Fresh meat

Ryan's girlfriend's mom provided him with a big catch from the coast of Oregon, didn't know they had tuna available. From some reports made on over fishing in the Northwest, we are safe to say that there are still a bounty full of tuna out there and that there is no need to worry about tuna shortage. So lets proceed and enjoy this catch. First things first, do you remember how to fillet tuna, we asked. Yeaaa! Once a filley'er always a filley'er.
Fifteen minutes later, we got a month worth of fish meat. Fried tuna, sashimi, tuna bone soup, tuna salad?? the list goes on...

Took a 5ive hour drive to Walla Walla, Washington from Portland to visit my older sister Min, and on the way I always took the time to stop by the most famous waterfalls in Oregon, the Multnomah Falls. Whether if it is sunny or rainy, just the sound of listening to falling water
makes me feel like I've been cleansed and that all the stress in life has gone away, at least for a moment until I start driving again. The cold small mist of water hitting your face, do you feel it? That's the shit I'm talking about. I took a few pictures thinking to myself, as if I really need more Multnomah falls pictures. I already have a collection of old Multnomah pictures on file every time I drive by, but this one... this picture has a story to it. All the other photos was great and memorable. I was always with someone or traveling with family when taking a trip to the falls. In this trip, for the first time, I drove by myself and visited the falls by myself. It was like who would do this by themself, like I was a loner looking for excitement. And after taking a few pictures of the falls, I felt I needed to take my picture with the falls. So nobody was in site and I waited less than 5ive minutes until I saw a hiker hiking down the slopes to quietly pretend that I am a tourist and ask her to take my photo. It was embarrasing to ask and also embarrasing after she took my photo. She probably thought, that guy is weird... The photo turned out pretty nice, and when I showed the photo to my brother Ryan and gf Yuko, all they said about me doing this is, "What for? You weirdo." or "Nice picture, but yes it was weird." I laugh to myself when I did that, something out of my norm to act touristy and weird.
