From an Earlier Web

Taking in the sights (and smells and tastes).

City by the bay.

Her parents got jokes

#hooverdam

Everyday she’s hustlin'. #thugkitchen

Searched for a filter to hide the hangover. Alas, it does not exist. Me and ma, wrapping what seemed like 1,000 gifts today. I need a vacation from my vacation.

Sledding!!!

Growing up too fast!!!

Had to #dib

Hanging out with my favorite for the day before I scoot off to the wintry Midwest.

Here, have a seat.

Lazy Sundays.

St Johns Winter Beer Fest

Project maple radio progressing.

Something I’ve been saving.

Reusing some maple flooring to make a Bluetooth stereo.

Black Goldendoodle going home with us in a couple weeks. Shar’s pretty excited!

Lounging and loving with full hearts and bellies on thanksgiving. Watched ‘Bad Moms’ at the request of my mom. Left my keys in her parents kitchen; came in two hours late to work today. “Floating Holidays” replaced auto…

My lil Eskimo.

A year ago she walked into a bar and I’ve been her chauffeur ever since. She must be doing something (all the things) right.

What the hell is this thing

Pomeroy Place Veterans Housing groundbreaking!

Board of County Commissioners approve funding for homeless veterans' housing. Not a difficult sell, but a win nonetheless.

Date night at the ice skating rink. #luckydude

I don’t, either. #idgaf #1dgaf #alaska #licenseplate

Heartless Bastards.

Worked in the yard again last night, trying to make it into something sane. Lots of tree limbs and debris and old toys and junk left from the old renters. Drank some beer and burned some branches under the guise of a re…

Another exciting training at a HUD field office.

Hey boy-see

Who’s laughing now, Google Street View?

Off to a good start.

King for a day.

Someone in the building didn’t like the gendered restroom signs.

Leaves turnin' on my quiet street. Fall in the air.

Looks like a nuke went off in Portland.

Wrapping up a pretty decent weekend. Ahh

I love that this little house has a huge redwood in its yard.

Even the strip malls…

The most physically demanding thing I’ve done (so far).

Well, I think that’s a little bit of an improvement. Exploring paint options.

Stuff happening.

Happy 30th to this goofball, the light of my life. May the love and happiness you share with others return to you tenfold.

Enter:suburbia. Closing next week 😬

And my heart will go on

Post white water rafting. First of many, so much fun.

Stop off at Buoy.

Pretending to know what I’m doing

Pops looking pretty excited about pizza and beer after a long day in the gorge yesterday.

Shoots n ladders.

It’s just ok. #nofilter

Does not suck.

Ramona Falls

Fording the rapids.

Super proud of this amazing woman for completing her MSW today. Looking forward to many more weekends like this one (sans homework!)

“I’ve always loved infiltration. To me, that’s what punk rock has always been about: going where you don’t belong without anyone noticing until it’s too late. It’s not about how you dress. So, I think we chose the venue…
