As I have mentioned over the past months, our son Alexander had been training in the Seattle area.
Over the past year, Alexander and his wife Jamie made changes in their lives. They wanted to raise their daughters, Nicole and Roslyn near both of their families, and be involved a community - long term.
Last spring, Alexander decided to leave the US Marine Corp, and pursue a career in law enforcement in the Seattle area. In between being "Mr. Mom", and college student, he made many trips to the Puget Sound, testing for the three largest jurisdictions in the area. It was a grueling process, physical testing,
written tests, essays, and interviews, another round of interviews, psychological, and lie detector, another round of physical, more essays, and interviews/panels with top officers and detectives from each department.
With thousands of candidates for each, Sheriffs, and Police Departments, Alexander was in the top 1% of each agency.
During all of this, Jamie stayed home with their daughters, Nicole and Roslyn. You may recall, we visited them in November. We took pictures of her at Fort Eustis, in her office. Sergeant First Class, Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, for the Brigade and Installation, Jamie is also in the Army Airborne.
On Thursday, February 6, Alexander "Changed Uniforms," from Marine Corps blues to King County Sheriff's Deputy Green. He was sworn in by the new King County Sheriff who ironically began his career at Island County Sheriff's Office in 1975; where Michael still works!
Alexander spent the past five months at the Washington State Basic Law Enforcement Academy graduating as president of his class with honors, along with thirty truly dedicated young men and woman.
He has five more weeks of extensive, King County Sheriff's Deputy training and another year of field training.
My Father Kenny, his grandfather attended the Ceremony; he graduated in 1947, Michael in 1988 both from the same academy. Alexander is the third generation of our family to join Law Enforcement!
Soon Jamie and the girls will be here...And that is another Story!

The wobbling is not from machine, but from the table. The table is just a couple of thin masonite sheets with loosely packed paper between. Because doll sewing do not really require top speed the need to replace table is not big.
But when I am using the serger (not seen in this vid) it is really wobbling much, that the small stuff will jump around and fall down. ;)
EDIT:
This is my main machine, the Pfaff Hobbymatic 919 from end of 80's (or mid 80's?)
metal internal, 75% metal shell.
I may post video when I am sewing on serger and the vintage 50's Pfaff 332! (the two ones are to left of this machine, so you can't see them)
The machine in background is Brother Innovis 1200. I do not play well with electronic machine so now I only use its embroidery part. If I had known that I would naturally buy a embroidery-only machine!
EDIT: And now I am not entirely sure because I am deaf, but if you are hearing computer fans and all that, yes I have a big hulk of computer opposite side, facing this sewing machine! (I do not play well with laptops, it is the keyboard layout....)

The morning news was abruptly interrupted by a surround sound test, followed by person holding a clapperboard, then a fake newscast with a fictitious banana company, and finally a strange HD test pattern seen here. Here is some video of the test pattern.
Arriva North West 2344 (V574 DJC)
This is one of my personal favorites that I have taken over the years (Despite the focal point)
2344 (V574 DJC) is seen here coming out of the Queensway Tunnel whilst working it's second day at Laird St, It was see here on the Chester - Liverpool 401 service with a very reasonable load. Also noticeable is the "PA System on test" sign from when Merseytravel where conducting annoying sound tests on the emergency and evacuation system.
Our humble new podcast studio, with new kit.
You may wish to listen to a podcast discussing it. Not a regular mrbrown show, but a sound test and audio tour of the mrbrown show podcast studio. Only listen if you are interested in our podcast gear. Though there is a fun little recording I included at the end of the show.

Next was a sound test. Turned the gains on the amps all the way down; picked a radio station, and checked each speaker for sound by walking around and putting my ear to each one. I made this into a game for my son.
During my physical training for BPI building envelop inspector certification...we go outside to measure gas meter! BIG LEAK! Hear the meter going off! YES, the sound test equipment making is that it found leak:BIG, HERE NEXT TO LIVE ELECTRICAL WIRES! The SDG&E sub-contractor to who put in the new forced to each residence, "smart"meter! Too bad the sub-contractor wasn't smart! Because THIS CAN BLOW UP THE HOUSE, and US to as we test! This is one of two houses we were tested at, the other one had bad flow in furnace area causing dirt air in the house...it too had small gas leak, here kitchen, under stove/sink! People don't know they are polluting themselves, continually and/or regularly! That is why is it why to get out of house regulary, fresh air!, and also to see nature, which has proven to help mental health! PEACE! Be good to your family & self, get an inspection, and regularly enjoy great outdoors/nature we have here in San Diego County: @WalkwithhimFcbk :FREE!

