2007 West - - - Idaho and
Washington
This
isn't Lake Lavon
My
friend Roger King's place on Johnny Long Mountain, a few miles west of
Sandpoint
Is Roger proud of his Irish heritage? Well . . .
Here
comes the leprechaun of Johnny Long Mountain
He's
been working on this great picnic area
And
tree house
We
roasted hot dogs and s'mores
One of Roger's many inventions
Some
of the others
These
are versions of rivet gun he developed. He calls it "The Main
Squeeze"
Roger's workshop and the "poppy machine" he built. (No, not that kind of poppy)
Roger
and I try to do a photo like this about every 10-15 years
I'm
headed for the town of Rainier, to visit Zambuto Optical
Chuck (left) and Carl (right) make my telescope mirrors. Fredda and Joycelyn make sure they do it right.
Carl
took me by a great local meat market to stock up for Poulsbo
The
new glass machining operation
Diamond
curve generating on a Pyrex mirror blank
One
of the mirror blanks for my first run of 12.5" Teleports
I
got my first look at the blank for my personal 20" Teleport before leaving
for Poulsbo
Linda's building project is moving right along. I did my job (to stay out of the way) rather well I thought.
Her
contract allows Linda to take hot tub breaks
She
leaves Ursula is in charge

by the ever-capable Quixote
