Hood Canal Bridge Cables

by

A Timberton resident found an article about the cable replacement on the Hood Canal Bridge. The one that caused that big delay several weeks ago in getting the bridge open after a closure (The Web Guy took that ‘opportunity’ to take the scenic route home that day), and the work that is being done by those big tugs and ‘crane boats’.

The resident found it interesting, as did The Web Guy, a recent transplant. Here’s the article, in case you are interested. At the very least, you can appear knowledgeable about how the bridge works if the subject ever comes up.

Mystery Spot #7

by

The Web Guy was reminded that there hasn’t been a new Mystery Spot for a while. So he dug around in his pile of Mystery Spot pictures and came up with this one:

Mysteryspot-07It is a little off of the beaten path. But The Web Guy was puzzled when he saw it. There must be some special historical significance to why it was placed where it was.

Use the comments area below to make your guess of where this Mystery Spot is. Or come up with the reason (real or fictional) why this item is where it is.

Use your imagination, because The Web Guy certainly doesn’t have an imagination.

Road Work on Timberton Drive

by

Jefferson County Public Works has confirmed that they have contracted to have asphalt replaced in four separate sections of Timberton Drive, beginning on Tuesday, September 22, 2015.

The work is expected to progress quickly and one lane will remain open at all times. Little or no disruption of traffic is expected.

Rich Durbin, TVHA Vice President

(If you look carefully, there are small white L-shaped marking on the road that indicate the road work locations – Rick, the web guy, who know a lot about a few things, but not much about everything.)

Yogi Alert

by

A Timberton neighbor reports a “Yogi sighting”:

Please spread the word that we have a bear in Timberton. He hopped up on our deck at 44 Leighbrook Lane this morning. Walter said he was “big”. I was upstairs at my computer, heard a noise and caught a glimpse of a large brown body. Walter did his grizzly bear act and the bear scurried off into the woods.

Keep an eye on loose pets. And make sure that you don’t have any outside feeding dishes…bears like pet foot too, and it may want to return for its next meal.

Information on co-existing with bears? One source is here; there are many others if you ‘ask the googles’: http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/bears.html

Stay safe!
