!!! So we ate at the buffet a lot more than expected, only making the Dining Room one time. It comes down to “do you want to eat” or do you want to “listen to live rock-n-roll”? The fast-food bar is next to the stage on the top deck, so I ate a lot of burgers. Leslie got fruit plates from the buffet, only a minute’s walk away.</div>

They told us this is the only cruise they have allowing informal (tie-dye and jeans) at the formal events like the dining hall. However, we noticed the people using the dining room did dress somewhat formally. We didn't.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
There are essentially 4 concert / entertainment venues. This is the largest, holding around 800 or so, on level 4. Seating is "First come First serve".</div>

Sorry I've been gone so long. I'm getting some requests from car-friends regarding my latest project(s). I finally signed up for Facebook and am getting lots of "Friend" requests from my Swedish Pontiac friends... whom I love, but thought I'd redirect to this blog. They love their Pontiacs in Sweden, and likely have many of the best survivors.<br />

I picked up this 4-speed, Ram-Air III, 1970 Trans Am recently in Buffalo Wyoming. Found it with only 65,000 miles, and numbers matching drive-train, in a local body shop. Same old story... guy brings it in to restore for his wife (25 years ago), and marriage only lasted another year. Body was virtually rust free, but now ready for final sanding and paint. Engine and tranny gone-thru, and ready to go. <br />

Car was located next to the shop telephone, and must have over a 100 phone numbers written on the primer. It was originally delivered to a Pontiac dealership in Ft. Morgan, Colorado. It's never left the front range.<br />

I remember when these came out in 1970 and was blown away by the style and ground-effects. It was a radical departure from previous autos. It was just "Groovy". The car was available in any color you wanted, as long as it white with a blue strip, or blue with a white stripe (thank you Henry Ford). I've been looking for one of these as the little brother (sister?.. no one ever told me how to determine the gender of a car) for my '69 Trans Am.<br />
<br />
When done it ought to look something like this....<br />

As my PD continues to progress, I'm thinking this is my last car to restore... unless something really good comes along. <br />

Lauderdale-By-The-Sea for spring break. It's always a fun and relaxing few weeks for hanging out on the beach and watching March Madness. Also a great opportunity to have some good sea food.<br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Okay... I'll
admit from the last post, I didn't "just look at" the car in
western Iowa, I bought it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 1974 GTO is
a car I've always liked in terms of appearance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was the last of the twentieth century GTOs,
from a time when gasoline and insurance costs effectively killed the prospects
of increased performance in cars. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The basic concept
of the original Pontiac GTO was to stuff a big engine in a small-to-midsize car.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That fundamentally changed through the '60s
and '70s, as the GM A-Body (1973) car grew to a stout 3900 lbs and over
207" of length. The first (1964) GTO was 3500 lb and 203" long.</span></div>

1973 GTO</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Today, GTO
enthusiasts put the '73 and '74 at the bottom of the popularity list, and still
argue over which car is worse. Early '70s buyers, voting with their wallets,
said the better car was the 1974 with 7058 units selling.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The 1973 sold 4806 cars, only 68% of 1974
sales. In my opinion the 1973 had more of a Grandpa look (like me) than a
muscular look. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, it looks like the
'73 would be faster if driven in reverse. Did Pontiac put the body on
backwards?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The base 1974 GTO was also
about $200 less than the base 1973 GTO.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Not as much luxury, but more of a muscle car feel with the 1974.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I find the '74
GTO body style, based on GM's X-Body, to be considerably more brawny looking. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It also seems more consistent with the initial
intent of the GTO.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The '74 was 3600 lbs
and 199" long (including those awful federally mandated 5 mph-crash
bumpers).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's 300 lbs lighter and
8" shorter than the 1973, and nearly identical to the 1964.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The '73 came available with either a 400ci/225hp
or 455ci/250hp engine, while sadly the 1974 only came with a 350ci/200hp
engine.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That put the weight-to-power
ratio for the 1973's 400 and the 1974's 350 at about the same level.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Where did
Pontiac blow-it with the '74 GTO? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Pontiac's</span> Super-Duty 455, available in the Firebird line, should have been an
offering for the 1974 GTO.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It would have easily
fit, and may have produced the greatest GTO of all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They gave the GTO the operable reverse air-scoop of the Trans Am...
why not the engine?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">On a high
note, the 1974's performance was comparable to the 1964's performance, which
was good enough to write songs about (Ronny and the Daytonas - Little GTO).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I had a chance to buy a 1973 GTO about 12 years ago in Wheatland Wyoming. I think the price was $4500. It was a one owner, low mileage, all original... nice car. If available, I would buy it today, but I'd hide it in the back of my garage.</span></span></div>

