RocKy mOuNtain HiGh innnnnnn Colaraaaaaado!!! Good on ya Lee! Mildly chilly but wet in PDX. Hmmmmm. thinkin' the Sarge on these boards might be rootin' for Army???? Best game today. Also I am waitin' for the upcomin' "Tidy Whitey Toilet Bowl" featuring Appalachian Frontier community college A&M vs University of OMG…

Sounds great Bill with your new house plans. sometimes crowns and repairs last a long time. I had a temporary 3/4 crown cleaned, sanitized and re-cemented by a dentist in Australia as a "temporary fix" that lasted just fine another 20 years or so. Chilly and wet here in the upper 30s/low 40s. Not a great bike ride but OK.…

Good grief Lee I am with you RE CEO shooter. Fortunately I don't know of anybody that is making excuses for the horrible action. Looked up peanut butter ball OMG decadent indeed! Gosh Dave 14 years and still get in Rita's way. Longer than that for us especially in the kitchen. Had to LOL at that one. Oh Sam lots of Ts and…

Yeah Mike hope you had fun with your debut. Glad you are getting the CRV back Dave. Always annoying to have bodywork done. Enjoy the kids for one more day. Yup nice photo Lee . Never hunted Pheasants in the snow. Where I hunted them in California Central Valley it didn't snow whilst I was living there. I have just been…

Luv it Mike. My DW is one of those bell ringers in church. I too took a pict of a Bald Eagle from yesterday's bike ride but at a distance w my cell phone so not as pretty as Steve's. WOW those geese are amazing!!!! WOW Sam that suxxx about the water heater. Our water heater outfit did ours on short notice with no fuss.…

Dave: waved at Tumwater when we went to and fro to Seattle by AMTRAK train. Colder at our house than Seattle or Olympia. 26 degrees this morning and I panicked and went outside to start dealing with the outside faucet. It's OK. Had a wonderful time in a place near Gig Harbor Washington visiting the Bacon Christmas Tree…

Yeah some advantage to old mechanical auto set-ups. We drove "old" Russian vans in the Gobi Desert that had distributors, points etc. Easy to fix when they broke down. Off to Seattle by train and likely wont log back in. T-day w DS and DDIL

Yup Bill nice weather. Hope you have good luck with a place in Florence. Glad Colin did OK working so far. Off to Seattle by train tomorrow for T-day weekend.

Yeah back in the day we used to change out spark plugs and gap them ourselves annually. adjust distributor points too. One time my car was faultering after I had it tuned and I stopped at a bar parking lot and opened the hood and pulled off the cap . The guy who tuned it forgot to put the retainer atop the rotor. I went…

Late to the party here had trouble w myfitnesspal. wishing the best for Colin. Hope your new regimentworks for you Steve. I couldn't get on either Bill. Have fun walking the shoreline.

Yup Steve take care of yourself. We are all in your corner!! Yup damp and cold Bill is the norm where you are. II am suffering a bit from a stomach/intestinal bout. Wouldn't ya know it our Weightwatchers zoom group started out talking about colonoscopies to wit I said "well I guess I would be good to go". haha. got to get…

Good luck with the biopsies of DW Sam and also your pesky shoulder. Your Lodge sounds great and your cooking. Good luck Lee taking care of business and transitioning to Colorado. Filson Jackets are great as you know Dave. Have safe travels between Salem and Tumwater. Off to do stuff.

Pianos are just not fun to move for sure. Safe travels Dave. MY DW got pretty sick from the anesthesia for a lumpectomy and also for the mastectomy too. Hey lots of Ts and Ps for all and their loved ones.

