Too early for this

So I forgot I made this panorama of the houseboats when I went to Sauvie's Island a little while back. I found it when I was going through my hard drive this morning. Randomly waking up at 5:30 in the morning can do strange things to ya.

You know those times when you're sitting around with nothing to do, whether it's a slow day at work, or school, or waiting for something. Sometimes you sit and stare, sometimes you think to yourself, sometimes you doodle. These are some doodles I've done during some of the slower moments I've had at work.

"Drawing Stupid Shit, Does not make you cool!"

Like two weeks ago the weather was really nice, and I was able to get out and get a bunch of skating in. It was rad. On one particular day I made the drive down to Donald and Newburg. Donald had just gotten a fresh paint job and was looking pretty nice. There was even a little note to the locals, who over the years I've seen tag some of the most retarded shit that bowl.

The rest of these photos are from earlier today. I hopped in the car with my friend who had to drive up to Scappoose to run some errands. I figured I'd never been there, and it was a chance for some quality time with one of my friends, so why not?

Ok, first off, the other day I wake up in the morning, go out to check the mail, and this is the first thing I see.

What the fuck right?

Anyways.... The weather has been getting nicer out lately, which has let me get outside and wander around more. That, plus the fact that I came up on a sweet little digital camera lately, should probably mean a little more action here on the blog. Here are some of the shots from the new digital cam. I accidentally had the time and date stamp on for a few of the shots, which is why you might notice they're cropped a little weird.

It's been a while.....

Got a little bummed when I saw this little guy today.

But it really wasn't that bad, because he looked pretty cool. This other little guy, that happened to be right by my formerly flightless friend, also helped me keep smiling.

"broken glass, needles, shit"

I haven't done a post in a little while so I went through and found these few that never made it up. These three photos were on the same roll of photos that I used the last time it snowed here. So that should give you a little reference to when these are from. You'll also notice the bank that made it into some color photos last year. Also if you take a look at that handy little banner at the top of the page you should see something familiar as well. Anyways I just really like these pictures because they show how gritty the spot is. It's very frequent that you'll go down there and there will be all sorts of broken glass, needles, shit, shopping carts, and what not that you have to clean up before you can skate. But once you get that shit cleaned up it's a completely bust free spot. One of my favorites in town. That's all for today. Have a happy new year.

It's a gamble, double down or don't.

Some days you've just got to walk. This day started with Casey, Lacey, and I walking up to Mt. Tabor. Once we got to the top, we took a short break and decided, instead of heading back, to keep moving forward. We walked for a few hours that day, and covered some good ground. Got some good food, and saw a tree that turned into a fish. Had Ice Cube been there, he would've said "it was a good day".
