Thursday, January 11th, 2018…...
This morning we had some clouds and a little
sprinkle now and then but for the most part it was just windy. We wanted to trim up the lavender bush that’s
outside our bathroom because in the wind it bounces up on the house. So, this morning I went out and took care of
that chore. Believe it or not, once I
was done the winds died down! We decided
that today would be a day to get out of the house for a bit. So, we decided to go down to Eugene to see
The Last Jedi. We liked it! Afterwards,
we stopped at Five Guys for dinner. I
think the two closest ones are in Eugene.
There’s probably one or two in Salem but we haven’t looked for them yet.
Anyway, that was the adventure for today.
We got back home, driving through a little rain shower but it cleared up
before we got home and everything here was dry.
We settled in and watched tv before calling it a night.
Friday, January 12th, 2018…… This morning I took off early to go to
Habitat for Humanity. Nothing on my list but I like to check in with them to
see if anything of interest comes in that I can’t live without. Nothing
today. I also stopped at Burcham
Metals. This is a new place for me. It’s a metal salvage yard, started in the 60’s.
They buy scrap metals but have enough space to keep things that might be resold
in the future. The yard is large and I
was looking for load beams for my racks in the garage. Because I attached them in series, I have
three extra uprights and only need the load beams to make another couple of
units. These guys had tons of load beams
but they were super duty like Costco and Home Depot would use so I went home
empty handed. I spent the rest of the day working on dismantling Walt’s old
recliner. I had stored it in the shop
and decided I could dump it in the trash if I just took it apart. I got the last of it done today. Later, after
dinner, Lydia found on Facebook, that our old friend, Lee Hand, had passed away
today. Just Wednesday was his birthday
and we had called him and talked with him a while. He told us he was in the hospital with pneumonia
and the flu. He said he expected to come
home in a few days but I’m guessing things went downhill pretty quickly. Sad
times. He was a great guy and with wife Lyn was a past member of our camping
club. We’ll get a card in the mail tomorrow.
Also, we’ll send get well cards to Jim and Ed as well.
