I R Sam

Well, I just made my first swim of 2008. Its cold as hell and still February, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I wasn’t actually planning on swimming today when I went into the office but as I was looking out my window watching the sun, I realized I was probably missing out.

Since I always carry my swimming and baseball gear in my truck (year round - I like to be prepared!) I was ready to go.I won’t lie… I didn’t spend much time in the water but I did go out about 100 yards from the shore and then zipped back in because some people were yelling on the beach and I didn’t want them calling the fire department or something equally stupid.

After I reached the shore, I was pretty cold but in good shape! I listened to the elderly couple bitch about my swimming and then headed back into the office.

My neighbors fear me now that they know I am Scuba Steve.

Forest and I made a successful move here to Oak Harbor WA last weekend. My family and friends showed up and we packed up my office and the old house in a matter of 2 hours or so. The next morning we drove over to Oak Harbor and got moved in to the new place.

It was sad to leave Port Angeles with all the friends we have there and I’ll miss them all as we continue on our own paths. I made alot of long term friends in the area and I’ll always look for an opportunity to move back if it makes sense. In the mean time we’re happy with our new place and Oak Harbor seems to be a great place for us to live.

We took a few pics of the house and you can see them on my flickr profile. I’ll try to add more as we get around the town a bit more. If you want to visit me, just give me a call or shoot me an email and I’ll give you our new address!
