I found a pseudoscorpion.

Ray Harryhausen giant clawed land crab beast.

This monster was in my garage stalking a scrap of newspaper.  I had no idea what it was so I trapped it, took pictures, and ran to wikipedia.  Turns out it's a pseudoscorpion, and pseudoscorpions live in Oregon, just people don't usually see them.

Not really giant at all.  At least it's not a tick.

Weird Pointy Spider

I've never seen a spider like this here before, this year has been sort of an odd one for new and different creepy crawlies.  There is also an influx of snails that wasn't around the PNW when I was a kid.

Do you want egg roll?

"Temporary" Fixes & Tractors.

Don't put fencing flat on the ground and leave it there.
Not in the Willamette valley.

I don't care if it's to keep the dogs from digging in the septic tank, and it'll only be there for a couple days, cause a couple months later it's gonna be full of grass and utterly immovable.  That's where tractors come in.  Most people don't have a tractor, these people are fools.  Tractors are like a diesel powered swiss army knife.... now if only I had a backhoe attachment......

Mighty steed of thunder.

This used to be straight.  It's lucky it's in one piece.
