What better way to set a project up for an epic fail than give it an acronym that is pronounced “Whoops”? Last week during my trip with my parents I had the opportunity to visit the now defunct Washington State Public Power Supply System (WPPSS) plant number 5.
A few days before our trip Matt had [...]

Reflecting on last weekend in Forks…. the weekend was beautiful and fun. The Olympic National Forest and the surrounding area is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. Camping was fun… Matt and I slept in the back of the Honda Element ZipCar.

According to what we hear, the weekend will be filled with parades, salmon bakes, demolition derbys, fireworks, horseshoe tournaments, drag races and even a frog jumping contest.

I leave tomorrow Portland bound for their 2nd Annual Moped Rally. Last year was a blast, this year should be equally exciting.

Sunday morning we made an impromptu trip to Roslyn, Washington. Roslyn is a – let’s say- quaint former logging and coal mining town in the Cascade Mountains with a population of about 800.

I spent the weekend in Sacramento attending a moped rally called “Total Letdown” that was sponsored by the Landsquids, the Sacramento branch of the Moped Army. I’m a bit letdown because the rally wasn’t a total letdown at all – in fact it was quite fun.
It all began Thursday night in Seattle by boarding the [...]
