Why have I not posted this earlier?!? Awesomely hilarious video of Joel giving Uncle Jason the runaround thru the hallways of my office. Taken on my birthday I think, Dec 2008.

Jets in formation
Float silent thru the tree line
So Michael Bay-esque

A little warm up for this weekend’s Seafair activities. Think what you want about Sammy Hagar, Van Halen or the Blue Angels… in 1986 I pretty much thought this video was the coolest thing ever. Rock-n-roll + jets = SUPER AWESOME!

It’s supposed to push up into the 90s here this week and, while that’s not really all that hot by the rest of the country’s standards, we Pacific Northwest folks have a hard time with anything slightly warmer than 76.3 degrees (or colder than 40 for that matter). What can I say, we’re weather snobs.

Fortunately, Sarah and I were given, kind of as a joke, an inflatable backyard swimming pool by her coworkers back before we got married. We’ve never really needed to use it, so it’s sat in-box in the garage for the last 7+ years. Finally yesterday I busted it out, plugged in the shop vac and, PRESTO, backyard pool. It’s actually quite a bit bigger than I thought it would be as you can see in the pics below.

Joel’s comments upon seeing the pool:

Me: Joel, what is that?
Joel: It’s a pool! It is soooo big!