As you saw in a previous post, we were able to put Wendy and the kids to work when they visited in October. Since they are undocumented workers from Minnesota, and didn't qualify for the child labor laws, we paid them minimum wage (zero $$$). Leslie flew back to MSP with them to help with the flight (no, her arms didn't get tired). After they had been gone for a couple of weeks, we missed them so much... we invited ourselves back for Thanksgiving. The rumors about Wendy's cooking and Cameron's pies are all true. We both got to help untangle the Christmas lights from last year, and Leslie was drafted to help put jigsaw puzzles together.

It was really quiet at home after we returned, so we invited ourselves to Lindsey's and Michael's for Christmas. We have such understanding daughters and sons-in-law. We also have understanding grandsons, as they didn't mind our kicking them out of their bedroom for a week. Besides, its a lot warmer in Arizona that time of year. Anyway, we had a lot of fun with them. We had great food, watched movies, toured model homes, checked out homes under construction, visited the decorated Mesa Temple grounds, and played catch with the boy's and their new baseball mitts.

We figured as long as we were riding the grub line, we might as well stop and see Sally and family in Las Vegas. This time we kicked Holly out of her bedroom, and forced her to sleep on the couch. We're getting pretty good at displacing relatives. We got to see Sally's new back yard, Chris & Ashley's new son Logan, and their new house.
Other than that,"what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas".<br />

This was a car worthy of a body-off restoration, with its unusual color (Crystal Turquoise Metallic - Code 55/K) and general rarity. They only made 7436 GTO convertibles in 1969, and this one came from the factory loaded with 23 options. Luxury muscle is somewhat uncommon.<br />

The options included a Turbo-Hydro transmission, power steering, power brakes, power top, power windows, power door locks, power antenna, custom-sport steering wheel with tilt, remote mirrors, rally gauge cluster, console, radio with 8-track stereo, rear speakers, visor mirrors, Rally II wheels, covered headlights, hood tach, and more. One unusual option, chrome exhaust extensions, were officially unavailable on automatic cars, but this came with them according to the PHS build sheet. Gardner Exhaust Systems out of Red Hook NY has done literally thousands of exhaust systems for national award winning cars, and they've only seen one other like this. Thats Steppenwolf in the 8-track... OH YEAH!<br />

The Goat is mostly numbers matching, with only the transmission being replaced (1970 GTO coded replacement). Hoses, belts, and spark plug wires are all date code correct.

This car was really brought back from the dead, after spending it's early years in Illinois. Best part is that it runs strong, smooth and is really tight. I wish my black GTO convertible was as nice. I'll have to work on that.

<br />
<br />
We had a pretty eventful and busy summer, with 4 grandkids (for 3 months) while a house was being built (Gelsey), and a total of 8 in July while trying to beat the Arizona summer heat (Linds).
<br />
<br />
We had some fun, however, amidst the chaos... and I learned a lot, like:
<br />
1 make yourself scarce in the event of malodorous emanations from the
general vicinity of a<br />
diaper
<br />
2 warn the neighbors in advance
<br />
3 always volunteer to walk the dog
<br />
4 take your stress tabs
<br />
5 look for out-of-town work
opportunities<br />
6 plan on lots of lap time
<br />
7 buy a Wii for the grandkids, even if their parents don't want one
<br />
8 if you need to use the computer... get up early<br />
9 don't tease a grandkid until they're fully awake
<br />
10 don't plan on a snack or a drink without the expectation that you'll share it
<br />
<br />
With Kipp trying to prevent the National Forests from burning down, and Michael straightening teeth in Phoenix and Scottsdale, I got a lot of grandpa time.<br />
<br />
There was also a major effort to keep everyone busy, so:
<br />
<br />
I dragged everyone to the GTO Nationals in Loveland, but had to bribe them with everyone's favorite... the Embassy Suites.<br />

