Wednesday, December 13th, 2017…...
Sis came by this morning to walk Quincy over here. It’s better for both of them as she can run
and run. Quincy, not Penny! Penny can just walk her own pace and not be
drug on a leash. For me, today I had two things on my to-do list. After breakfast, I went back to work on my
electrical outlet. I rewired it and it
worked first time! That done, I went out and got the motorhome ready to take in
to the shop to get some service work taken care of. First up, I needed to get it winterized. Second, I had a mouse get into my aqua hot
diesel burner’s exhaust pipe wrap, putting a small hole in it. Lastly, I also have a torn fresh water inlet
hose that has been leaking for some time. Neither of these is a biggie, but
while in, I might as well get it all done, right? I got going about 9:00am and
drove to Sweet Home RV Center. It’s not
much of a center really, just a small time rv parts and service business. Hopefully they can get everything done with
no issues. Lydia came out a bit later and picked me up. We stopped on the way home and she picked up
a ham that she had pre-ordered cut in half and was told it was ready. She dropped me off and went to get
Penny. They were going to Corvallis
today to do some Christmas shopping. I
stayed behind and went out and cleaned up where the coach had been parked. I still haven’t been able to mow - still too
wet – but I picked up some of the junk laying in the field and filled in where
the coach wheels had sunk in over the last five months. I then went out and prepped my worktable for
the top that I still have to go buy. I
came in a bit after that and relaxed and took a break and watched tv for a
while. Lydia got home after a bit and we
texted Tim asking where we where on our rv garage project. He texted back that he is expecting the plans
tomorrow and will come over to get things ready to go to the county for permits.
I drove up to KFC and got us dinner and we watched Better Late Than Never and then
Survivor before going to bed.
Thursday, December 14th,
2017…... I had a terrible night sleeping last
night. I don’t know if it was something
I ate or drank that kept me up but I only slept a couple of hours so I’m
dragging today. I headed out after
breakfast to Ace Economy Hardware to get material for my shop tabletop. I like this place even though it is a little
more expensive than Home Depot or Lowes.
They have better quality lumber/wood product and it’s stored correctly
instead of being laid across a couple of bars on a shelving rack. I found extra
thick 1- inch plywood as the base and I bought hardboard as the top piece. This table will also be used as a runoff for
my table saw so I wanted something smooth and slippery. Getting those cut to size was next and was
pretty easy and then I screwed the plywood down and then screwed the hardboard
top to that. Next up is an edge band to wrap
around the whole thing to finish it up but so far, it looks good. I came in later and relaxed a bit and watched
tv, trying not to doze off. I want to be
able to sleep tonight! Since it was a sunny day, Lydia was out working on her
flowerbeds. She trimmed up some of the dead branches on the bushes and plants
and small trees and got those cleaned up and looking better and ready for the
spring. She same in a bit later and
tried to figure out what to make for dinner.
She used cut-up chicken, shredded potatoes, mushrooms, corn, peas, onions,
and browned it all in a skillet and added a couple of fried eggs at the end so
it was a breakfasty hash browny plate. Write
that down, dear – it’s a keeper!
