Noooooo!! Summer is teasing me! Still working because I have an accounting test in 1 hour, practice at 3 and a track meet at U of O tomorrow. Only six days, 4 finals and a load of studying and I'm there....gotta focus....six days......
This is not gonna be easy...especially when i finally make it and the wind shuts down. Typical....

| If anyone rides at Sauvies today (which I'm guessing there will be), let us know how the fishermen situation has gotten. I'd like to think that it has gotten pretty mellow now that the season has ended. |

What event(s) do you run/jump at U of O? I was a pole vaulter for the University of Michigan and now coach track up in the Seattle area. Just wondering. |

I guess reports from the beach is its pretty much straight onshore and gusty ... so I guess those of us who have to work shouldn't feel too bad.
I am sure guys are out riding easterlies at the Airport or Rooster though... |

Rooster was the place to be today. 10-12M kites and about 70, can't ask for more than that. There were only about 8 folks out there today for some reason.
looks like ya missed it. |

Nice...I've always wanted to be a pole vaulter. Just seems like it'd be a lot of fun dropping into that mat every day...
I actually run for the University of Portland, our meet is just down at Oregon this weekend. I do XC in the fall, and the 800, 1500/mile on the track. I'm more of a speed guy who bumped up to XC in the fall, so the mile is just about perfect for me right now. I have been known to do a steeple chase or a 5000 every once in awhile too, but this weekend i'll just have to settle for a fast 1500...hopefully.
Anyways, back on topic, after practice i thought i'd drive out to sauvies to just BS and watch some riding and it was pretty amazing watching the conditions change on my way out. I left St. Johns and it was clear, got to the bridge and caught some pretty big thunder heads forming, got to the beach to just catch a few guys packing up and leaving a dwindling E wind, and then as i was leaving the sky pretty much went from blue to white to black. This all in about a 30-40 minute period. I knew there were T-storm advisories, but damn, that was quick! |

| That was me packing my 21 up. On days with shitty wind like this I miss the days that I used to pole vault in high school. My nickname was crash because I broke so many poles and crossbars. Some things never change. |

How's my page working for you guys? The scheduled jobs broke last weekend and it took a couple days for the hosting company to fix it, I felt friggin naked without them. I want to add a simple pressure differences table (among other things) but I've been too lazy
Hope you guys have been getting some N'ly action, the NW's have been good up here along Chuckanut this week, felt like the middle of summer yesterday, 4+ hours of lit 16m -> comfy 12m
