It Is Summer!

Went to Portland to watch the Timbers.

Finally got the cove for the rod tubes done.

I can't imagine Canadian Customs having a problem with that.  US Customs might be another story. Especially with the ammo box reel case.

Turns out there was a city wide parade going on.  Luckily, I missed the street closures but got to watch part of it.

There was a cool geezer band.

 The men were playing "Louie Louie", I assumed they knew other songs but that was all I heard.

They were some hi kicking older ladies.

These young ladies were still going strong after two hours in the sun (high 80s ).

Next day we went up to Mt Tabor Park. Much larger than I would have thought. This is looking up Hawthorne to downtown. You can just make out the newest bridge at left center. Built for pedestrian, bus and trains only, it will open this fall.

 One of the reservoirs had a chlorinating site that Louis didn't want to leave.

 Something about running water.

 This is the "thousand mile stare" he gets while eating.

On the way home I noticed that it was 87 at Government Camp and 97 in Madras and 91 in Bend. Oh joy! Summer is here.
