      Just finishing off a bowl of gruel (Paula's porridge) before hitting the road to Portland.

      Have to go via Vancouver airport to pick up the phone I left on the inbound plane  😛 and meet up with a customer for coffee.

      In theory we will be seeing @kiya, @tmadd and Demitra early this evening…..

            Indeed, was a most enjoyable coffee stop @jock1624 and definitely not long enough!

              This morning we were picked up by kiya and Demitra and taken East…

              First stop:  Multnomah Falls...

              and it was love at first sight…

                Was great to see this little chap again, it had been far too long.  Look how thrilled he is to see me!

                Nice pic of the boys in front of the waterfall  😘

                Super lunch at the Double Mountain Brewery in Hood River, thanks so much @kiya and Demitra (and Diesel).

                  This is my sort of beer wagon….

                  I mean, seriously, look at this optional extra…...

                  Then we had some beers…..

                        Some familiar ones. Mirror Pond is a reliably tasty ale.

                        Think it, be it.

                            I'd go first for the Nitrous Red Chair. I've had 6 of those, but that's not among them and I love nitrous pushed ales.

                            Edit: hehe hehe I said nitrous instead of nitrogen.

                            Think it, be it.

                              I started with the Nitro Stout, then had the Black Butte, then the Inversion, then the Chainbreaker, and the last one of the evening I don't remember- maybe the Fire King?

                              Excellent night, overall.  It would have been a good night, just because of the company, but good beer always makes things better, right?

                                  I know this may sound self serving, but I left the Wesco factory today having seen the process of building a boot from start to finish thinking that they should be a lot more expensive.  The love, skill, attention to detail and care taken is simply staggering.

                                          And guess what?    I ordered a load of Oxfords with that (feckin) sole today…..

                                            I have more (many) photos to post.  But have to go and meet up with the guys (at a brewery).

                                            Final note.  I got stopped by the police (a lady officer) for doing 76 in a 55 zone today.  I was asked why I did not pull over when when she lit the lights, I gave some rambling bollocks about that not what we do in UK.  I got let off….....Nice
