Topless Thursday at Hood Tech

Hot today, Topless Thursday at Hood Tech.

Maurizio gets Air

Maurizio swinging into the pond in the orchard.

After work, I walked down to the pond in the orchard to chuck a stick for Foster. Maurizio and two friends came down and got air off the rope swing. I got motivated and took a turn after them.

Evening Roses

Its just out of control.

Soccer Injury

Peter went up to head the soccer ball and came down with a bloody nose. Walter illustrated the event.

Road Trip: Hood River to San Francisco

Friday night, we stayed at Mc Menamin's Old St . Francis School in Bend, Oregon.St. Francis is my favorite saint, probably because of the dogs.

Lambing

After Kakumyo's wedding, we stopped at Clatskanie and there were some day-old lambs at a farm.

Cat in the piano, funny.

Coming up Roses

Roses grow like dandelions here. Can't keep them down.

Small is $.69, medium is $.89.

Getting the Garden In

The lettuce is coming in.

Here is the whole garden. I've put down grass clippings as a mulch. Foster is doing "Downward Dog" in the background. He practices yoga every morning while I tend the garden.

Its a good climate for roses.

Tomato Planting

I'm planting six tomatos in this fruit bin filled with soil from Lucia's garden. Here's hoping they grow.

Fiber Optic Sensors

I moved my fiber optic sensor assembly project into the new barn. I used to make them in the breezway, but other projects moved in there. Here is the view out the window.

Beast in the Sun

Foster is hanging out in a spot of sun in the new barn. Why am I always finding myself living and working in half-constructed barns?

Not a Ticket

I thought I had a ticket, but its just a receipt from the gas. In Oregon (and NJ) people can't pump their own.

Garden, Before Planting

The garden is all prepared and ready to plant.

Cannon

En route to PDX, I saw this minivan towing a cannon. The driver was bearded, like a civil war reenactor.

Go Dog Go

Lydia, from Apland Jewelers, is taking Foster for a walk this morning along with two of her dogs along the Columbia River Historic Highway (don't worry, its closed to cars). Here he is in her back pasture playing with Lydia's dog whose name escapes me.
