Monday, March 5th, 2018…... We
both got up early and I got showered and left to go over to walk Quincy. I always enjoy her energy. She’s well behaved and walks great on a leash
but has that enthusiasm when we first get going and pulls like a freight
train! It’s fun! I usually take her in one of two directions.
Yesterday we did the ‘river’ route, which takes us down to the shore of the Santiam
River. They have a small park there and
plenty of room to explore. But I don’t let her off leash in case another dog
happens by. This morning we walked the ‘canal’ route, which follows a diversion
creek behind a bunch of houses. This
time I switched the route a bit on the way home, walking up and around the
block before returning her home. After a few minutes I left and stopped by Jack
in the Box and Starbucks and brought breakfast and coffee and tea back
home. After Lydia got dressed, she came
out and we replanted some offshoot daffodils from the future rv parking pad
over to the flower bed. Once that was
done I relocated my lawnmower and edger to the potting shed and then put the
first coat of varnish on the bench. Turns out I had both varnish and tack
cloths in my shop saving me a trip to the hardware store. After those tasks
were done, we rested for the day. Still
no word from the contractors….
Tuesday, March 6th, 2018…… I
got a text this morning that my sister was coming here and would I walk
Quincy. I like that Quincy really likes
it over here and gets a chance to run off leash. They arrived and I was already outside
waiting. We did our tour around the west
40 and then the back of the yard, and I threw the ball for her for a while.
Then I took her on the leash out on Oak Creek Way. We always go up to Main St. and then back
again. Once we were done, I fed her
breakfast and sat with Penny and Lydia for a while. We had mentioned that we needed to go to Corvallis
to the BofA there. I got my supply of the new checks I had ordered but the
routing number had changed so I wanted to confirm that everything was ok (it
was). Penny asked if she could ride along as she wanted to transfer her account
and order new checks. That done, we went looking for the right office to get
Quincy’s dog license. After two stops in Corvallis (wrong county) and two stops
in Albany, we finally found the right office and got that task done and then headed
back home. Tim and Dana texted me earlier saying they were coming by this
afternoon to dig the trench and set the electrical rough in for the
garage. I helped Tim relocate the
storage tank that Walt had left here. It was used to store his farm diesel fuel
he used in his lawnmower. Mine runs on
gas and I don’t have any need for the tank.
It was sitting right at the front corner of the shop where the
electrical will junction. We moved it behind the shop for now. I will take pictures of it tomorrow and put it
on Craig’s List. Maybe I can sell it and
make a few bucks. We ate lunch and
rested a bit and watched tv. I went back
out and talked to Tim & Dana as they were finishing up and then came in the
house.
Lydia didn’t get anything out for dinner and said she would buy if I
could pick a place. Neither of us was really hungry and nothing sounded good so
we settled on scrambled eggs with mushrooms and cheese. It was easy to fix and easy to clean up. Once that was done, we settled in and watched
tv till bedtime.
