Oregon Snow, Already

Reported in the news this evening (30 August 2006) that Mt. Hood, in Oregon, got some snow today, freezing level is 7000 ft. above sea level, the hill is 11,236 at the top.
Temps down in the 40's around the knife shop this morning.

Fall is coming.

oh yeah, someone tell the Team Sergeant that the salmon are starting to head up the coast rivers now.

Yowsa! Well, Mr. Harsey, you best warm yourself with a nice adult beverage. Far away from the shop of course.

Jack,
How do you folks host the "fall leaf tours" and hunters at the same time? That's impressive.
Please be careful how you dress when outdoors, someone might mistake you for a world class black bear.

Ms. Gypsy, temps are just getting down to normal and thanks for the safety tip, I don't mix firewater and shop.

Pretty much the same way a good CSM handles a VIP tour. The VIPs never leave the defined track and see and touch all the pretty things while the troops(hunters) are off doing more important mission essential things out of sight and unimpeded by folks with set agendas.

Poor Bill, at least there's a cure. I may have to come out to aid him in his time of affliction......

TS-
If you go help Bill get over his fish affliction, the least you could do is buy a shiny sharp pointy toy from him too. Maybe not shiny, he's got a few that aren't, I'm sure.

It's Fall here. No triple 100+ degree heat, college kids are back and football season is here to ruin traffic on Saturdays. I kinda miss Summer already.
