Weather is still hot here. But I slept well last night and was up early.
Rooster (aka the Rylee dog!) woke us up but I was ready anyway. I showered and
walked Rylee and then fed her and then fixed my breakfast and settled in to
watch some tv. We are into the crunch time for the LL world series and had
three elimination games today. In between, I watched and finished all of my
taped Mecum Monterey auction. Lydia got herself ready and then headed off to
her 10:00am mahjong meeting at the senior center. While we were watching tv,
Rylee saw a small buck walking through the back yard.
We have
had the same four deer (all small bucks) come through for the past month or so.
So often that Rylee now knows when to start looking out the window to see them.
Kirk was
coming today and we have plans to weed the front ditch area and then spray the
entire back yard. He has a spray to take care of all of the clover and it won’t
hurt the rest of the grass. But I will have to keep monster puppy out of the
back yard for the rest of the day. I set a chair up in front of the slider so
we won’t forget. When Lydia got back,
she had lunch and rested for the afternoon. She had got out cube steak and made
that in a gravy to go over mashed potatoes. One of my favorites! We finished up
the night, between outings with monkey butt, watching tv. Tonight was America’s
Got Talent.

This morning we got up before 7:00am and got going. We were headed over
to Corvallis. Sis came by and dropped off Quincy for a little R&R and we
took off. First stop, after the ready-teller at BofA, was Wise Cracks Café for
breakfast. They have recently changed names and remodeled and now have
celebrity comedian’s pictures on their walls with a quote from them. It was our
first time there so we never saw the old décor. The food was ok. I ordered the
mother lode which had two bacon, two sausage, two eggs, and hashbrowns, with
two biscuits and gravy. It was a lot of food and was ok. We’ll go back. It was
just a few blocks away from the farmer’s market. Today, Aimee’s hula group was
performing so we timed it so we were there for their first show. We hung around
for that and visited for a bit after, then we walked around and bought a few
things. The tomatoes are now in and they have peaches and corn now too. It wasn’t too crowded today so we got through
in a few minutes and then headed home. Once we got back, Lydia watched GMA and
saw who was on the next Dancing with the Stars, coming up. We were disappointed
but will still watch this season. I don’t think the cast and celebs they have
this year will help them get their ratings back after last season’s screw up. We
were both sad not to see Sharna come back. She was part of the winning team but
is not on this season. Too bad. Lydia
took off again after watching the show. She went to the senior center for
bingo. My sister met her there. I hung around the house and watched LL
baseball. The rains have found us. This front is nice and cools everything off
and helps keep the dust down as they work the grass fields. Once the seed is
harvested and the hay is cut and baled, they turn the field and work in
amendments and get ready to plant for the next season. This happens all around
us here in Linn county, and the Willamette valley starts to look like the smog
has moved in! So, the rain will help that for now. Plus, I can turn the
sprinklers off for a day!
Thursday, Aug 22nd, 2019…... Well, the rain lasted just one
day! It did give us a break from the heat but that will start up again soon. I
walked Rylee and then went out and worked on the boat. I found I needed to make
a run to get some stainless steel bolts for the stern light. I drilled out the
old pop rivets on the old light and found out what color the boat used to be.
It was kind of a baby poop color. I’m sure glad the guy painted it! I got the
holes drilled and mounted the new light. This one folds down so now I can put
the cover on easier. I also worked on some of the wiring. It’s ready to go now.
But I still want to get the trailer situation worked out. Will make a trip to
Eugene next week to check on a boat shop to see if they have a boat lift and if
so, how much to swap out the trailers.
