Monday, May 7th, 2018…… Rylee didn’t do too well last night in
the poop and pee department! I had to clean up two places. Plus, she goes on the entry carpet. So, tonight we’ll cover it with piddle pads
and see what happens. Monster mutt got me up early again and I let Lydia sleep
and let her out in the yard for a while then played with her and put out her
breakfast. Lydia was still sleeping so I
let the puppy in the bathroom with me.
She was upset when I stepped in the shower and closed her out! She whined until I finished and opened the
door and let her check everything out in the shower. She seemed content with that and I was able
to dry off and get dressed and done. We played some more and then when Lydia
got up I took off to go get my breakfast and coffee and then headed over to
Albany to get a few things. First stop
was Petco for dog food and a real bone, only filled with edible dog treat. Then
I went to a place we’d been to before, called Wheeler Dealer, which is kind of
like a Dollar Store/Harbor Freight/Big Lots.
They buy overstocks from various stores and do have a nice selection of
a lot of nicer tools and such. I bought another rake for the yard plus some dog
toys. Then I went to Dollar Tree to get
another cord for my phone. We think we left mine in Rick and Janie’s rig. No worries, they are reasonably priced. I got
back and gave Rylee the bone. Oh my God!
She loved it! She chewed and chewed and
got some of the stuff out of the middle.
We had to take it away for a while so she can rest. The team got here
this morning and started to work putting up the other side of the roof
sheets. That done, they started on the tar
paper. I was told they had called the inspector
to come by and do the shear inspection so they can get that part closed up too.
Turns out Dana didn’t call him yet. The weather is nice today, but it’s
supposed to cloud up tomorrow with rain forecast. But the sunny days are starting to outnumber
the rainy days so we’re happy about that! I went online again and spent some
time searching for Hawaii deals. I
needed a rental van and I wanted to book the Haleakala bicycle downhill
adventure. I searched several car rental
websites and got a really great price for the van! I also chose the bike company that gave me
the best price for the tour we wanted to take.
We get picked up at our rental house, we go to the bike company, get
fitted with gear (bikes, helmets, gloves, rainjackets, bike locks, etc.) and
then we get taken up to the top of the mountain with the bikes in the
trailer. We ride down the 28-mile long
mountain and back to the shop. We can go at our own pace and can stop when and
where we want for pictures and food if we want (that’s why we get locks). We did this on our 25th
anniversary there and we can’t wait to try it again! Later, we went out with
Rylee to check out the job done today and visit with them (she loves
Dana!). After that we all sat and
watched Master Chef and Dancing With the Stars and then went to bed.
End of day 26…..
Tuesday, May 8th, 2018…… This
morning I got up and let Rylee out and let Lydia sleep in. We played a bit and
I finally got going with my shower and such then it was back to doggie duty
while Lydia made breakfast. Yummy! I finally went out and weed whacked/mowed the
grass around the grapevines and trees and the blueberry cage. It got me super
winded and I was hot and sweaty and covered with grass so much that I had to
get out of my clothes in the garage before coming in and showering again! The
guys are progressing with the rv garage, and today got the roof shingles up and
staged. They finished the roofing paper
and started back working on the rest of the house wrap trying to finish up the siding
when the rains came. It was a little
earlier than quitting time but they left shortly after. I went out and cleaned
up the shop area a bit then called it a day. We had leftovers for dinner and
settled in to watch our shows until bedtime.
End of day 27….
