you mean matress world.. and i bet sherry hiner in her prime was a freak in the sack.. just saying LOL ( she has that ora about her)

ive seen my father in law drive from his house to my house (a good 5+ mile drive) with a coffee cup still on the bumper of his truck.. still steaming warm too hahah so its possible that they just had other plans for the coffee? to add to the story he drank from it like he didnt miss a beat..


after the basement is done then its time to celebrate ill have more freedom =).. probably wont sell it just yet though portland house market is going up.. so it will be a rental and we will just get a new place =)

Kinda thought the same thing.
Or maybe it's an on-line PR stint (Oh, we care, look at the cute little ducks I saved intead of doing the "Pit Maneuver" on that teenager). Honestly, the guy may have been speeding, but 52?? It looks more like 44mph to me.

52 going down that hill is easy to do.. but most do 40-45.. only till that spot cause cops hang out there regularly.. after that its game on.. the problem is its considered still a highway per oregon law you can claim the basic rule if conditions are decent.. unfortunetly for the car at that time it was raining.. so probably wasnt smart

Gotta do something to keep myself entertained down here in the basement. It was hot as hell down there yesterday. I would complain, but I think others before me have tried to fix the problem without success.

Brought my goretex today. Gonna be a shitty afternoon commute.

Thank god I don't have to ride my bike to and from work.


I never could understand why people who don't have a DUi ride their bikes in the rain.

Someone brought home "Whole Wheat Angel Hair" pasta the other day. I was excited until I saw the "Whole Wheat" on the label. Sorry, I've had it before and it tastes like shit. Not only that, but because it's "Whole F'n Wheat" it falls apart after you cook it. I would need a spoon to eat it. If I'm gonna eat pasta with a spoon, it better be "Spaghetti o's!"

Nearly everything has some form of wheat in it, at least most of the good stuff. Given Preston's gluten issues we have learned just how much wheat there is out there

Suddenly got a surge of burger craving after all that chit chat above.

Should do a meet at Helvetia Tavern next time. Never got a chance to try out that place yet.

It's different. We prefer udis white bread or hamburger buns because the taste is similar. The biggest change is texture. The gluten free is a bit stiffer, not like stale bread, but not like traditional bread

Helvetia tavern is awesome!

Great food, great service. A real cheezy slice of America (pun intended). Carrie's great aunt used to own it.

Flame broiler at the bar. We still buy meat direct from the ranch and I have pretty much mastered the home burger. Now I just need a nice day without rain.

Even in the wettest summers we usually get into more predictable nice weather after the 4th. June is typically damp.

When Britt and I tied the knot back in 08 on July 6th it rained every day in June and rained through the 4th. We were freaked out since we were having an outdoor wedding, last minute ordered a bunch of canopies etc... Woke up on the 6th to sunshine and upper 70s and it stayed nice for the rest of the summer. Just kind of a typical northwest spring right now heh, makes no determination of what summer will bring
