Monday, July 20th, 2020…… Today we needed to take care of some business.
I needed to get Randy on my bank account so I called BofA and got an
appointment. We also needed to fill out a request for change on the credit
union account in SoCal. They are allowing me to just complete the form and scan
and email it to them. We took care of that this morning. Then we headed off to
the hardware store to get some more stainless fasteners and navy blue spray
paint for the trailer fenders. On the way, I wanted to stop by Cascade Outdoor
Power Equip. and check on the zero-turn mower and maybe buy it. I had seen that they had moved it from where I
previously saw it but when I asked, they said someone had come in the next
day and bought it. They would look into getting another one and would call me.
Bummer! Here's what I am looking at:
We got back and worked on the trailer some more. I got the first and
second coats of navy blue on the fenders. Looks good. Dinner tonight was at Dos Arbolitos. On the
way into the restaurant, we saw some wild turkeys just hanging out under a
shady tree.
We had a nice meal and
headed back home to visit and rest and sat outside in the evening shade until it
got dark and we went in and called it a night.
Tuesday, July 21st, 2020……
This morning I made us all bacon and eggs for breakfast. After cleaning
up, Randy and I headed off to Corvallis to the bank and got that business done.
Then I drove us down toward Eugene, stopping at Tractor Supply to see what they
had in Cub Cadet inventory. They only had the ZT1 (I want the ZT2) but David, the
manager, is going to try to order one for me. He checked and they don’t have
the ZT2 in a 54” size, so I opted for the 60” model. He will be contacting me
if he can get that one going. Then we
left and went to the La-Z-Boy showroom in Eugene. I am looking to replace Lydia’s
new La-Z-Boy recliner, which I bought her this past Christmas. It’s just too
small for me when I use her room to watch tv.
Sis wants it so we will work it out. But the showroom in Eugene didn’t have
anything that I was willing to buy today. I plan to check the Salem store when
I get time. We got back on the road and got home a while later and came in to the air-conditioned house to rest. Weather is in the high 80s this week. I
got a call today from Cascade Outdoor. Angela, one of the owners, has already
got the order placed for the ZT2. It is $3899. everywhere and I also have a
triple bagger catcher on order. She said it would be 7-10 days. So, now I have a conundrum – the 60” at Tractor
Supply is $4199. BUT, I can get my
military discount (10%), which brings it down below Cascade’s price – and this
is for a larger model. I want to buy local and support the businesses here in
town, but for the price I’m going with TSC. But - I haven’t heard back from him yet
so I don’t know if he can even get the tractor or not so all of this is up in
the air at this time. But I’ll figure it out.
We decided
to do a ‘linner’ tonight and we chose The Growler which was really good.
Wednesday, July 22nd, 2020…… HAPPY ANNIVERSARY RANDY and MARYANNE! I’m so glad they chose to be here
to celebrate it with me! We started the
day out with Maryanne and Randy heading off to Corvallis to drop Maryanne at
the athletic center for a swim. On Monday, they had ridden their bikes up the big hill by
me house here and had met some locals who they spent some time with. The
lady invited her to the pool today so Randy drove and then went around the area
for an hour or so to wait. Meanwhile, Penny and I mowed the lawn here. We got
that wrapped up and they got back and we all rested in the shade. They have
been fans of Coburg Pizza from their past trips up here, so they wanted to do
that for their anniversary. Cherrelyn is working late hours so just the four of
us went to dinner. Forgot pics inside, but I took this photo of the sign outside that shows
us redneck farmers can practice social distancing too!
Once we
got back home, we settled in to watch the sun set. Penny went home brought Cherrelyn
back about 6:30 and we all had a great time sitting outside and visiting. Of
course, we had to keep Rylee happy and, in her pool, to keep cool. Chuckles and
Bella don’t much want to go in the water but Rylee will just lay in it. We sat
out until it got dark and the girls went home. I watched tv until bedtime. Fun
day!
