Here's some pics from snowboarding on Mt Hood a few weeks back, maybe a couple months back. Snowed the entire day up there, and we had 2 inches on the car when we left. Some nice powder up there to fly down the mountain with.


Summer is about to happen in Portland, so these seem way old. Last weekend, we broke 80 degrees. Then last night there was a bit of frost. And this weekend will again be pushing the 80s. This is how we start summer in the NW. At least we've have house barbeques 3 of the last 4 Sundays. Perfect time of the week to have good weather.

We've got a bit of a garden going out back now, with cucumbers, strawberries, raspberries and beets in right now, more to come soon!

Had a little bit of fun this past Saturday at a Kentucky Derby party. It being Cinco de Mayo, just made it even more fun. I didn't choose the right horse, but made up for it by wearing a suede sportscoat. Actually was a bit sunny out here in Portland. Group pics below:
