“Optimist: Someone who figures that taking a step backward after taking a step forward is not a disaster, it’s more like a cha-cha.”

Tips, Tools, & Press Releases
What should I do when I need to replace a burned out fuse?

Always replace burned-out fuses with ones of the same amperage (printed on the fuse). If a fuse continues to blow, you should have the circuit checked professionally by one of our technicians for defects.

If you experience a flood, please do not do the following while you wait for professional help:
Don't leave wet fabrics in place. Hang furs and leather goods. Don't leave books, magazines or other colored items on wet carpet or floors. Don't use your household vacuum to remove water.

Mushrooms can keep you healthy!
Sorry, not magic mushrooms… Medicinal mushrooms like Turkey Tail, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Chaga improve immune function, help cellular energy production, and support gut health.

A dogs guide to the gorge at moot hood
 A Dog’s Guide to the
Gorge and Mt. Hood

Hood River is the cat’s meow for dogs. Located in the heart of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area and about 45 minutes from snow-covered trails on Mt. Hood, this picturesque city has lots of dog-friendly trails, beaches, restaurants and places to stay. Walk through downtown Hood River and you’re bound to find bowls of water, “dog parking” at restaurants and plenty of dog treats for your pooch.
