Day 3: Corvallis Chillin'

We did not get enough sleep last night. Our late return from the Oregon Dunes and Bridget's marionberry smoothie adventure (at midnight) resulted in a very late bedtime. The homeowners' dog (she is house sitting), Maddy, finds it necessary to clippy-clop around the house every 20 minutes, shaking her cowbells in the process (she also looks like a cow). Hence the lack of sleep.

I accompanied Bridget in some morning errands:

• Returning her high visibility PPE shirt and purchasing 4 rolls of duct tape at Wilco (I'm pretty sure the band is not named after this store)
• Coffee break at The Beanery (a very Corvallis thing to do)
• Stopping by her office at OSU to make/print some shipping labels, and meeting some of her (very important) friends in the process
• Stopping by the shipyard (which I was disappointed to find does not have ships nor water) to package up some equipment for her upcoming research cruise to Romania (!). We asked her colleague whether we could borrow his SUP and received a confident "No" for an answer.

I was put to work taking photos of important things, like this label that proves the wood has been treated and does not contain insects:

After our tired/lazy day we decided it was far too much effort to paddle the 20 miles to Rogue Hops Farms and instead made pizza and invited Bridget's friend Nick over for dinner (he also works on coastal erosion and flood hazards, but along the Oregon coast). We made super thin crust pizza, ate all of it, drank (or didn't drink) IPAs, and were in bed by 9pm. Yes.
