Took a little trip to Washington ...

[Troike]

Had to get out of the ghetto for a while.
Started out waiting to get my dub back [now chipped!], then took off for portland airport, detouring to mt st helens on its 18th anniversary.

Highlight of the trip was going to Olympia and Seattle, where I'd never been ..

one port of many:

I drank a lot of coffee :o

Then I had to drive another 400 miles thru snow and mountains to central oregon and back to salem again in time for home drama ... vacation was nice while it lasted :tup:
