Random pictures around the house.

No adventures this past month, just working on chores and playing with the new ChatGPT updates.

Winding down the summer with the final show at the Gorge Amphitheater, had an incredible time. Also, removed the goat house from the backyard and went to Findlay's new PDXTrivia show in Portland the weekend prior.

Camping out in South East Oregon with a great colleague of mine with our bikes. The terrain is so surreal we drove into a lake by mistake and recovered successfully with the old adage, when it doubt, give it throttle. Multiple stream crossings, got stuck in what had to have been quicksand, and a lot of practice with moguls.

Biggest solar storm since 2005, Aurora Borealis seen right out my window.

Weekend of gardening, MotoOne show and Maryshill wine tasting.

Cruised around the area during one of our snow days.

Two week long snowstorm, house encased in 1 inch of ice. No power, well froze over, cats are loving it.

Drove to the beach this weekend with a really good videographer/photographer colleague friend of mine. Editing it still in progress, but here's a preview.
