Friday, July 17th, 2020…… I was up and running early today. The weather
here is hot but not unbearable. Actually, I enjoy this time of year. I had
Rylee out and walked and then went off to the store. I had a few things to get
from a few places. I stopped and got breakfast and then headed back home. After
a while, I went out and worked on assembly of the bolts and parts on the trailer.
I bought some wiring cover to clean up the exposed wires and then decided to go
ahead and paint the u-bolts used to attach the winch assembly. I had wanted to
find new ones but no one here has them in either of the two sizes I need.
Cabela’s has one size but I think I will just paint these and use stainless
steel bolts. I am about 90% done with the assembly.
I heard
from Randy and Maryanne today. They are on the road in the motorhome, heading
up here. They are coming up the coast and should arrive sometime on Sunday.
Cherrelyn
wanted to take us out to dinner tonight so I chose Loafers in Albany. They came
and picked me up and we got there and she and I went in and put our name in
while sis parked the car. We got seated outside and waited for a bit before
someone decided we needed service! But
the guy was quick to take care of us and got our drink orders to us and checked
on us often and got our appetizer out quickly. The meal was delicious. I
brought home mac and cheese for lunch tomorrow.
They
dropped me off at home and I took Rylee out for a bit then came in and crashed
for the evening. I forgot to take my omeprazole before we headed out to dinner (Lydia
always carried some with her for us) so I paid the price later in the evening with
some acid reflux. Lesson learned!
Saturday, July 18th, 2020……
I slept in a bit since I had such a tough night last night. But all is good now. Today I spent some time
on the blueberry cage netting, going back and adding some more staples and tightening
up so the loose areas. I think I’m good now. I came back in and closed up the
house so the air conditioning could take effect. One more trip to Ace Hardware
and Coastal Farm looking for those u-bolts. Nope. So, I put another coat of
paint on the old ones. Today we got close to 90º so I had butthead out in the
pool and chasing the water hose. She needs the exercise and that helps her get
cooled off!
This pic is from the porch so you may have to zoom in to see her!
After
dinner, we went out again to the pool and then I went out to the shop and
cleaned it up a little. That gave Rylee a chance to run around the yard and dry
off a little before coming back in the house. We spent the rest of the evening watching tv
and relaxing until bedtime.
Sunday, July 19th, 2020…… I got up early again this morning and got
breakfast on the way to Walmart. I needed eggs and also bought a new winch for
the boat trailer. I decided not to take the old one apart since a new one is
only $32.00. The kids texted that they were on the coast, in Florence, and were
heading up to Newport and then over to Lebanon.
They showed up around 10:00am and we got the rv parked and hooked up.
They are planning on staying out there tonight. Sis came by and we all sat outside
and visited for a while. Cherrelyn is up in Portland with her son today, so we
all decided to go out and do a linner. We chose Pizza Schmizza, which is always
good. We got back and came in the house and rested and watched tv until
bedtime. Both Chuckie and Bella are getting along with Rylee, which makes us
all happy. I’ll take some pics for tomorrow.
