I suppose I’ve been thinking about this post for a while, and now being a parent to 2 kids, I could say that I maybe have a little introduction into this field, but fully realize that me and my wonderful wife are at the beginning of the journey of being a parent. Not sure ifRead more
With a wedding at Timberline we finally had a reason to get a room at the lodge up there. With the air quality changing daily it was interesting to get a couple of perspectives up there. This was where the Shining was actually filmed. I dont think I have ever managed to actually watch theRead more
In the 6 (yes time flies), yes 6 years since we have lived here, somehow we have always been away for the Drink Water Rat Race. This year with scheduled Europe trip coming later in the year, I was keen on getting up to ride in what is quickly becoming one of the PNW mostRead more
