Weekend(er)

Posted on April 9, 2023

The weekend: UO Women’s Softball with Nora, new season of sports (Spring soccer), robotics continues, and running with pals! Two complimentary tickets were offered to UO Staff for the game on Friday evening. It was my first time in the relatively new ballpark, and it was quite nice. New season of soccer for Nora. New players, a new coach and new dynamics, but always fun for her. Growing up, indeed! This is a screenshot from the South Eugene Robotics Team’s (SERT) Instagram from their competition that was held in Cheney, Washington, over the weekend. They did really well and now are on their way to the World Championships competition in Houston, Texas in two weeks (!). Jonah seems to have found his niche, as…

Seattle/Bellevue Travel & Robots

This post has more photos than usual, all taken with the trusty orange GM-1.

When we were little we nicknamed this “Goofy Grandma’s Bridge,” after her. It still stands and still works, though there is talk of a different one taking its place one day. The town I grew up in, Bellevue, was transformed by the high-tech industry with Microsoft’s campus being just one town over.

Final installment of the holiday weekend. Jonah and his Uncle Jon and I went to the Boeing Museum of Flight. We spent the whole day there and had a great time: A model of the lunar rover. I learned from Jonah that the lunar rover could only go as far away as the lander so that if the astronauts had to walk back to the lander, they wouldn’t run out of air. So even though it could have gone further, it was limited so the fellas survived. Interesting! This was Air Force One for Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon:

Safeco Field Tour

Posted on January 3, 2017

My son Jonah and I took a nice tour of Safeco Field when we were up in Seattle this past week. It was a wonderful day with him as we enjoyed the tour, went to Ebbet’s Field Flannels, a vintage baseball clothing store and then went up to Pike Place Market to get some lunch. Afterwards we stopped by Metzger’s Maps. Here’s a little photo album of our visit:   Safeco Field Tour by Sean Sharp on Exposure
