Sicking in the Rain

So, Teri developed "walking pneumonia", so named because the patients were able to walk into a medical care facility for diagnosis rather than being carried in.  Whatever, the trip to LA got canceled.  I'm a few days behind her and doing much better so far.  She's turned the corner and we should be fine for our flight to FL next Thurs. 

The weather continues to dump on us.  Ryan says, "It's Portland in the winter, get used to it".  About the only thing it really hampers is roof work; guess what I had planned.  Got the gutters cleaned out and decided to replace one run (only 10ft); so far, rain has not really gotten in the way. 

Don't see any great photo opportunities in the near future; I'll try to check out downtown Portland before we go.  Ryan says it has changed quite a bit since we have spent any time there. 

Stay well.