Due to the unusually hot summer, we were al looking for opportunities to keep cool.
I think I'll seriously be looking to add air conditioning next summer. <br />

Now Les and I are on to our fall vacation. We've got our UW season football, men's and women's basketball tickets, so that'll be entertaining. But we need to plan a trip or two. The Austin's want us to meet them in Hawaii in January, so maybe we'll plan that.<br />
<br />
Gelsey, Kipp and fam are now in their new house, and Bode's starting pre-school. Kipp and Gels are trying to find time to hang window treatments, install ceiling fans, and put in a sprinkler system and landscaping... good luck! <br />
<br />
Linds, Michael and fam are back in Phoenix. Jeremy, Tyler and Megan went back to school in early August. Linds is home alone with Lucy, but has a new treadmill for running when it's too hot outside. Michael's busy with work and as EQ president.<br />

Ten grandkidsYou may have noticed in my last blog that I indicated we have 10 grandkids... That was a quick jump from 8, but Gelsey and Kipp have put us on the fast-track. Here's a family picture. Last I heard their names were Flynn and Braxon, but I'm hearing that may have changed. For greater details, see "The Klein Times" on my blog list.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCJoHJVg5yTsQpXl7RIrwmsSp1URnKK-eJwdBvQd4y0OHI0BuLjjCdZ_lu5P75Hdvet7hOaa0GX-96PBcf-oKUuXYj5AcngXJnubiu9sgzUopl6QjKtaSSLwNu4dQpku1GkPlJznOJxBQ/s1600/Twins+02152012+025.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCJoHJVg5yTsQpXl7RIrwmsSp1URnKK-eJwdBvQd4y0OHI0BuLjjCdZ_lu5P75Hdvet7hOaa0GX-96PBcf-oKUuXYj5AcngXJnubiu9sgzUopl6QjKtaSSLwNu4dQpku1GkPlJznOJxBQ/s400/Twins+02152012+025.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713656436834896450" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUfqQs3JkGXb5tZOATMci-6KT4ezqFN-p_ZWTnYvhENFMq0_X0CBs_SJUBWtfLU71eN9ToS1Sno1q2-W8HckVd1Ro2ih92JUI3oRztFK6nedyIAAbERaKRVIpfbbAswQoN1qQQmb_ZbFs/s1600/K006.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUfqQs3JkGXb5tZOATMci-6KT4ezqFN-p_ZWTnYvhENFMq0_X0CBs_SJUBWtfLU71eN9ToS1Sno1q2-W8HckVd1Ro2ih92JUI3oRztFK6nedyIAAbERaKRVIpfbbAswQoN1qQQmb_ZbFs/s400/K006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713656428889942770" /></a>Max Polsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10102201932142185293noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551060823411117077.post-10104033926134567772012-02-17T16:28:00.000-08:002012-02-17T16:42:17.951-08:00Landon Edward Clark<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeLWqNxBS4UEfvAAkZDvHCwfiV4cxTbKrjWlXxT5e14J9_txBYs3YuoUGdYK14GWde1cRAI5OXQy7wvxt-kwsPsEZESXKwMDOLW6lClW7S0ildTs94L5U3JbW04Vr4oIr8lUynwR9Rxk/s1600/Landon+02.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjeLWqNxBS4UEfvAAkZDvHCwfiV4cxTbKrjWlXxT5e14J9_txBYs3YuoUGdYK14GWde1cRAI5OXQy7wvxt-kwsPsEZESXKwMDOLW6lClW7S0ildTs94L5U3JbW04Vr4oIr8lUynwR9Rxk/s400/Landon+02.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5710267379785417026" /></a>This is my Grandson Landon Edward Clark, and he turned one year old today (February 17). Landon is my eighth oldest grandchild, and the fifth of seven grandsons. He's <br />another really happy kid. I love Lan"Donny" for lots of reasons, including:<br />• He really likes to play with his grandpa.<br />• He really loves his sister Miley.<br />• He is a good boy in church.<br />• He has the same middle-name as I do.<br />• He doesn't care if I call him Lan"Donny".<br />• Coming from Minnesota, he never needs a coat.<br />• He likes Grandpa's hair style.<br />• He's really smart and is a good walker.<br /><br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON !

