Friday, November 2nd, 2018…... Lydia said she was feeling ok this morning. But
she’s not dressed for the day so we’re not going anywhere. Or she isn’t anyway.
I texted a guy on Craig’s List last evening who has some angle iron for sale.
It’s cheap and he has enough for my project – utilizing the three shelving
uprights I didn’t use in the workshop system. I need some load beams and these
should work. I am supposed to get a text later today with his address and a
time to meet him at his house.
But first I ran some
errands. I took some clothes that Lydia has decided to donate to Safe Haven
Thrift store. Then I went and picked up my prescription at the pharmacy. I’m
trying a new asthma inhaler. I’ve been using Advair for 20+ years. But they now
have more effective meds (i.e. Breo) that are less abrasive. Any of the old
inhalers have potential for osteoporosis, which I have. This one is said to be less problematic so I
have one inhaler device to try for 30 days.
I got the text a little after 1:00pm
and headed up to Silverton (about 30 miles NW) and met the angle iron guy. I
had brought my cutoff saw to cut the 15-ft lengths into 5 footers. I got that
done and loaded and headed back home. I’m not sure yet when I will start that
project but it can be done inside so maybe I’ll wait for a rainy day.
Lydia was doing well when I got
back. She and Penny spent most of the day lounging around and watching tv. I
got the truck unloaded and started thinking about the racks. This material is
strong enough for what I need it for and should work well. I think I’m going to
text the guy on Monday and, if he still has some left, go back and get enough
to do the second one.
Saturday, November 3rd, 2018…... Lydia and I had nothing planned but my
sister had a busy day. I got Quincy walked and was out on our road walking
Rylee when Janice came by to pick up Penny. They were going down to Eugene to a
gem show. My sister is into rocks and stones and wanted to go see what they
had. Like I said, we had no plans so we hung around the house. Lydia ventured
out once to go back to the bazaar where she had previously found items to give
out to our friends at Christmas. She needed more and they still had some. It
was a short trip and she said she was up to it. Later, when the girls came
back, we decided on dinner out. So, we went to Ixtapa where we all shared a
combo platter. It was just the right size and was tasty. After that, it was
relaxing time – tv then bed.
Sunday, November 4th, 2018…... I wanted to cut some of that angle
iron stock and drill it and see how it will look. I plan to color match the
uprights and will get a piece from the other unit to take to Home Depot or
Lowes. So, after I walked the doggies, I went out and got three of the six pieces
cut and mounted. That was enough for a Sunday! The rest of the day was spent
relaxing and watching football and racing. The girls kicked back as well. They
made a nice meal and we watched tv until bedtime. Today, Lydia said she was
still in a bit of pain. She hasn’t been sleeping well but for some reason relaxing
today made it better for sleeping. She was sawing logs when I came to bed. We’ll
see how tonight goes.
