More photos.

Last night before I went to bed, I started the upload from another set of slides. This one had a lot of pictures of me with the Maverick and a couple with the Escort, and the two cars are clearly in the driveway at the same time, which places the slides fairly well in time - we bought the Escort to replace the Maverick, so I doubt they co-existed for even as much as a year. The Escort was an 85-and-a-half as Mom's letter (posted a while back) says, so this would have probably been 1985, possibly 1986. I didn't want to give up the Maverick (it used leaded gasoline and couldn't handle unleaded without modifications, so it did need to go - otherwise, the car was fine, as far as I know), so I suspect the pictures were in part Dad's way of helping me to let go of the car. I was obviously having fun posing, though.

There's also a few pictures from a houseboating trip, which I think would be the trip to Lake Billy Chinook. Hopefully someone older than I am, and thus with a better memory, can confirm whether that was in 1985 or (if not) when it was....

A couple shots of me I particularly like (though I was posing in most of them, so there are a number of amusing shots of me in this set): with the Maverick and with the Escort. I don't believe those jeans were actually bought with holes in them, I suspect I just wore them into that shape, but it was about the time frame when not patching them would be the "in" thing to do in that case.

And here is one of the landscapes from the houseboat trip.

And now I go to work.
