Trying to be the person my dog thinks I am. Food, gardening, family, PNW, Stardew Valley, books, football, puzzles, motorcycles, lifelong pessimist settling in to my pessimism these days, yep.
Flynn went to the farmers market today and saw some very large, conical cabbages. But his favorite part was getting a little pup cup of whipped cream from one of the lovely vendors!

This one's pretty good, too.

Oh, now that dinner preparations have begun in the kitchen Flynn is quite interested! "Whatcha making? Can I have some?" #DogsOfBluesky #heeler #cattledog #acd

At Ikea today. I don't know if someone brought their own pencil or used one of those little stubby ones from the bins by the disposable measuring tapes, but I appreciated their work.

One of the downy woodpeckers has returned! What a cutie. About the size of a plump sparrow or finch, and while I didn't have an opportunity to measure its beak I don't think the bird or its beak are big enough for it to be a hairy woodpecker. #birds

20 years ago today we brought Fawkes home. He was so beloved. Left us too soon at age 10. He was a Good Dog. #cattledog #acd #heeler #DogsOfBluesky

We had a great time at the Oregon City #NoKings protest! Fantastic turnout and the best, most positive, patriotic vibe! We protest because we love our country!

This is my baby boy Flynn! I hope your day gets better. A healthy application of Flynn is guaranteed to improve my day, always.

Flynn loved visiting the Oregon Garden in Silverton again today. He saw some turkeys and was respectful of their space. Good boy! #DogsOfBluesky #acd #heeler

Gorgeous day for a ride on the #Speed400 in the #PNW. Rain coming this week so today's ride was particularly sweet. #motosky #Triumph

The #Speed400 got its break-in service today at #Triumph Columbia River. Liz and company are absolutely the best. Had a great time chatting with new friends and having a cup of tea while the bike was serviced. Great community! #motosky

"You see? No shock. No... engulfment. No tearing asunder. What you feared would come like an explosion, is like a whisper. What you thought was the end, the beginning." RIP Mr. Redford.

Standing in my garden rn eating Sungold cherry tomatoes off the vine. They are delicious. The plant is still producing flowers--so optimistic about its lifespan as fall approaches!

It was a little chilly up in the national forest this morning but I've got sunshine on a cloudy day with the #Speed400. #motosky

It was a perfect day to ride the #Speed400 up the Clackamas River to Big Eddy. We sat in the sun and watched rafters negotiate the rapids there, listened to them shouting and laughing. #motosky #triumph

Just sick to hear about the destruction of the Grand Canyon Lodge. We spent a couple of days in one of the cabins there a few years ago and it was wonderful.
