it's cooler today. Snow can't be far behind. We may have passed the

At the risk of making a skiing related post:

We had to cancel the annual Mt. Hood trip this week. Just too
frigging hot. Had it all set up, three of us taking motorcycles and
one with the truck, camp out at the five thousand foot level, spend a
few hours on the stiff skis rocking the Palmer, then enjoy a good
lunch at nine thou.
Hard won experience has told me that if it is eighty in Portland,
conditions will be fine on the mountain. Anything higher than that
and the slush never really firms up. Portland was over a hundred this
week. So I spent a couple days on the coast.
Life is a bitch.
Worse yet, I was going to let you all know where I would be, when I
would be there, and invite you to show up and join the fun.
Fun for me, at least.
Oh, well. Maybe in September.
