Look at that grin! Look at that beast of a chainsaw and excavator! And he let's us play with those toys when we visit home! And you know what, if you went to say hi I bet he would let you play with them too!!!! :)

Did you also see their partner in crime in the lower part of the frame with the fire? That's Buster dog and he makes a perfect trio with Mom and Dad :)

What do you say!? Want to go play in their woods riding four wheelers and building fires all day? Who's with me!?!? LET'S GO!!!!

"Marry your best friend. I do not say that lightly. Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark."

Some other things that have been going on around here - I ended up moving my computer over to our place while we're crashing with Adam's mom to help with staying focused on work during the day. It's nice and keeps me much more concentrated but I do miss the comings and goings and of course having two of the best coworkers ever, read: dogs. 1. Cleaning out the gutters. 2. Cutting concrete, pouring concrete, shaping concrete. 3. Paddle-boarding in the ocean. 2025, lets hit it: I strongly disliked paddle-boarding y'all. I bought the damn thing sitting in Northern California thinking I was so clever utilizing my delicious outdoor gear discount before I departed the industry. Now, at 40, its easy to admit an...

better yet was the three to four feet that were sticking out the back window on the way back from La Grande to Portland :) would you believe me if I told you there were TWO of them in there?! Now that I've scored a bit more time shall we explain how those two trees ended up back there in the first place? Look right, look left, THAT GUY :) Last minute decision to go home for a couple days to see Mom and Dad for Thanksgiving always leads to some play up in the woods in the Jeep and a check in on the 'dozer. Clearly we weren't the only ones happy to be up there. I think we paused for two seconds at a photo op and were greeted by this guy saying, "Hey guys, why'd you stop?" Seriously, he knows how to work those ears to get anything. And when I say anything I mean anything, he even got some of this tastylicious spread! Dad was feeling mighty proud of his turkey presentation and after some selective taste testing to make sure the turkey was in fact 'edible...
