Good morning to the Smorgasbord!
Joel have a great off! The salmon and steelhead are in the Snake and Columbia you might like to take your boat out and catch some! Seems like a good run this year!

My boat needs work so I will just watch.
 
Aaaaand the power is out for 2 hours. I just turned on the coffee so this is great.
 
i hear you!! yeah that was me!:) still wish i could make it through all of them! at least then maybe i could figure out what the peanut:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing: thing is about!!
Peanut is their nickname for Amanda. It's usually a race to see if Joel, Kev, or Walker can say "Goodnight Peanut" to her first after she says she's heading for bed.
 
Aaaaand the power is out for 2 hours. I just turned on the coffee so this is great.
have to light a fire outside and make coffee cowboy style with the grounds in your sock.

I don't think I'd have to build a fire, just make it Sun Tea style?
 
Power came back on about an hour and a half ago though. I drank a Starbucks Vanilla Double Shot Espresso and then made my real coffee when the power came back.

You were living like a Neanderthal there for a couple hours!
 
Just spent 45 minutes scraping the coralline off the bottom glass.
It's cool when it covers the bottom but it also starts getting scratchy picking up everything along the way if that makes sense.
I'll post a photo when the water isn't pink anymore.

I never have that problem, mine is spotty and constantly decreasing and increasing, repeatedly.
