Portland Again

Heading out to Portland this afternoon then not back there till min June. This trip is Nina's birthday and a Sunday Timbers game. It's an afternoon game, so Nina's going; she is a avid Timbers fan, just how avid depends on the color of jersey each team is wearing. If the opponents are wearing purple, sorry Timbers.

As I said, after this trip it is home fore a while. Then, in mid June, we will have the Denver contingent of the family back in Oregon. Details not yet firmed up but we will be seeing them. Meanwhile,

Finished up the storage shed.

The four slide by doors offer good access and your choice of designs.


There are still lots of spring planting to do but soon I'll be able to turn back to the important things, like fishing and woodworking.

Speaking of that I found a local musical instrument maker that is willing to do some simple woodworking for me until I procure more tools. Here is his web site; he makes an interesting bass.

This is one of his previous projects that he says he is willing to teach me to make.



Might have to do that some day.

Well, weather is perfect for a drive to Portland, so se ya soon.  Photos of Portlands newest backyard play ground to follow.

Dodge the tornados.