Steve. Good luck getting the door handle and brakes fixed. Wow Mike sorry about all the drought and dry conditions on the East Coast. Glad you found a nice piano!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife Sam. Yup no bomb cyclone issues here either. Really less than normal somewhat gusty winds. Plenty of rain…

We ended up getting upwards of 2" of graupel mixed with hail on the roads near my house yesterday. Some folks did get some snowflakes at times too. Kinda a wild weather day. Yeah we are getting the same weather prediction as Dave with the higher wind gusts probably just offshore and some in the foothills. We might possibly…

Yup Seahawks pulled one off against the SF 49ers. I agree the ducks lack the luster of a number one team but then the also-rans have lost games. Finally the Ducks have a bye week to recuperate and get ready for Washington (never an easy game) Lee's pheasant soup sounds great for us peasants teehee. Glad ya made some money…

Yea Lee I like that quotation. My condolences added too for Babe's litter mate. All my dogs have been sweethearts and my cats too. Lots of Ts and Ps for your DW Sam and her upcoming biopsies. Glad you got an offer on your old place Bill and good luck hunting (for homes not pheasants) in Florence. Wow not familiar with…

Oh my leaves falling like crazy. Put a bunch of dry ones just before the rains and drop them off a free leaf drop site on Saturday. Also was able to mulch in some leaves with a lawn mower before the rains too. Fair amount of rain last couple of days adding up to almost 1.5" so glad I got some leaves up before the rains.…

Dave is smart about watching returns out here. We voted in a drop box and also had signed up for notification that our vote was received. I have no interest in spending too much time watching "early returns". We have stuff recorded to watch. Oh my coffee timer not working. YIKES. Sadly I push a button first thing in the…

Lee: Sounds like Colorado has your name on it!! Gosh Lee ya always have to see a man about a dog. It's what ya do. Yup Dave enjoyed the Ducks playing in the big house but the Seahawks? eh not so much. At least I have started back on my bike a bit. Cheers.

We loved loved loved staying at Honeyman State Park and experiencing the Oregon Dunes National Recreational Area. I didn't realize it goes for about 40 miles and. is the largest expanse of Dunes in North America. Also one of the largest Dunes in temperate climate. Great memories for sure!! I really haven't ridden a decent…

Back from Depoe Bay on Oregon Coast. a "TON" of rain there (over 2 inches on Saturday for sure) Nice wave crashing watching and good times celebrating DW's big 80 BD. She really is just a kid at heart!! We got over 1.33 inches in the storm From Friday to Sunday at our house in Beaverton near PDX and over .94 inches in one…

Yup add my good luck wishes too for you and your "girls" Lee at the trials. Ooooh 91 y/o Fred. Hmmm I'd be hiking slowly too Mike. Glad ya got out. We too are expecting some real rain this week-end in the PacNW. We do need it though. We will be in Depoe Bay which will be especially rainy and windy. Ah Steve ya gotta love…

Sending good Ts and Ps for Bill's DM. My heartfelt thoughts for you Steve on this special day. Nice day here today before the rains roll in.

More comments on stuff. Sorry about the bear destroying your pigeon coop and pigeons Lee. Glad you have a new DVM too. Congrats on the 100th anniversary of Field trials too. I was afraid Oregon might be #1 in College Football as everyone will be pointing to them now. Of course like Dave I was rooting for them to win and…

Been AWOL for awhile whilst down in Claremont and recovering. Sadly I too have a back issue right now. I bumped myself a bit slightly bruising my hip and tweaking my back. I did PT for my pesky shoulder anyway and seemed mostly ok with that. I slightly stepped up the shoulder PT bands before I left for Claremont which was…

Gosh Bill a great town indeed. AS a kid we loved going to Laguna Beach from Claremont. Funny but I actually slept on a surf board in San Clemente one time. We visit the Botanic Garden now known as the California Botanic Garden (formerly Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden) every year and have joined as Acorn members. My dad…

Wow bill I didn't know Claremont was in your old stomping grounds. I am flying to So Cal on Thursday to visit Claremont where I grew up (mostly grew up anyway). doing my annual "Dino Dinner" (ok not actually T.rex ribs) at the Raymond Alf museum which we are fortunate enough to be associated with and have traveled the…

No frost here but rain showers hopefully by tomorrow. Nice weather but cooler today in the 60s and 40s at night. Yup Sam I think PT is an acronym for "PATIENT TORTURE" for sure. Good luck all

Wow Lee great photo and my oh my 7 miles is a lot of hiking about on the shoots. Yup Dave Oregon one a nail-biter down to zero seconds to go in beating Ohio State 32-31. OMG Ohio State QB slides down just 1/2 second or so after the clock ran out. Game Over!!
