Need a shirt… Odd Shad Years

School boards a few years would consider you terrorists and ban ya if ya spoke out. 😳😉

Competencies… I still have my dot matrix printout when I attended school in the late 70s/early 80s. This and having grandparents a couple of generations away from Oregon homesteaders served me well thru life. 😉 Ps: I was going thru boxes in the garage. I still had my tax returns and W-2s from...

The year 1976 in general… The Freedom Train and a Bicentennial rug that I still have.

Y’all get all the luck… Bone dry in the Mid-Willamette Valley 🙁

This work week has seemed real odd…challenges galore. I wished I could have got off early. Heck, I didn’t get to eat lunch till 2:00pm and the day started early too. Glad to read about a sunny fishing adventure…that brightened the evening for me. 😁

Amber or bronze are my go to(s) with polarized lens…low light or bright…I enjoy those.

In Oregon, Oregon OSHA may...

One early June evening, I drove over the I-5/ N Umpqua bridge. The hatch was thick, I had all windows down including moon roof. It took quite a bit of washer fluid to get that gunk off the window; even brought a couple home with me. What a sight…! 😁

Not to mention 120 - 140 F degrees.

A LOT of people were/are at least one person away from knowing someone involved…myself included way down here in Oregon. Truly a sad day… 🙁

Sweet Home Oregon’s USPS office is prone to the same behaviors. People in that tiny town are really fed up.

Disappointed…it stayed away… 😭

They are good size. One night me and the boy heard a loud screech/scream outside. Went out to see what’s up. Walked under some me redwood branches and pointed the flash light upward. Imagine see a large bird with piercing eyes staring down at you less than 10ft above your head. I think I may...

Please stand-by as I wipe the drool and make sure my iPhone is still functional. Damn I’m hungry now and it’s after 8:30pm.
