March....spring is on its way. I can feel it in the air. Hiking season is so close I can smell it. I guess I should say it is here. Couple of weekends ago, my wife and I along with my brother and sister in law and a couple of the wife's friends hiked up Swakane Canyon for just the day. Sunny and very nice. Took our time and had great views. We hope this weekend to make a trip into Douglas Creek from Waterville. Another day trip.
I had my bubble burst over the weekend. I work part-time for the local events center doing various things. They put on concerts and such. The Harlem Globetrotters were just in town and I worked it doing photos for the center. I also run one of the 4 video cameras that the junior hockey team, the Wenatchee Wild use to show the games on the "big screen" that the center has. Last week I was talking with the operations manager and he told me they needed another Zamboni driver, so I jumped in head first. I started to learn the ropes and did a few days of practice and was starting to get the hang of it. I was going to work from 4pm to 10pm on Wednesday and Thursday nights, just perfect. Well, on Saturday night during the hockey game I mentioned to him that I would come in on Monday morning and do some more driving and he told me things had changed and he would only need me on Friday nights. Fridays are my days to gear up for the weekend's work with photography and there are times when my wife and I get out of town to make a 3 day hiking trip. So, looks like I will not be the Zamboni driver. We shall see, as of today I have not talked with them. There still may be hope.
I am working on something I will post soon about a photo problem. It has been on my mind and I think I have it all worked out. So be on the lookout.
