Monday I explored, Tuesday I rode my bicycle around a local park on the Willamette River for an hour (very narrow bike path, lots of walkers, and lots of turns). Tonight I golfed at Oak Knob Golf Course after work with a couple I met on the first tee. This course is notable in that the fairways are absolutely straight, every one. A hook or slice and you will be playing your ball in the adjacent fairway, guaranteed. The par 5 holes were all over 500 yards (this is long, in my experience), and the par 3 holes were 180 yards+, which is also long. The greens were soft and slow, but smooth and nicely cared for.
Work is starting to fall into a routine. It is summer, and there are lots of people taking time off. The manufacturing pace is brisk, and things get done. We have a large project in house that is being manufactured and progress on that happens daily - you can see large machinery moving through the stages of manufacture. I wander through the factory looking at parts and pieces going together. It is fun.
My new computer is being worked on by the IT staff, so that I can work remotely, so that I have the latest versions of the software, so that I can do anything I might need to do anywhere I might be. Today they were working on it for an hour or two in the middle of the day, which gets in my way of doing things. I'm sure it will settle down shortly. Perhaps tomorrow I will get a key to the front door that will allow me to stay late and work, since if I don't depart with the last person I stand a pretty good chance of being locked in. Not good...
Tomorrow I depart for Snohomish at 4:30 or thereabouts. Wish me luck with the Portland Traffic!
