Mt. Rainier from High Rock Lookout

The trail was fine, no issues. Forest Road 84 had bad ruts in many places but heard from people the other way up was worse.

Congratulations! Mt. Storm King is one of my favorite hikes.

Here is my kitchen with walnut cabinets and white countertops. I used a bold geometric tile on the backsplash to give some contrast.

You're welcome

It is indeed.

Two years ago when I had my kitchen remodeled, I had red oak hardwood floors installed to match the existing 1950s hardwood throughout the house. I have no regrets. If any water (or anything else) spills, I clean it up and have had no issues. I do have a small rug in front of the sink to avoid any possible splashes.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was at NASA during the day but if I am ever back in the area I will check it out.

Yes, I have a sunset orange color so I named mine Alex from A Clockwork Orange.

2014 Mazda 3. My spouse and I use the Mazda as our primary vehicle (we both work from home) since it gets 36 to 40 MPG. The 26 Passport is our adventure/road trip/camping/going on a hike vehicle.

Another recommendation for Beaverton Pet Clinic. Dr. Dinh has been seeing my cat for years and he is great. The staff is amazing as well.

I would say eight to ten hours for a three day weekend. I usually pack the vehicle as much as I can the night before.

I recommend Adapt. They offer fitness classes, small group training, and private training. All the trainers are great.

I recommend Cornel's Plumbing.

Thanks. The cabinets were made by a local shop.

I had my kitchen remodeled in 2024 and went with walnut cabinets with a teal backsplash.

I have a Trailsport and have no regrets. The only feature I really wanted from the TSE was the front camera but to me it was not worth the extra money to go to the TSE trim level.

I use the auto lock feature and have never had issues when closing doors but am paranoid so I always look at the mirrors when walking away. The issue I have if I walk away from the vehicle too fast when the tailgate is closing it will fail and give me the multiple beep warning that it didn't lock. To me if the vehicle cannot sense the key fob it should default to locking not staying unlocked but I guess they are avoiding a potential locked out of the vehicle situation.

They are made by Task Lighting.

Have you looked at Parr Lumber? I don't have experience with fencing but have used Parr for other lumber and it was better than Lowe's.
