Harley and I Woke up an headed to the storage unit and then went to the whiteaker market to vend there.
When we got there we walked up to the information booth and got the run around for about ten minutes until we gave up and decided to just be chill an look at some goods and hang out with some of my friends.
We played chess and some other things like tag and checked out the art until it was closing down. Then I said by to my friends and we dipped out to the makers space and then we headed to bed.
When we arrived at the Whitaker market. I moved off to join some of my friends that I met at the Whit a few weeks ago. We had a great time playing tag and just chilling. About 5 or 6 hours later we found these little bugs.
spiny leaf insect
This animal is one of my favorite insects they are cute and they don’t bite, don’t sting, or commit any type of aggressive act.
After a couple of hours I said good by to my friends and we headed to Sundance and then to the makers space before going to bed.
When we got to the makers space we hung out until it was two forty four. Then we began to pack up because this lady who worked at Sundance named Erika is going to be our new booth helper! She met us out there to help us pick out booth out.
When we got there Erika had just pulled up a few minutes before we arrived. We all got out of our cars. Erika, Harley, and I began to check out our booth options. After about 40 minutes we had looked at six booth spots Harley and I said good by to Erika got in our car and headed back to the makers space.
Harley and I woke up an headed to the storage unit, grabbed our gear, and then drove straight to the Eugene Saturday market.
When we got there Harley and I waited in line for the our name to be called and somehow managed to get a 8’x8′ booth space.
Harley made five sales and he and I had a pretty good time. At about a quarter after three it started to rain. The market visitors ran for cover and our table got soaked… We made no more sales that day.
Theo and I followed through with our plans to visit Portland for his birthday this year…
All he wanted was to rent e scooters and so we could ride around together and I was excited about making our first ever visit to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry(OMSI) an extra special occasion.
The first major fun happened when we pulled over to take a leak and so Santa could give Theo his presents at the North Bound French Prairie Rest Area on the way to Portland…
After unwrapping presents we drove the rest of the way to Portland and headed straight to OMSI and that’s when shizzle got crazy fun. I am so greatful to have the kind of kids that choose to do awesome stuff like going to OMSI on their birthdays.
The paleontological lab in the Life Sciences Department was by…
When I learned about pangolins i was intrigued and horrified at the fact that pangolins are the most trafficked animal on earth.
An estimated 300 pangolins are poached every day. In one case an estimated 14.2 to 36.000 tons of illegally harvested pangolin scales were found in a single shipping container.
12.2 tons of pangolins were found in one warehouse
Harley and I woke up at 5:28 headed to the storage unit to pack up our car with the ez up, chairs, tables, merch, and other gear. I got up while Harley started packing up and I helped out a little bit and when we were ready Harley and I began driving. I fell back to sleep within 30 minutes.
When I woke up again we were zipping through Portland. Suddenly Harley pulled over and said we are here.
At that I sat bolt upright, looked around, and said something like “yesss!”. Harley went to the info booth and got in line so we could vend and I joined him there a couple of seconds later.
After a few minutes two people walked out and looked at our supplies for a little bit an said we were in.
Harley and I began to set up shop at the portland Saturday and Sunday market.
After a couple of hours we met Uli, a very gifted and awesome person. He was making collapsible castles. Here is a photo:
After the market closed we decided to go and rent two electric scooters for fun… And it was so fun.
We drove all over town for about 90 minutes. It was a blast. Then we drove home to sweet sweet Eugene.
I was listening to a Stuff You Should Know and got curious about how steam engines work. Josh and Chuck suggested I search for a website about engines with animations. I found this one and it is very interesting:
Harley and I got up around 8:14 and decided to go to the post office and picked up a package.
Then we headed out to goose park. The real name of the park is the Maurie Jacobs park. We call it goose park because of the huge flock of plump geese that live there.
We decided to walk along the river for a ways and I went in a little bit, however; the water was so cold. I still would have gone in for a swim but Harley said not to. Like a jerk.

Then we went on and until we came to the Owen Rose garden. We walked around checking out all of the roses and ornamental cherry trees until Harley noticed what must have been a 200 hundred year old tree that was thought to be planted by Eugene Skinner himself.
After that we headed to the skating rink. Harley did not skate however I had a good time I fell over about two times but it was worth it.

I skated for two hours and then it was time to go so we went to the the makers space. We had a huge and delicious meal while we watched documentaries about beavers.
