Terminator: Judgment Day

 

Yesterday Christy and I went up to Chip Ross Park to watch the rise of the machines.  You see, according to one timeline from the Terminator franchise, last night at 8:11pm, Skynet came online.  Shortly thereafter, the missiles would start to fly followed by terminator robots.

 

 

 

We found a good vantage point to watch the nukes hit Eugene.  Corvallis being a rather small place, we assumed that no nukes would fall close enough to matter initially.

 

 

 

The sun began to sink low in the west as we prepared for the end times.

 

 

 

You can tell Christy is excited for the end of the world.  No more homework assignments!

 

 

 

Getting close to the end.

 

 

 

In case of robot apocalypse, just add three buck chuck.

 

 

 

 

 

We shot a time lapse video as evening turned to night.

 

 

 

Night over Corvallis. Judgment Day never came.  The Connor family must have interfered with the timeline yet again.  How long do we have to wait to salute our robotic overlords?

Snowy Ride Up Marys Peak

This afternoon I took the motorcycle out with Christy to do a little ride.  We went up Marys Peak where we encountered snow on the road just past the first gate.  We turned around and headed back to town via Decker Road and Belfountain.  It looks like the top of Marys Peak will be off-limits to motorcycles for a while to come now.  The route was about 70 miles in total.

We turned around at a pull-out near a waterfall just after the first gate.  Only about 500 feet down the road there wasn’t any snow.

Christy fit in my passenger riding gear quite well.
