5 episodes down, 116 to go. Damn netflix will keep me up til midnight

We went up onto Powell Butte to test out Ingrid’s new boots and pack.

Ingrid and Karen ran the Romp To Stomp snowshoe race up on Hood. It was a warm and perfect day. Ingrid and I played around in the snow afterwords practicing some climbing techniques.

Christmas in Portland and down in Corvallis.

I finally got to painting the hole in the hallway that I patched the week I moved in, over 5 years ago. And some picture molding went up along with more paint. Ingrid got some new hats and walked them up Mt. Tabor with her ma.

I saw we had actual potatos in the yard after throwing a few spuds in the ground instead of the compost. I tried out making Spanish Tortilla with them. The potatos resisted being dug up, but in the end the oil, the knife and I won out and a Tortilla was made.

Rocky decided to roll around in composted animal scat so we washed him twice. I was mean and washed him outside in the cold and rubbed the shampoo in with ice. Ingrid did the second clean with warm water – no wonder he yaps at me. After losing a tug-of-war match with Tabitha I went outside and scared myself with a new dado blade while making a new bookshelf.
