Costco sells $100 gift cards to a local Thai restaurant for $75. We got them on sale for $60, so we went to Noi Thai this week. I had the clay pot shrimp with glass noodles:

Mom had the spicy eggplant:

and Dad had the tamarind duck:

I built a speaker out of paper this week.

It works!

Jay was in Portland for a conference last week, so we met up in Hood River. Dad and I both got two days of windsurfing in.

Here I am working on getting into the footstraps:


Mom and I went to Ferment to drink Kombucha and beer while Dad was out sailing:

We stayed right down the street from Merle, the spurred African tortoise:


We also got to see Ben Webster at his son Max’s high school graduation party:

Only new food this week was flourless banana pancakes:

Never been windsurfing. Looks pretty cool and the tortoise wow.
You now have another sport😉windsurfing. Looks like fun. Having drinks with mom was fun too. Looks like it was a nice trip. That was one huge tortoise ! 🐢 flourless pancakes?? I guess the bananas held them together.
Nice to meet up with some old friends. Banana pancakes are a favorite of mine. Beautiful weather.