The body panels and floors have been beautifully resurrected. Now they've been fitted, and the interior surfaces have been sprayed with that beautiful code 55 - Crystal Turquoise paint.<br /><br /><br />There is still a lot of work and money to go. I'm sending in the dash for a full restoration to Dashboard Restorations in Washington State. Still gotta send in my steering wheel for the same. I just ordered a ton of final trim parts from Ames Performance in New Hampshire, and have been locating some hard to find parts on ebay. I've found an under dash y-duct to fit the 8-track with no A/C, and some nice rear speaker grills in Canada. I'm still looking for those hard to find parts like an original in dash 10 ohm speaker, 8-track wiring harness, remote mirror, door edge guards, etc.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEJ3NeX-h6bD_UwBQxt2OjyOzyOcVJDkrN1QqYQPI1G7nXeeVbiN3a_GVi134v8wHEJq3hZaBGo7aG09BUP-yCVdeW8JuaOIW-RHmwaF64VtcTwKv5d4uqynPBtz7bdGyG12qF5cNdD7c/s1600/35-01.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px; height: 267px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702770952806373362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEJ3NeX-h6bD_UwBQxt2OjyOzyOcVJDkrN1QqYQPI1G7nXeeVbiN3a_GVi134v8wHEJq3hZaBGo7aG09BUP-yCVdeW8JuaOIW-RHmwaF64VtcTwKv5d4uqynPBtz7bdGyG12qF5cNdD7c/s400/35-01.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIBnQGFMvMG208bLK3xVCMBZrwHeZEXOW2uzf3TDAEfm_DFEZUx2KBycf9pEJc-GznAmsKjdd3LU4HASsXg0S5TcvtQvzSl3XwguK1rtT4oFF8hb9hcghW0Fm08pFuHaYCjnhgG6-3PsA/s1600/35-02.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px; height: 267px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702770947783840754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIBnQGFMvMG208bLK3xVCMBZrwHeZEXOW2uzf3TDAEfm_DFEZUx2KBycf9pEJc-GznAmsKjdd3LU4HASsXg0S5TcvtQvzSl3XwguK1rtT4oFF8hb9hcghW0Fm08pFuHaYCjnhgG6-3PsA/s400/35-02.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgtjBpzlTeOJThvlatYMZZe75GpoGBR-JsPidegpkoAzjldwGW5vdjVoEB3hSazctiWHmalitqEyEaK4ldqIepxLxmX3PK7PRikKeYX2vkeReku3yVGorAti6J2LSxjK6Hy5IGRm8uZYI/s1600/35-03.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px; height: 267px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702769153770433682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgtjBpzlTeOJThvlatYMZZe75GpoGBR-JsPidegpkoAzjldwGW5vdjVoEB3hSazctiWHmalitqEyEaK4ldqIepxLxmX3PK7PRikKeYX2vkeReku3yVGorAti6J2LSxjK6Hy5IGRm8uZYI/s400/35-03.JPG" /></a><br /><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 400px; height: 267px; float: left; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702769148714788530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjshZbDJcXPKxYrYpB_crq4pXOKcySYSc3rNo1MpG6x2aA00PtLDIwlka6FNIgg1yw0-o8LbaD0mpY6XZlDiiptQCp1pe76-3bWiGdXWb-tZUvSTGq7n-TaxLmxzmDLVCDtJEZ9xjO4YlE/s400/35-04.JPG" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We're aiming to finish this up by June.

