Apparently its been raining– quite a bit more than I thought it had
been. Two boats that I had in the water were pretty full. Woops. The
one took about 10 minutes with a bucket to drain, the other one has had
the bilge pump running for about 15 minutes and its still going. [...]

If you haven’t heard yet, Matt and I didn’t go all the way to Devil’s
Peak last night. We hiked maybe half way up the mountain, but with

and enjoy a nice dinner [...]

My key broke off in the door of my Aspire today. This is the second
key I have broken in this car. Makes me wonder if there was a recall
or something?? Probably not, but it sure is annoying. Now I am in the
back seat of a friends car driving back to the island [...]

The fire pager went off early this morning, well it was 7:26am. That’s early considering I’ve been up at 6 most of the week and was looking forward to sleeping in. With all the wind and rain last night, gale winds that is, a barge broke free on the Willamette river and washed ashore [...]
