Lovely Day w/Birdies & Travel

mlerulesThe birdies have returned to the CopperMoon bird feeder, w/over a dozen at a time of small cute feathered things (no, I don't know the type) pecking away at the seed on the ground that's fallen/been knocked outta the birdfeeder by other and/or larger birds. There was a Big Bird (no, not THAT one ;-), mebbe a woodpecker, cleverly eating from the squirrel-proof feeder this morning. It hung from the pole and swiped its beak into the feeding holes, thus by-passing the Large-Weight-Closes-Holes feature. Smart birdie-head!
Anyway, the new (approx) Monthly Hive Weekend Date w/ALF schedule seems to find me driving up to CopperMoon on Wednesday to spend time w/both the Amazing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lightfoote (hence ALF) & Her Wildness wildwoosi, then fetching the former after work and carpooling w/him back down to Portland on Thursday aft/eve. It's easier than the previous tradition which saw me driving PDX-Bellevue (3 hours), fetching ALF, then driving back down w/him the same day. And now that my Thursday nights're mine again (that's when I had the History of Oregon class in the Fall), ALF doesn't need to take the train or plane down, meeting me after class. I enjoy these mini-Toad Rips w/him and it's fun to visit w/folks (oft-times vismaya_viewer, sometimes others) along the way when that works out.
Last night was quite fun.philkensebben had recommended a good new(ish) local (Redmond) brewery, so we3 (lightfoote & wildwoosi & I) and he met up after work yesterday (luckily we made it 4pm so we snagged a good table b'c it got CROWDED shortly thereafter) for some darned numbly beer and good pizza (delivered from nearby Flying Saucer Pizza). I highly recommend Black Raven Brewing! Our pizza choices were tasty, too: Soylent Green (pesto sauce than tomato), Ming the Merciless (lots o' jalapenos), and Black Hole (pepperoni & olives).
Anyway, it's gonna be a fab weekend, but now I need to go shift stuff from my car to the van. I'm bringing the latter down to the Hive b'c it's time to install a new (to me at least) COUCH at the Hive (and dispose of the olde one). Thx for the car-swap,wildwoosi!
