I've Got Cars And Crabs

First off, more cars from the hood (tail first of course)...

This one makes you want to roll a pack of smokes in your shirt sleeve

And it seems apropos to pull out your pipe and smoke it in this little number (P1800)

 

Now on to the crab!  We had a great night out with our posse at Bar Avignon last night.  They were serving up Dungeness crab and wine of course.  Nancy, Randy and staff did us up right once again!

This is our third crab of the year and see no reason to cut off the pipeline.

Spring Forward?

The sun is out, it's 52 degrees already and it was supposed to rain all day.  So much for Dave Salesky and his daring weather reporting.

Anyway, got out with Hugo and headed up to Peet's to pick up some more Arabian Mocha Java beans.  We snapped off a couple of photos on the way...

 

 

Post Apizza Scholls Tankard Pop In

We had a great dinner with Jim, Evyl K and Josie on Wednesday night.

Susan and Krystin got on their Captian's look for Ellen behind the bar..

You must pay the rent.

I can't pay the rent!

You MUST pay the rent!

 

And then there's Hugo...

 

Out And About Portland SE

We jumped at the chance to take a stroll with the Hugonot today in between the rains.  A balmy 54 degrees and glad we could get outside.

Here are a few photos from the outing...

 

 

 

Where Have All The Sea Lions Gone?

Hum along to "Where Have All The Flowers Gone"...

Well we have an answer to the question as to why the Seal Lions disappeared from Pier 39 in SF recently. Coincidentally, we were staying at Bella Beach over New Years... and saw... Sea Lions!  Lots of 'em.

Hat tip to Thea for pointing this out right away on the trip (and the article from sfgate here)...

 

We also saw a flock of Pelicans which is odd for the Oregon coast in January and it all seems tied together as the article explains.

Here are some other photos from the weekend (click on the link or photo to go to the web album)...

Morning Glory

As it happens more and more as we get older, sleep deprivation can have a red lining...

As we were reading this early morning, I noticed the curtains were emanating a red hue and decicded to grab the camera.  Nice shot and rare for a Portland morning in January to say the least.

Dumbasusual??

Bubbly Baby

Wish Evyl K and Jim Were Here!

Oh I forgot, they are here.

Thanks to Michael, we had a delightful pancake and bacon breakfast this am. 

Happy New Year!
