Afterword

I need a lot of time to myself. I sneak it in when I can.

My nephew, Lincoln.

Not too bad for a map my work was gonna throw away and a frame from a second hand store. #pdx #portland #map #maps #oregon

Spent the day with my beautiful wife in Astoria for her birthday.

Celebrated 13 weeks with a hike up Smith Rock over the weekend!

Beautiful morning.

Two years ago today I bought this house in pre-foreclosure status as a short sale. It’s not the fanciest, nor the largest, neither is it the type of house I thought I wanted when I moved here. But I’m happy to make it a home with @outdoorshar. Getting there. Now, if the heat would just let up long enough for me to finish this paint job. Next summer I’m officially calling it: no maintenance, more trips!!!! #diy #rehab #rehabilitation #homeimprovement #pdx #portland #carpentry #paint #housepainting #beforeandafter #midnightblue #house #home

Hey, dude.

Snagged some old maps before the office purge. #pdx #portland #maps #map

#tbt to 2007, London Eye. Must’ve been about 175 lbs in this photo. I’d like to get back to that point. I think I still have that shirt, even though there’s no way it still fits.

Def not creepy.

It’s slow going when you have a job, but it’s starting to look like a different house (to me). I decided I’m going to take it easy on the white I think and throw in some darker accents when I’m done.

A park all to ourselves. #wildernessculture #wildflowers #pnw #oregon #pdx
