Thursday, Oct 10th, 2019…… I slept in late this morning. I
did wake up super early again and almost got up (again) but didn’t and was able
to go back to sleep and found it was 7:45am before I woke up again. I got
Quincy out and walked and then Rylee joined us. It was chilly! The morning
temps have sure dropped in the last few days. This morning it was 32º! We fed
them and I headed off to get breakfast. Neither of us had any plans today. I
wanted to move the boat into a corner of the shop garage so I could get my
truck in there at night. As I said, it is cold at night. There was frost on the
truck this morning so today was a good day to move stuff around. While I was
out there, I got all of Lydia’s fall stuff down so she could get it all set
out. She spent some time working on that, resting her foot several times, until
she had it all done. I came in and worked on my monthly bill spreadsheet and
then went back out and took the last part off the trailer and cleaned it up.
Next was the fenders. These won’t get the bedliner paint like the trailer –
they will be spray painted a different color, so I sanded them down to bare
metal so I can put primer on later. After doing all of that, I came in and
rested and watched the first showing of Mecum Vegas. We decided to have
leftovers for dinner. We both had French dip sandwiches the other day at
Skyline and we each brought half home. Lydia also had my sister’s baked potato
so dinner was easy. We watched tv until bedtime.
Friday, Oct 11th, 2019…... Wow, it’s cold outside! It showed 33º outside at 7:30 this morning.
My neighbor had his lawn service already here when I was out with Rylee and he
was ready to mow even with frost on the grass!
Of course, monkey butt doesn’t care about the cold. She walked along
with her breath frosted but didn’t care.
I came back in and fixed breakfast. Then I answered an ad on OfferUp for
a drill press. No response yet. Lydia and I decided to go to Eugene to the show
to see The Adams Family. We also wanted to go to Costco so we did that while we
were there. It was time again to go to Newman’s for seafood. Our treat in
Eugene! We knew they had another restaurant in the downtown area and we wanted
to go find that one. Turns out it was almost as small as the newer one! You
still order from a counter and seat yourself at an outside patio table. This
place did have a nice store though. Plus, there were tables in the store to eat
at when the weather is bad. It was nice and we ate outside. Once we got home
and got butthead fed and walked, we settled in and watched tv until calling it
a night.
Saturday, Oct 12th, 2019…... Not much planned for today. The weather is just
ok. Not rainy but not warm enough either. Lydia’s ankle has been achy at night,
causing her to not sleep well. I left her in bed and got my shower taken and slipped
out with butthead to do our walk. When I got back, she was up for the day. After
doing the rest of my morning ritual (reading the paper, doing the jumble, and
sending a pic of the jumble to sis), I headed off to get us
breakfast/coffee/tea. The dr. had given Lydia a couple of elastic bandages to
wrap her ankle but I wanted to find the ankle wrap we already have. I searched
and searched but no luck, so I went off to Walmart to get another one. This
way, she can change them out and use whatever is more comfortable. I also
picked up a bunch of stuff from her list for dinner tonight and for tomorrow
too. Tonight, we’re having steak sandwiches and mac and white cheese. We hung
around the house and got caught up on programs we had taped. Later, she started dinner. She doesn’t want
any help and has figured out she can use her office chair to sit on in the kitchen
between stirring the food. The meal was great and I got everything cleaned up
and we settled in. Around 8:00pm, I got a text from a guy in Portland who was
interested in the oven. He asked a few questions and I went out to the shop and
took a few more pics of it to send him. More to follow, I hope.
