We woke up to the cleaning lady trying to clean the room.  Whit got some food last night so we ate brownie bites.  We headed out looking for breakfast and found a place called the Hotcake House.  This was an Oregon style establishment.  The guy at the counter referred to everything in terms of millions of dollars.  He looked like he might be a bum, but a stern one.  Then we saw him come out and he was wearing tie dye bellbottoms.  It was strange.  But the food was good, and we got it pretty quickly.  I think the strange wait staff definitely added to the experience.

The Leatherman factory is located in Portland.  We headed there after eating.  Whit needed to get his Leatherman cleaned, and I wanted to get one.  When we got there we heard that the factory tours were booked up until October, so we wouldn’t be going on one of them today.  But we did go to the factory store, and looked inside of the factory, lots of women working on assembling great tools.  Whit dropped his off, and they cleaned it and shipped it back to his house for free.  That is a warranty you can be proud of.  I got a Juice CS2 for $25 down from something like $80 because of a cosmetic blemish that I still can’t find.  They also had lots of free bumper stickers so we grabbed a few of them.  I was a little upset they didn’t have any shirts in my size.  We stayed there for a while and Whit ended up getting another knife, but eventually got bored.  I mean we can only hang out in a Leatherman store for so long, actually I take that back.  I could be there all day, Danielle got bored.  She picked up the same Juice I got.
