Joe is on his way to Ioka

Joe is coming out to Seattle to see us for a few days and make sure his Dad is on the mend. Generally while he is here, Joe and Mickey do all sorts of outside tasks and projects (new trails in the woods, drink some beer, etc.), with Joe acting as general supervisor. This time, since Mickey is a bit 'off his game', he will be acting general task manager. Here is a "Joe" list that's taped up to the refrigerator (along with pictures of Hailey, Lauren & Sarah; Hailey's first work of "art"; and, Mickey's daily hospital appointments). The JOE list includes:

• Replace a couple of light bulbs (I need an inch longer arm to complete on my own)
• tease Yogi
• weed thru the computer stuff and advise what can be discarded
• TIVO troubleshooting and analysis
• Discuss flat screen TV options and mounting hardware
• tease Yogi some more
• dig out a part of the culvert that's started to accumulate due to recent heavy rains
• eat any and all candy and sweets around the house
• drink some beer
• tell us EVERYTHING about his girls
