Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Yesterday turned out to be a very interesting day. Other than discovering a couple of registrations that are expiring, we'll have an interesting YCSA meeting tomorrow night.

Morning all. Fished 4 of 5 days last week with nothing to show for it but the river therapy was good. Might try again later but I don't think there are many or any fish in the santiam yet. Going to see (interview) a financal advisor this afternoon. Don't have a ton of riches but I have to do something with what little I have so it can work for us and we can use some of it while I can. Headed to TX/OK in a couple weeks to see the daughter and do some recon. Wanted to drive but with fuel prices it was a push on flying and renting a car. We have some ground to cover so we'll see how efficient a hybrid camery is. Supposed to get 50mpg. We'll need it for this mission.

Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Sitting at Mickey D in Mac next to Chuck Colvin Ford. F350 being serviced this morning.

I ate enough bugs to cover my share, Diana’s share and yours!

Morning all. A bit blustery last night. couple tenths of rain is all. Just enough to get things wet. I probably asked for the rain when I washed the car a couple days ago. Truck and tub need a wash but I'll wait. Might beaver up some firewood today since it's cooler.

It rained here last night. Got raindrops on the windshield on the way home from a meeting so we emptied out the back of the 350 and got that stuff under cover.

Been a very long two days. Some news but to pooped to get into right now and I’m hen pecking on the I phone.
Boat to shop in West Salem at 0800. Then we have to make a flying trip up to Bravo, get the tailgate for the F350 and get back to Alpha, picking up the boat on our way through Salem. Then business in Mac on Friday that will take up most of the day and a memorial service on Sunday.