"Stop talking, it hurts her ears".<br /> · She likes to talk on Skype and show us her stuff.<br /> · She always tries to do what is right.<br /><br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUCY !

We spent about 5 days with Lindsey's family in Mesa. Megan left a note at the front door asking if we wanted a peach or chocolate milkshake - check "yes" or "no". Once inside, Jeremy and Tyler immediately confiscated my iPod so they could play Metal Storm: Wingman. I was lucky to get it back before we left. All-in-all it was a great visit. We even got to go to Tyler's school Christmas program.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEv1VAjDQnql4Cx166mnSPBmVh7wrw8eXwkRtnkZ0UFo8XtfxExbBcvtS1k0G5nBi4k2kCAH0wkZAS2u3PgjbyE7M2lginTO6UW9Y-muCtbfasCT47f8bWKU3u6xwFYmR6HP5wEdqdRM/s1600/01+Jer+and+Ty.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698366240342299042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEv1VAjDQnql4Cx166mnSPBmVh7wrw8eXwkRtnkZ0UFo8XtfxExbBcvtS1k0G5nBi4k2kCAH0wkZAS2u3PgjbyE7M2lginTO6UW9Y-muCtbfasCT47f8bWKU3u6xwFYmR6HP5wEdqdRM/s400/01+Jer+and+Ty.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Since Lindsey was signed up to replace Gelsey in the Las Vegas half-marathon, we took her on a short road-trip to Vegas. What a great way to get in a good visit. As a structural engineer, I had to make a stop at the Hoover Dam Bridge Bypass (Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge). It's pretty impressive at 270 meters (866 ft) of height, and has a good view from the top. We also had a great visit with my sister Sally and her fam in LV and SLC.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWweYRKGl7uNToTfweSiTw_BkTfbgsrsGcnpUoUGRJ6Ixf9uIMIkMaJHXpDLTnqUESiBtmKjVh5hDKDWOWLxWs2BFc3oJ4sv6GsuvZj20fDQTpNUxYnV5gT1p_dNKOFhYAjrXtu9QpQ9E/s1600/02+Lindsey.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698366234848300850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWweYRKGl7uNToTfweSiTw_BkTfbgsrsGcnpUoUGRJ6Ixf9uIMIkMaJHXpDLTnqUESiBtmKjVh5hDKDWOWLxWs2BFc3oJ4sv6GsuvZj20fDQTpNUxYnV5gT1p_dNKOFhYAjrXtu9QpQ9E/s400/02+Lindsey.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVKcP-Y5DM2d_KyPjvfW4iubfV3FlFRjaVDtojSS7KyhJNjjQw-MCZ46ng7UrBqJ9fuAW02ByiPvGKlw0vHRWF63A8uP7_Ag_hUmkKeYOFz5RSyGGQp-wNEfVpRbWuYV7CbhrU-mOufCI/s1600/03+dam.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698364800222310802" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVKcP-Y5DM2d_KyPjvfW4iubfV3FlFRjaVDtojSS7KyhJNjjQw-MCZ46ng7UrBqJ9fuAW02ByiPvGKlw0vHRWF63A8uP7_Ag_hUmkKeYOFz5RSyGGQp-wNEfVpRbWuYV7CbhrU-mOufCI/s400/03+dam.JPG" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPOAup0IFx4jy4Trv9fqQXA8CQokTMoCpcMABBzcuZWm86uhcgUsH8mN9NanHuvJ_Uc_zbvkplms6s1Gcsn38NCVBHO_QkIA9JCunyojKLo8GtxOB15v5J6EX0_eAivcf_GYymhRteWmE/s1600/04+Don.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 267px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698364794720917970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPOAup0IFx4jy4Trv9fqQXA8CQokTMoCpcMABBzcuZWm86uhcgUsH8mN9NanHuvJ_Uc_zbvkplms6s1Gcsn38NCVBHO_QkIA9JCunyojKLo8GtxOB15v5J6EX0_eAivcf_GYymhRteWmE/s400/04+Don.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Lindsey and Kipp ran the half, with Kipp coming in at 1:38 and Linds at 1:48. I was pretty impressed as I haven't run one that fast (anything over 100 yards is too long for me). We got Lindsey to the airport right after the race, so she could be home in time for Michael to go to work on Monday morning. Fun, fun, fun!