Scattered showers here in Gresham. Brisk SW wind at 13 mph. Humidity 72%.
The temp here at 1:30 PM is only 59F.

Mt. Hood has received its first snowfall of the year, and summer isn't even
over! I put on my coat for the first time today since summer started.

More like global cooling, a return to the ice age! Man must be responsible somehow!

Currently only 56F here in Gresham as of 1:15 PM. Yesterday it never got above 51! Lots of rain and wind yesterday! Now it has calmed down and the rain has stopped for now.

I walked through a couple of second hand stores on my way over here today. I one the prices on everything were very cheap. In the other the prices were very high. So I guess they must call that one an antique store.. But it all looked like the same old junk to me!

Yesterday Kim told me about the time she spent in Chicago years ago, and how she worked her way up to a young waitress in a restaurant there.

Thrift store in Anaheim has all stuff very cheap and good quality.I buy my Great grankids toys their and they are like new.Small radios for 3 bucks with ear phones.(Good for old deaf like me.)TreBert


Speaking of toys, "Toys Are Us" has just filed for bankruptcy! Part of the current "mall rot" I guess. Today I went over to "Snow Cap", a food pantry, for the first time in about a year and a half. They have been going strong for as long as I can remember. They run on donations with doubtlessly some help from the government. Came home with cart load free food! Bought the cart last year at the Grange Flea Market for $20. Now it has started paying for itself. Lets me bring home much more food than I could otherwise carry. My rent has increased by $200 in the 2 1/2 years I have been here, so there's getting to be little left over for food.

It is now sunny again, 63F as of 2:30 PM here in Gresham. Wind NW at 5 mph.

No wind No clouds.At 8am sun was very strong.Rather cool at 78 but going to HB and look at the girls.They wear only strings,and no tops.WOW I might add to more barrels to my boat.Like a 3 wheel bike.It will look good and be a hybrid.Sail and water wheel.Barrels come free so the price is right.$42 and 3 hours to build.Safer than the Titanic.Its in reality a "LIFE SAVER" TreBert


Better take that barrel boat for a test run with someone in a real boat standing by in case those barrels break apart in the big waves! Better do that before trying to cross to Hawaii.

A comfortable 68F here today as of 2:30 PM. Wind west at 5 mph. No chance of rain. Summer weather seems about to be making a come back. Forecast is for 80F on Wednesday. Maybe this is Indian summer, though it seems a little early for that.

Enjoyed a whole pizza last night that they gave me at Snowcap. Must have been a $15 value! It saved me more than enough money to buy the beer to go with it!
