(phew) Good thing I didn't wear my formal flannel. If I had known there was supposed to be a runway, we could have arranged something with the Art Museum. Their really long wheelchair ramp on the Park block side would have been perfect. They are having a showing of stylish athletic shoes. aka - Nike...

What moron puts a swastika, Russian flag, and Confederate flag up together? Tell us you're a Nazi without telling us you're a Nazi. Telegraph that all you want. Just don't argue you're also a patriot.

It is gorgeous, but you can see why the US Govt thought it was far enough away from population to develope the first quantities of fissile material out there. The Hanford reactor is just a few hours north and east of where I was standing. I've been there a few times too, but they discourage photos. ...

Not many people look like a ventriloquist puppet.

I never used any of those. I had a direct internet connection for a while through Beaverton Technical Library. Then switched to IBM.net before dropping my board entirely, and returning to life as a user only. My little board got completely clogged by internet users, and I didn't feel like putting in...

And thanks especially to you for putting this together, BoB and I had a great time getting to know you and Whatever4! :thumbsup: I'm glad I scrolled up. I almost missed this. You are very welcome DD. I enjoyed our time together. And it was my pleasure to come up with a rally point and meeting place...

You're welcome. This is where the tribes made their lives, and what the pioneers had to cross to establish a new home. They had another 70 miles to go to reach someplace hospitable. Those snow peaked mountains above are part of a range that scrapes the moisture from ocean air. West of the range it's...

I am late to this conversation, and not sure if there's time, but I highly recommend a day trip through the Columbia River Gorge, at the very least a stop at Multnomah Falls, but lots of waterfalls and easy (or not so easy) hiking trails. I think I saw a mention of liking art, so if there's time a ...

Perfect. I love good invective. She is a clue mosquito.

Thank you all for a wonderful evening. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you, and to break bread with you. I truely enjoyed every moment. The 411 - we met at the park blocks as planned then adjourned to Higgins an hour early. It wasn't abysmal outside, but it was threatening. And there was no plac...

Indeed I am. I'll do my best to not look like a bear attacked. Plus I'm sporting my formal flannel**. Nothing but the best. Puttin the good foot forward ... ** Formal flannel may have been warshed as recently as last month, and always hung back up with other shirts, not wadded up in the laundry hamp...

I think that was back when hobos were all over the place.

Nice! You found Washington Park. It was a beautiful clear day yesterday. Great temp. Good view of the mountains. I'm glad you got some of that time. Weather report all week said rain was possibly starting Friday. A low pressure system is blowing in from Alaska. Now it says 60% chance of rain this af...

Seen elsewhere - Tesla is required to recall all 4000 Cybertrucks.

Or, and hear me out on this one.

Those daze are behind me.

... just getting back from Tillamook ... I'll find out. They used to line Park avenue. But there may well be some at Waterfront. The Waterfront is a good place to visit in its own right. Should be relatively quiet. The next scheduled event is Bridges to Brews on Sunday Apr 21. Starts at 7am. People ...

Hi and welcome to Portland(ia) W4.

I think you're referring to specific instructions on our meeting place Saturday. I propose we meet 5pm in the park at SW Park and Jefferson. It's right in front of the art museum, and a half block from our 6pm dinner reservation.

Oh, warped floors are the best. Oh yeah. It's one way to keep people out of your kitchen.

So, I've loaded the dishwasher, and I'm going to run it. Wish me luck.

Then it's off to Home Depot to buy a new washer dryer set, and have them delivered next week. My dance card is all full up for this week.

Reservation confirmed.

I have four of these tees left - three XL and one 3XL. I'll bring them all. And some cheese curd. I have a service call to Tillamook tomorrow.
