Olmsted Bank

money in the bank

Broke into this bank years ago on eBay, saving it for this moment. The analog counters move the date when you insert coins and it even came with a key to the vault. Always loved little banks. Now G-son is old enough to operate and will give it to him.

The Olmsted Bank was robbed in 1926 . Olmsted is the county seat in Minnesota and home to it's largest city Rochester, founded by David Olmsted. The bank in is now  Goonies Comedy Club .

The tradition continues. This digital bank counts the money automatically and displays how much has been deposited. We'll see if he prefers the old school version.

Believe it or not, I taught G-son how to create a tall building out of blocks. You just have to have a flat base to build on as the soft carpet alone has a lower tolerance limit. He prefers to knock them over, however, rather than building them up. Timing is everything.

Climbed Hadley Mountain to see if it would loosen up the stiffness I'd been feeling in my hip. Strangely, it worked - so far, it seems much better. Hope I can bank on it.

Hadley overlooks the Great Sacandaga. It was nice up there, if you like that sort of thing. The sort of thing you can't put a price on.

Back at home, it's just as nice. The geese are drawing interest with all that honking on their migration route.
