Saturday, December 12th, 2020…… No rain
today. I was showered and dressed and had butthead out and walked and fed
before 7:30am. I heard from Janie yesterday that Rick was suffering symptoms of
covid 19. I didn’t sleep too well last night. She called and said he was given
an infusion and released so that was great to hear! I made myself some breakfast and then went on
Facebook Marketplace to answer an ad I saw for a car trailer. I am looking for
one big enough to haul the zero turn, which the other trailer won’t do because
it’s not quite wide enough. I hung around the house but didn’t hear back from
the guy until after 1:30pm. Since he’s in Merlin, which is almost a 3-hr. drive
from me, I couldn’t go today. He’s not available tomorrow but says I can come
during the week ‘after 4:00ish’. So today was shot. But at least I could go to
the bank and get the cash out. I drove over to my BofA in Corvallis only to find
they close at 1:00pm. My fault – I didn’t check their Saturday hours online. No
worries, I go to Corvallis on Monday for acupuncture so I can swing by then. I got back home and rested and watched
football and did some work on my spreadsheets for next year’s aces. Later, I
fixed myself some dinner and settled in for the evening.
Sunday, December 13th, 2020…… More rain coming again today. It was 45º this morning. A little cold but not too bad since I had nothing planned for today and didn’t need to be outside. I had monkey butt out and back before it started sprinkling. I also had time to go out and get breakfast and coffee and get back when it was still dry. When it did rain, it was barely sprinkling. I went out to the shop and changed out the trailer hitch for my truck in anticipation of going tomorrow to look at and possibly buy that trailer. I sent a message to him later in the day but didn’t hear back until late in the evening. He wasn’t available tomorrow but he said his wife could show it to me. So, I made arrangements to be there around 1:00pm to meet her.
Monday, December 14th, 2020…… I have an acupuncture appointment this morning so I was up early and had Rylee walked and fed. I left and headed over to Corvallis and was there in plenty of time. After that, I went to McDonalds and got breakfast and then went to the BofA parking lot, waiting for them to open at 9:30am. I got in and out in a few minutes and was on my way south. Merlin is in southern Oregon and 180 miles south of me, so the drive was long! I timed it so that I would be there around 12:30pm and called Jessica and made arrangements to get in to her property. They had a nice piece of property with horses and a new workshop. Also, they had a nice new trailer sitting there. The old one was up for sale and was actually very nice. He had done some additional work on it, adding a rail around the sides which I liked and would work for me. But it was probably a little big for my needs and I had another one in my mind that I wanted to also look at, so I passed on this one.
So, I drove the 180 miles back home, emptyhanded. Oh well, it was a nice drive. When I got home, I fed Rylee and rested for a while, then had dinner and watched tv. I found that other trailer on Marketplace and messaged the guy and made arrangements to go see it tomorrow. He is in Sheridan, which is only about 58 miles from me, so that would be an easy drive!
Tuesday, December 15th, 2020…… Again, I was up early and got all of my stuff done. Penny came over with Quincy and she left her with Rylee and I left to go get on the road. I set up the meeting for 10:00am. I stopped and got coffee and a breakfast roll and made it right on time. This was another nice trailer! Problem was it was not quite wide enough between the fenders for my zero turn to fit! Bummer!