<br /><br /></div><br /><div><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 255px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 379px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698362400577010450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqlis637U8fTqM1DK0th_4rMiMWOhEFef25KUOcwSzrtcFCszgTRdz5FR2kz0uz5vWklnxEV2_z_lgdi-wFk9GSVxqlI-pT7ySbVfKQtYknt9u9pS2SA8jPDFe3hX1wXnRHfhaEPdrRrI/s400/05+Lindsey.png" /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg29MFI2R1oNOg8SQZhtAqd4TfPL34iBZrl4lbT7Z-T96hyphenhyphendAfkTXg8RxvHQ_OYyXsCV0GZLal_KPK5FRZSDjEOW8CDxUJmCP3on5JJNN3fHud1M-yiqtQjBOx1ySFPRZPBPBJVP-B9RHM/s1600/06+K+and+L.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 253px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 381px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5698362400256842082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg29MFI2R1oNOg8SQZhtAqd4TfPL34iBZrl4lbT7Z-T96hyphenhyphendAfkTXg8RxvHQ_OYyXsCV0GZLal_KPK5FRZSDjEOW8CDxUJmCP3on5JJNN3fHud1M-yiqtQjBOx1ySFPRZPBPBJVP-B9RHM/s400/06+K+and+L.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div></div></div>Max Polsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10102201932142185293noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551060823411117077.post-5057995943315366892011-12-11T15:26:00.000-08:002011-12-12T23:17:43.885-08:00Happy Birthday Megan Bowen<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFGdn1m2gqQgEhppfeW2AS6wcpjYw6SNDF_s0G3HO_JVEY85323SWpinD5wuCsexSonRt4zj2awWRCoWpXUxfAILS1CnO97M2YAzpWCRHYyS93qXPsmnftf-ma2MXK6K19mqYp48v6uc/s1600/Megan+2011.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 267px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685017874608970594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTFGdn1m2gqQgEhppfeW2AS6wcpjYw6SNDF_s0G3HO_JVEY85323SWpinD5wuCsexSonRt4zj2awWRCoWpXUxfAILS1CnO97M2YAzpWCRHYyS93qXPsmnftf-ma2MXK6K19mqYp48v6uc/s400/Megan+2011.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is our Granddaughter Megan Leslie Bowen, and she recently turned five years old (Nov 17). Megan is an Arizona Sun Angel. Megan "Leslie" was named after Grammie, one of her two favorite grandmothers. Megan is a great artist, and her Aunt Gelsey calls her Megan Van Gogh. Aunt Gelsey has some of Megan's work on her blog too.<br /><br />We love Megan for lots of reasons, including:<br />• She is really a nice girl, and friendly with everyone.<br />• She loves her Heavenly Father and likes to go to Primary<br />• She is an excellent artist.<br />• She can play well with her little sister Lucy.<br />• She likes to stay up late at night, and get up late in the morning.<br />• She offers to make us peach milk shakes.<br />• She doesn't get mad when Tyler tells her to chew with her mouth closed.<br /><br />HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGAN ! Love Poppa and Grammie<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBWDiCAMtBOdBGLPUWW8bdxWQtgSMzdQ1lIWhdhDogKN5l48gsa2JrgB_w01fvG-baiARkF2BFc4xEYHa_50Jwd8oyr2TEHMlo0_WcQz37DdOsBE0w1tSZzgagJV7cUunQTnBhSSlrmZE/s1600/Megan+Art.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 302px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5685016888989479442" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBWDiCAMtBOdBGLPUWW8bdxWQtgSMzdQ1lIWhdhDogKN5l48gsa2JrgB_w01fvG-baiARkF2BFc4xEYHa_50Jwd8oyr2TEHMlo0_WcQz37DdOsBE0w1tSZzgagJV7cUunQTnBhSSlrmZE/s400/Megan+Art.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Here is Megan's picture of her and Grammie.
