Thursday, May 17th, 2018…… I took Rylee out last night in an
attempt to tire her out. Well, it
worked! She didn’t whine until around 5:30am which is better than before. Today
was appointment day. Lydia had a hair
appointment, I had a dental cleaning, and Rylee had a vet checkup. Lydia ended up changing the hair cut until
tomorrow and she booked me in as well. The
electricians got in about 8:30am and had some general questions. I opted to
have the wall outlets up at workbench height, plus I had them change out the
porch type light either side of the garage door to one security light over the
big door. I then added a porch light to the pedestrian door which I will have
set up as with a motion sensor. I then had to go to make my dental cleaning on
time. Meanwhile, Lydia took Rylee in. My teeth cleaning was business as usual.
And Rylee’s visit went pretty well too. Lydia
told the doctor about Rylee’s runny poop so he asked us to get the breeder to
call him and tell him about the coccidia and the giardia and what they did as
treatment. Her ended up giving her some
different dog food for us to try. Other than that, she’s in good shape and got
her shots and otherwise a clean bill of health. We returned to find the
electricians hard at work. At the end of
the day, they ran out of parts so they will be back tomorrow. But they got the
bulk of everything done. Meanwhile, Tim and Dana worked on the house wrap,
front and back and then got started on the siding. Later, Lydia threw some
baked potatoes in and then broiled some steaks and with green beans we enjoyed
a nice dinner then settled in to watch tv before calling it a night. Didn’t
take Rylee on her walk because we played with her right up till bedtime and she
settled in with no problem.
Friday, May 18th, 2018…… I slept in until 5:30am and then got up, and,
after my potty break, I let Rylee out and she immediately wanted up on our bed.
No toys, so she went back to sleep and gave us another hour of sleep which was
nice. Tim brought me an attachment for my garden tractor I asked to
borrow. It’s a giant sweeper that he
said would pick up the excess grass clippings on the lawn. I found a pin and hooked it up to the tractor
and took a few rounds and tested it out. I wanted to see if it would work as I
wanted it to before I bought one of my own.
It did the trick and got the bulk of the grass. So, now I have to add that to my list of
things to buy! They’re about $230. or so. But well worth the money. I’ll finish
the yard tomorrow and clean it up so I can return it to him. Later, I got showered
and we got ready to go pick up my sister.
We were going to dinner and then to the Majestic Theater in Corvallis to
see the play, ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’.
We got a place to park and went to Block 15 for dinner. Even though we had a 20-minute wait, we still
had time to eat and then go find a parking spot for the theater. I ordered the tickets on the Majestic’s website
and we had to settle for back row seats. We had never been there before so we
didn’t know what to expect. The theater
is more of a community style playhouse so it’s not very big. We were in row M
which was 13 rows back. It was fine –
except Lydia and I had a couple sit in front of us he was tall and she had big
hair! The presentation was pretty well done.
I wanted to have a fast forward button in my hand for some of the songs
but it went by pretty quickly. We will be going back to see other upcoming
plays in the future. We got out around 9:45pm and drove sis back home and then
went home to ‘release the hound’ from the bathroom prison. We played with her
for a while and then brought her to bed with us. She didn’t tire out soon enough and wanted
down so we had to lock her back up for the night. She soon settled down and we
got some good sleep.
