Samantha and I took a motorcycle ride out to Roche Harbor today, April 29, and stopped by to visit the Marine Fun Center provided by San Juan Safaris.  Picture from left to right, Bill, Brian and Nick.

San Juan Safaris put on really great whale watching boat trips - leaving from Roche Harbor and Friday Harbor as well as kayaking in the north island area.

very interested in me.  Skye follows me everywhere I go and watches what I do, making mental notes along the way.

My friend, Mike C., emailed me the other day and invited me to fly over to the Skagit Regional Airport ...   more »

I was at this concert in the 1991.  Bill Graham, the concert promoter was killed in a helicopter accident in November or December 1991.  A free concert was held at the Polo Grounds in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, some of the best bands from the 60's, 70's and 80' that had a bay area connection performed.

I saw some great performances.  The Grateful Dead jamming, they also backed up Dan Fogerty - who was band less.  This video is of Neil Young and the Grateful Dead, who jammed together for over an hour.

Totally cool.

The fun part of this story was that my son, Ammon, had just turned 11 and he didn't want to be there and worked really hard not to hear the music.  He just laid down, as only a 11 year who didn't want to be somewhere could.  I would say, "Ammon, it's Neil Young!"  Nothing.  It was fun.

Last summer, Ammon and I, attended a Crosy, Stills, Nash and Young concert.  It was cool.  See the video clip, "Tree Top Flier" below - we were there!

I could be a rambler from the seven dialsI don't pay taxes 'cause I never file
I don't do business that don't make me smile
I love my aeroplane 'cause she's got style
I'm a treetop flyerBorn survivor
I will fly any cargo you can pay to run
these bush league pilots just can't get the job done
Got to fly down into the canyons, never see the sun
There's no such thing as an easy run
For a treetop flierBorn survivor
I'm flyin' low, I'm in high demand
Fly fifteen feet off the Rio Grande
Blow the mesquite right up off the sand
Seldom seen, especially when I land
I'm a treetop flier
Born SurvivorPeople ask me, "Where'd you learn to fly that way?"
Over in Vietnam, chasin' NVA
The government taught me, and they taught me right,
Stay under the treeline, and you might come out alright
I'm a treetop flierBorn survivor
Comin' home, I'm runnin' low and fast
promised my woman this one's gonna be my last
Get the ship down, and I tie her fast
then some old boy walks up, says "Son, you wanna make some fast cash?"
I'm a treetop flyer
There's things I am and there's things I'm not
I am a smuggler and I could get shot
But I gonna die, I ain't goin' to get caught,
'Cause I'm a flyin' fool and my aeroplane is just too hot
I'm a treetop flier
Born survivor
