Painted & now curing for a week or so before I pull out the sandpaper, buffing wheel, and patch paint so I can clean up the scaling, bubbling, and whatnot.

I was headed north on Sellwood Blvd when I saw the working Eng! headed south with a short train, so (after I bobbled an attempted photo from the bluff) I sprinted back south to get this photograph and some others (both here @ 13th Ave, then a few blocks later @ 17th).

I’ve already had covid-19 (maybe?) but it’s time to lift off and nuke it from orbit just to be sure.

Thor just happened to be sitting on the arm of the sofa right next to where Mavis was napping. Purely a coincidence! Not that Thor wants to pester her very best friend of the day or anything.

It took three attempts, but I finally got a scan of this slide that wasn’t covered in cat hair.

Once one side is unclipped, things get a touch easier - work gradually around the perimeter gently levering with the spudger until the base eventually pops off with a sound like a warranty vaporising.

Agnes Avenue, in Oregon City, is closed to automobile traffic, but the roadway is still there and I can use it to bridge between Main St & Washington St without having to loop through downtown Oregon City, then ride along 213 to cross i205 (which sucks dead bunnies through a straw; there’s a cycle lane along 213, but people whip through the interchange with i205 as if it was a race track.)
