Mickie’s Visit
adminOn her way through Portland to Yakima, Mickie stopped by for a short visit. While in town we took in some of the local hotspots: Powell’s bookstore, Voodoo Doughnuts, Multnomah Falls, and Edgefield. Here’s Mickie at the falls.
2009 Extrication Challenge
We stopped by Clackamas Town Center to check out the annual Extrication competition. The teams were fun to watch but now we’re really excited to check out the experts in a few weeks – Dallas Fire Department!
Tigger’s Indoor Tree House
We built a walkway and shelf for the cats so they could get away from the dogs. Tigger even helped Brad with one of the walkways!
Tucker’s new home
After spending the night in Bend, we stopped by to meet Tucker…. And decided to take him home! He is a 5-6 year old Australian Shepherd who loves to give love!
Concrete Cowboys
We stopped over in Bend to see Concrete Cowboys, a Portland-based country band, before heading on to meet Tucker! They played at a little bar called the Black Horse Saloon – the best people watching bar EVER!!
Portland Pride
We finally made it down to the Portland Pride Festival…and what would pride be without a parade!!??
Another ride
Since Bubba spent most of our last ride backing up towards home, we thought we’d try taking him to Kelly’s arena to see if he would do better away from home. Well, Bubba did great in the arena but as soon as we headed out for the trail he planted and wouldn’t move! Here’s Bailey hanging out while Brad tries to work with Bubba…
Fire drills
Today we had the opportunity to practice some vertical ventilation (cutting holes in roofs with a chainsaw an a K12 saw). Here’s Brad simulating a cut off a roof ladder.
And here’s Jodi…
