I stayed up/slept in my chair last night
because we had to get moving around 2:30am!
I slept off and on but was able to get enough sleep and managed to wake
up without an alarm right on time! We
got out on the road by 3:15 and made the drive to Portland Intl Airport by
4:45am, plenty of time for her to check in and make her way to boarding. I hit the road and made my way home, stopping
for coffee and breakfast along the way.
I got home about 7:10am and napped for an hour or so then headed out to
Corvallis and then Albany. Stopped at
Kmart and bought a couple of flannel shirts, and went to Home Depot for rock
salt and cabinet hardware, and then headed to Albany to check Habitat for Humanity
to see if they had something to compare to the cabinet I found at the thrift
store in Lebanon. I want it for my bench
grinder in the shop. Nothing there. I headed to Harbor Freight to get more hooks
for my pegboard in the shop, then to Big Lots to check out their
recliners. Walt’s leftover in my office
is really starting to bug me. It’s not
comfortable and it makes it hard on my back getting in and out of it. I don’t need anything fancy and they had one
I liked. Might go back in a few days and
get it…. I also went back to the thrift store with a tape and measured that
cabinet. In the end, I think I will pass
on it. Even though it’s nice and sturdy
(made with good sturdy heavy duty wood from days past) l think it’s too big for
what I need. I will keep looking. Penny
brought her friend Jareth over so see our place. She’s an old friend who flew
up from SoCal to see her. They left
Quincy with me and went to Sweet Home for dinner. I opted out to watch the Dodgers play game 1
of the World Series. I heard from Lydia as she made her stop in Houston and
then finally when she got picked up by Krista and the girls in Fort Myers. Glad the flights went well but I’m sure she’s
tired. I’ll have to text them to let
them know not to overwhelm her with too much too soon. I also spoke to Bobby, my finance guy, to get
him ready to get us 1st installment on the payment for the rv
garage. I meet with Rocky (bidder number
3) tomorrow morning to answer a question he has about electrical. I should hear
back tomorrow on his bid. We’ll see.
Back to baseball….. My Dodgers got off to a great start with a win! Hopefully, they can keep this going.

I went to bed early last night. No doubt I was tired but it’s very quiet
here, even more than usual so it was hard to get to sleep. But once I did I slept through the
night. Rocky did not come by as promised. He did text me later with a quote, which was a
close but still ballpark number, and was a bit higher than Tim’s, so I told him that
and he needs to firm up his quote and that I still had one item left from my other
guy. I made it to my doctor’s
appointment. I previously had a had a mole scraped and tested (it’s
benign) and he wanted to freeze the rest of it off today. No worries and I was home in no time. Penny asked me to ride along with her to
Eugene to take Jareth to the airport. They came by and I drove my car (more
comfortable for my back). We dropped her
off, said our goodbyes and headed over to Jerry’s hardware to exchange an
electrical outlet I had bought a month or so ago. That done, we stopped at Lowe’s for her to
return some items and then we headed to Newman’s fish house for lunch. She
treated since I drove (thanks Sis!). That
was good enough to hold me for the night. Almost! I
did have a piece of chocolate pie they had brought me yesterday from Skyline. I finished
up some work on my trailer and ended the night watching the Dodger game. They went into extra innings but we
came up short tonight so now the series heads to Houston for the next three
games. Hopefully we’ll do better there! I
worked on my bills a bit and then watched Survivor (taped) and called it a
night.
