This sandwich is on par with anything you would get out of Hoboken NJ and would cure any sandwich craving an east coaster could have. It's the right amount of food for the price unlike most PDX sandwiches. Definitely worth the trip to North Portland for this goodness. Well done Vin!

When in North Portland.... stopping by Picone's Deli to try their East Coast sandwiches. When asked if their Italian comes with mayo, they said "it doesn't have to...". Well that's strike one, but will wait to see how they taste. #Piconesdeli

It's always good to go see live music, and every time I do I want to see more. Jackie Greene & Anders Osborne at the Star Theater in Portland. #LiveMusic #JackieGreene #AndersOsborne #StarTheater

Wow a harvest already. I'm just seeing fruit on mine now in the PNW.

Wednesday, July 15th, 2026 - 1:50pm Mostly Sunny - 75.7° Today is day #15 of the extended stay. There's always a project to be found at the cabin, today just happens to be repainting the porch. Nemo is on restricted movement for some leg issues, so making the most of his downtime. #BecomingJasper

Friday, July 10th 2026 - 1:49pm Sunny - 71.1° We're having a very tough Friday here on the mountain. Fixed more on the water system from the spring. Big news here is broadband has been installed at the cabin. Game changer. #BecomingJasper

I have been chasing that dragon ever since...this is as close as I ever have gotten.

Congratulations to the Trump Administration for crushing the Guinness World Record for the biggest July 5th fireworks display. #somuchwinning #GuinnessWorldRecord #freedom250

Thursday, July 2nd, 2026 Sunny - 54.3° A major milestone for the cabin on Mt Hood. After 5+ years of dealing with a painful yet useful DSL line we will decommission it for a new Gig speed fiber line. Welcome old cabin to the 21st century! #BecomingJasper

26 days later... They have grown 4 times their size and are beginning to flower. The new monitoring system is paying dividends so far. #UrbanGardening #Hydroponics #Hydromatoes #gardening #sanmarzanos

While it's not a very common occurrence, there are instances where dogs can outsmart cats, as demonstrated in this particular case that happened in Portland, Oregon. Here the dog managed to trap the cat outside while simultaneously retreating to the cooler, air-conditioned environment of the house.

The garden got in very late this year, but with a whole new set up and increased the total plants to 42 from 30. 18 San Marzanos, 12 Purple Cherokee, 4 black cherry, 4 tomatillos, & 4 jalapeno. #UrbanGardening #Hydroponics #Hydromatoes #gardening #sanmarzanos

Thursday, May 21, 2026 - 7:23pm Sunny - 74° Didn't think there was any fish in the stream at the cabin. In 5 years of watching the water flow, attempting to fish, and never saw or caught a thing. Well that status changed today. Not so big of fish, but a huge milestone. #BecomingJasper

Saturday, April 18, 2026 - 2:30 Frog Lake, OR - Clear 58.8° Early spring fishing recon on MT Hood. No one here, strange on such a great day. #BecomingJasper #MtHood #FrogLake

Opening Day! This is the year, Go Pads! #MLB #OpeningDay #Padres

Tough day sowing the North 40! Now to wait to see what takes root. Happy Spring! #Hydroponics #urbangardening #hydromatoes

Sunday, March 15th, 2026 - 11:38am Cloudy - 36.7° Beware of the Eyes of March! St.Pat's weekend at the cabin. Lots of rains this week has the river running super high. Afraid the fishing holes are sure to have changed from last year. Warmer weather is in the forecast... #BecomingJasper

Sure has been an interesting century of technology so far.... #pixel #zune #blackberry #psp #android #droid #apple #mobilephones

Saturday, Dec. 27, 2025 - 8:59am Light Snow - 32.2° After 20+" of rain this month, numerous power outages, 15+ days without connectivity and a catastrophic damage to the water system, today the cabin has all 3 utilities back up & running. We're ending the year right. Nemo is happy! #BecomingJasper

Monday, Dec 8th 2025 - 3:03pm Lots of rain 42.1° No connectivity and lots of rain makes one very productive. Finished up work this morning on this built-in storage at the cabin. Match grain doors, drawers & side panel all made from CVG fir. #cabinlife #BecomingJasper #woodwork

Tuesday, November 25, 2025 - 9:20am Cloudy - 36.1° He really has come to enjoy a good nap besides the fire. We're in the middle of an extended Thanksgiving stay at the cabin. Finishing up the new built-in and other indoor projects before the snow sets in. #BecomingJasper

It all begins with a plan! New storage idea from under the cabin's stairs. Done in matching wood (CVG fir), drawers & doors done with soft close hardware. #woodworking #fsmwoodworks #cabinets

Sunday, Oct 11th, 2025 - 1:21pm Heavy Rains - 42.2° Wet day on Hood! Just like overnight Fall has arrived on the mountain. Nemo & I are settling in with a warm fire and a soon to be nap. #mountainlife #BecomingJasper

Thursday, Oct 9th, 2015 - 2:01pm Mostly Sunny - 54.9° First fire of the season. Got down to low 40's last night, moving the firewood to the porch. Forecast is for some snow on Sun/Mon. Seems way too early for that shit! Capt Nemo loves being on the mountain & in front of the fire. #BecomingJasper

Thursday, Sept 11th, 2025 - 11:48am Cloudy - 58.8° Plenty different day then 24 years ago. It's good to get lost in the woods for the day. Enjoying the peace that can only be found deep within the forest. Tomorrow is a new day. #BecomingJasper

Wednesday, Sept 10th, 2025 - 10:28p Mostly Cloud - 57.6° 7 days into my Sept extended stay at the Cabin. The weather has changed to rainy & cooler, a welcomed change. Fire ban still in effect. The fall chore list is getting done. My test chicken sausage is Passing! Nemo is a Mt dog. #BecomingJasper
