Another step in the PNW direction

Today was the day that I took off the Pawnee Nation vehicle tag from the van and switched to Washington State plates.  Tammy is one step closer to vehicular freedom.  All I lack is attaching the front plate.  For some reason our front bumper does not have bolt holes for front plates.  Thanks, Ford. 
Tammy and I also picked up our new temporary Washington State drivers license.  They give you a temporary until the permanent license arrives.  Cody is somewhat distraught because she has to take a Washington State written drivers test.  The state of Washington will not recognize her learner’s permit from Oklahoma.  That’s OK, what doesn’t kill us, only makes us stronger.

For those who care I ran 1000m tempo runs yesterday.  My times were 4:40, 9:10 (forgot the lap button on that one), 4:30, 4:31, 4:38, 4:40, 4:34, and 4:20.  I was a little sore today so Jess and I ran an easy 31 minutes.  I have come to really enjoy our easy runs.  I enjoy running downtown La Conner.  The other day we mapped out a route that takes us from the house through La Conner, to the end of the pier, north along the Swinomish Channel (very sandy), down a farm road, to Laconner Whitney road, back through La Conner and then back home.  The total mileage is 7 miles.  Good times!