Today we had a try out of the newly refurbished and acoustically altered Butterworth Hall It looks nice and the sound is good for some things, but alas not for others. Still this was but an acoustic test, there is plenty of time for adjustments!!
A replica of the English Stonehenge sits on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River in Washington. It was the first memorial to honor U.S. soldiers killed in World War I.
This Stonehenge is the creation, not of Druids, but of Sam Hill, a dreamer and entrepreneur who founded the Maryhill community along the shores of the Columbia in the early 1900s.
Memorial Honors Local Fallen Soldiers
Back then it was generally believed the English Stonehenge was built for human sacrifice. Hill believed that war was mankind’s greatest sacrifice. Thus he built his own Stonehenge to honor Klickitat County soldiers who died in World War I. Plaques bearing the names of the 13 soldiers killed in this war are attached to the inner circle of pillars.
Located in Klickitat County in southcentral Washington, Stonehenge was dedicated in 1918, but not completed until 1930. Hill died shortly after that and is buried on a hillside about 50 feet below his Stonehenge. A few hundred yards to the north is a newer memorial, this one bearing the names of local soldiers killed in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
The dedication plaque at this Stonehenge reads:
In memory of the soldiers of Klickitat County who gave their lives in defense of their country. This monument is erected in the hope that others inspired by the example of their valor and their heroism may share in that love of liberty and burn with that fire of patriotism which death can alone quench.
While made of concrete, instead of stone, Washington’s Stonehenge is sufficiently similar to the real thing that British researchers from the University of Huddersfield descended upon Maryhill in July 2008 to conduct sound tests, in an effort to determine how sounds worked in that ancient English formation.
Views of Mighty Columbia Are Stunning
The English Stonehenge sits on a plain. Washington’s Stonehenge, on the other hand, sits on a high bluff which offers commanding views of the Columbia River Gorge for miles and miles. The small community of Maryhill is located below the bluff. This community is made up mainly of orchards which operate fruit stands in the summer.
Washington’s Stonehenge is located on Highway 14, about a mile east of the junction with Highway 97. It is visible from both roads, but the entrance is on Highway 14. Stonehenge is open year-round; there is no admission charge, except for special activities sponsored by Maryhill Museum of Art. The museum schedules plays, poetry readings and other activities during its open season, which runs from March 15 to November 15.
This Stonehenge Is Part of Maryhill Museum Complex
The American Stonehenge is part of the Maryhill Museum of Art complex. The Maryhill Museum is located three miles to the west on Highway 14. Highway 14 runs parallel to Interstate 84 in Oregon. Freeway travelers should exit at Biggs Junction, then cross the Sam Hill Bridge on Highway 97 to connect with Highway 14. Maryhill is located about 12 miles south of Goldendale, Washington, the nearest town of any size.
Highway 14 in Washington State is both desolate and stunning. On one side are golden rolling hills filled with orchards, crops and wind farms. On the other side is a verdant valley through which the mighty Columbia flows.
Tucked into the middle of all of this scenery in the tiny town of Maryhill, Washington sits Washington State’s very own Stonehenge.
Built in the early 1900s by Sam Hill (what in the Sam Hill? Yeah - that guy) as a memorial to WWI soldiers from Klickitat County who died in the war, Washington’s Stonehenge is a full-sized, near exact replica of the original. Walking through its symmetrical layout and peeking at the crops that show between its pillars, one almost expects to see a crop circle.
The drive and the views are gorgeous. The wind is ferocious (hence the wind generators, I suppose). If you need more than scenery and a roadside oddity, you can also stop in Maryhill and visit the Maryhill Winery and Maryhill Museum, which is Sam Hill’s former mansion on the Columbia. The museum is (as many mansions are) rumored to be haunted.

[5:23pm]
I had a concert with J4J today so after I crawled out of bed at around 12 and I did some stuff around the house, we went over to Barefoot Community Church around 3. We did some sound tests for about an hour to get the levels right and after singing a few songs as practice Jeremy, Chelsea and I drove to McDonalds for dinner.
We talked mainly about Monty Python and I was kinda suprised at the fact that most of them had "Quest for the Holy Grail" almost memorized. Scary.
Do you ham and Jam and Spam alot?
We got up to leave and once we got to the car we realized that Jeremy had lost his keys. It took him a while but he finally realized that he had thrown them away with his food. So he had to go and dig through the trash to find them.
Brilliant.
Anyway once we got back I walked around and took some more pictures and got set up for the show.
From 6 to 7 the younger group did their thing, and then Jeremy showed his video that he did for Heath a 10yo who's had a heart transplant. The entire concert was dedicated to him and all the money that they made from it was given to his family to help cover the medical costs. After that Heath had a drum solo and then it was our turn.
My piano solo was decent, actually It was pretty good considering I'd never played standing up before. My leg shakes when I'm playing piano in front of people for some reason, I guess its nerves or something, but anyway it made it difficult for me to stand up. Of course It'd would have been funny had I just fallen down in the middle of a song.
I played a 2 more songs on the piano and the rest I played guitar. It was alot of fun but mildly nerve racking because I lost my music prior to the show, somebody had picked up my music by accident (Or So I though), so I was out of luck when it came to that.
But of course Idiot me forgot that I had put it back in my case so it was there the entire time.
Anyway the show was great, I had alot of fun and hopefully we raised alot of money for Heath and his family, but now its late, I'm watching Monty Python and I'm going to bed.
It's been a long weekend...

Joy wasn't feeling well, so I let her sit behind the capo on my guitar for my video/external mic test (she promised to sit VERY still). Conclusion on the test: Record the sound to the computer and mix sound and video in the editing process!
The song is called "Til ungdommen". This arrangement of the song, is one I made in honor of the victims in the Oslo bombing and Utøya shooting last year. Full version of the song with Norwegian lyrics and pictures of the victims is on youtube.
