Lots of rain 42.1°
No connectivity and lots of rain makes one very productive. Finished up work this morning on this built-in storage at the cabin. Match grain doors, drawers & side panel all made from CVG fir. #cabinlife #BecomingJasper #woodwork

He really has come to enjoy a good nap besides the fire. We're in the middle of an extended Thanksgiving stay at the cabin. Finishing up the new built-in and other indoor projects before the snow sets in. #BecomingJasper

It all begins with a plan! New storage idea from under the cabin's stairs. Done in matching wood (CVG fir), drawers & doors done with soft close hardware. #woodworking #fsmwoodworks #cabinets

Wet day on Hood! Just like overnight Fall has arrived on the mountain. Nemo & I are settling in with a warm fire and a soon to be nap. #mountainlife #BecomingJasper

First fire of the season. Got down to low 40's last night, moving the firewood to the porch. Forecast is for some snow on Sun/Mon. Seems way too early for that shit! Capt Nemo loves being on the mountain & in front of the fire. #BecomingJasper

Plenty different day then 24 years ago. It's good to get lost in the woods for the day. Enjoying the peace that can only be found deep within the forest. Tomorrow is a new day. #BecomingJasper

7 days into my Sept extended stay at the Cabin. The weather has changed to rainy & cooler, a welcomed change. Fire ban still in effect. The fall chore list is getting done. My test chicken sausage is Passing! Nemo is a Mt dog. #BecomingJasper

Been another great summer on the mountain, already looking forward to next year. Started fishing again this year, caught 6 right in the steam out front the cabin. Nemo has really come accustomed to mountain life! #BecomingJasper

Been so long I've forgotten how to tin some wires! Time to go back to soldering school! Does anyone know a good channel on YouTube for this? #soldering #lighting #electronics

Fishing the river may seem colder when there's a chill in the air, but it's definitely much colder when you slip on a rock and take a swim! Not sure I will warm up today. Capt Nemo was no help other than to laugh at me. #BecomingJasper

Day 2 of this July cabin stay, so it is fitting that fish #2 was caught. Spent the morning cleaning more shit out of this place, can't even begin to think how that's even possible after some 3 years of ownership. Nemo is napping. #BecomingJasper

There is nothing quite like a cool dip after a long day of working in the sun. Capt. Nemo sure didn't seem to mind. #BecomingJasper #Rottweiler #mthood

Happy Father's Day to the very best Father a son could ever have. You have shown & taught me how to be a better woodworker, fisherman, builder, dog owner, how to fix the car and so much more. Life would be so different with you out of my life...Happy Father's Day YouTube!

Chores completed! Starting to think that summers are just in preparation for winters...happy to do this when it's not in the heat of summer. Nemo was strangely helpful by removing the rounds. #BecomimgJasper #NemotheRott

June 2nd update on the hydroponic garden. 18 days since the transplant to the bucket and there has been a pretty significant growth to date. There are flowers on the Tomatillos! Just picked up 30 bato buckets for testing. #hydroponics #hydromatoes #urbangardening #gardening #pdx

This Urban garden was fully planted by May 14th, a full month earlier than last year. All from seed, 15 San Marzarno tomato, 5 Purple Cherokee tomato, 4 Tomatillo, 4 Jalapeno. Now working on 2025 experimental contributions. #Hydromatoes #hydroponics #urbangardening #garden #pdx

Spent the weekend finishing some winter chores to ensure one can really enjoy the spring on the mountain. Tried my hand at making some biscuits thanks to the @Nytimes. Unrelated, Nemo has the shits...he's blaming the Mt stream! #BecomingJasper

Getting these spouts ready for their May 15th planting! Preparing the buckets and the rest of the hydroponic setup cleaning & running this week. #hydroponicgardening #UrbanGardening

On schedule for a May 15th planting. A couple dozen of each, Purple Cherokee & San Marzarno, jalapeno & Tumatillos. #hydroponic #hydromatoes #urbanfarming

Stalks the banks looking for that right advantage point, peering for the ebbs and flows, stopping at the deep water, watching the eddie, waiting for his turn strike...too bad there's nothing today, he just may be a fisherman. #NemotheRott #BecomingJasper

Every trip to the mountain we learn something new. Today, the lesson was that #CaptNemo is not in fact faster than a hare. This was challenged several times! Lots of chores this trip. #BecomingJasper

Seems like Mt Hood didn't get the Spring memo. Spent the day hiding in the annex shop working on some prototypes for upcoming projects. CPT. Nemo is really digging the heated shop, that makes the two of us. #BecomingJasper

Rain and lots of it! - 39.9°
An atmospheric river is pointed right at us & dropping lots of the wet stuff. Camp Creek weather station currently has us at 1.57" of rain & much more to fall. ambientweather.net/dashboard/8f... Nemo does not like the rain. #BecomingJasper
