Sea Lion At Night, Afternoon Delight

Ah, I love the smell of Sea Lion in the morning.

Pretty fucking cool and loads of fun to listen to!

Astoria Is So Sweet

Had a ball with our Denver friends playing Euchre and hearts the other night. Susan shot the moon to tie for the win with Pat for Christs sake.

Andrea made it to the coast yesterday and that was awesome as well.

Plan was to head home today but, we just could not bring ourselves to do it. It was still 99 in Portland, we bolted to Astoria (it was in the 60's) instead and happy about it.

Once again click the photo for the slide show if you are so inclined...

Heater Escape Part II

Beat The Heat 2009

We drove like bandits out of town yesterday in order to beat the heat. Maybe the best decision of 2009.

It was 103 yesterday, today tracking to 105 and possibly a record over 107 and tomorrow 104. In summary, brutal. If we wanted to live in the desert, we would have moved to the desert.

At the coast it was about 83 yesterday, maybe 87 today and 86 or so tomorrow. And to think I'm smiling about those temps says something.

And... If I hear another global warming denier say its "cold" in Chicago or Minneapolis this summer, I say come out west mofos.

Thought we would share some Cannon Beach photos as well (Click the photo for the slide show)

The Great Heatwave Escape (Cannon Beach OR)

Who would of guessed it could be so fuckin awesome at the coast? Probably most anyone.

Favorite Dog Contest

The time has come and your vote should count.

Our local newsers have a cutest dog contest going and the time is now. It should be obvious who the winner should be even though we did not enter the Hugo.

I think this one would have won...


Or this one...

Urban Chicken Farming

So, it seems one of our neighbors has taken the plunge. The last couple of mornings (not too early thank god), we have heard the cluck cluck of the hens.

No Roosters to report. Either way this is an interesting development and we will have to see how they assimilate into the hood.

Toga!

This may trump the kool kat high murder mystery series.

Toga!

Does This Get Your Goat?

Or what?

WTF? This goat can't drive 55!

We saw this poor goat on I-84 East in a makeshift chicken wire trailer. He sure looks a little less sure footed than he normally would.

Reggie Deluxe Revisited

I now see that Oprah has the recipe on her website for the Reggie Deluxe.

Out And About Town

Supposed to be 94 degrees today. Heading to the basement very soon.

One Reggie D To Go Please

If you are one to believe that Gay marriage will bring the world to it's knees, then you have another thing coming. It has the sign of the beast fried into it and it is known as the Reggie Deluxe from Pine State Biscuits.

This demonic vittle has One egg, Bacon, fried chicken, cheese and gravy wedged between two parts delightful biscuit.

Thank God for Caduet I like to say.

After pounding this mother down, Susan and I went for a walk (3 miles before the heat ratcheted up) and I swear, I could smell the Reggie oozing out of my pores.

This may be an annual thing as I can hardly fathom it as a regular, although delicious, staple. Not too mention, it took me a year and 4 months of living here to gather the courage.

Here is a picture with the flash on which really makes it look intimidating.
