Cassie and Bob did the Space Needle tour to the Observation Deck. Great views, but the great elevator ride up rivaled some of the best amusement park rides. Grandma waited in the gift shop at the bottom….

We then ventured to what is considered in many literary circles as Seattle’s best burger at The Red Mill. Bun was much bigger than the burger. Bacon on the burger was superb. Overall it was ok, but I think Maltby Café is better. Fries were at the Burger King level and the onion rings were also tasteless. (burger would have been filling enough) This is a place we will visit again for a second chance.

Cannon update… Started building one from 2” abs… need some minor parts so will hold for a few days for testing. Using the ¾” barrel, I have sent cherry tomatoes well beyond the 150 yard mark. Most remain whole. I charged the cannon to 50 lbs and the tomato sort of disintegrated. I could try freezing them? ;-)… I will be in Cove sometime during the month of September so will have to take them home and try them out at full pressure (90 lbs+).

Cassie and Grandma had pedicures on Tuesday morning and it was very relaxing, a fun activity for us. Grandpa and Cassie had massages on Friday much to their enjoyment! We all three attended the Lung Transplant Support Group meeting on Tuesday. Weather has been good this week so lots of time for Cassie on her scooter and Gpa on the bicycle, with Violet happily going along. Violet has met a couple of new friends, one being a 3 yr old female boxer. They chased a ball and ran so hard they eventually collapsed in a bundle together at the end of play time.
