Friday, April 16th., 2021……
I was up early this morning and showered and was ready to go out with
the monster doggie. But sis came over with Quincy so I let her out to play with
them.
We fed them and then she took Q
home. I hung around the house for a bit then went to Albany. Today I was
needing to go to Walmart so I stopped at the Albany location. I hit their
fishing department and bought a few things and then went to Fred Meyer looking
for more artwork, and also at folding step ladders. Sis got one at her last
yard sale and it is still here. I like it and I want one like it, except I want
a four-step, and I want it made from aluminum. Found one but now I need to check
online and compare prices to see if they are cheaper there. I got back home and
Butch and Penny were there. They had come over to shoot the shotgun again and
were just finishing up when I got home. We visited a while and then they headed
out. I came back in the house and got
back with Dominique (via text) and we decided I will go to her home and pick
her up to go to breakfast. She has a window of time because she has some kids
coming to help her box some stuff later on Saturday. She has to move a bunch of
stuff out of her house temporarily so that an electrician can do some work.
She’s trying to buy this house from the owner but it’s in bad shape and the
lady is only wanting to fix a few items out of her pocket and still wants more
than it’s worth. Problem is, houses are now going to bidding wars so they will
sell for up to $50k more than asking. She is trying to work something out and
will do the work herself IF the price is right. Later, I spent some time on
Match. I have been communicating with a lady from Albany, for a few days now.
It’s going well and we will probably be meeting up in the next week for coffee
or breakfast. We’ll see. Meanwhile, there are a few others that I have heard
from that I haven’t got back to yet. I need to decide how to proceed with
this….
Saturday, April 17th., 2021…… I was up early from a text ‘like’ from someone
on Match. But I needed to be up and moving anyway because I wanted to be on the
road south by 7:30am. I walked and fed Rylee and headed out for my day. I got
to Dominique’s house a few minutes early and she was outside with her dog when
I pulled up. She invited me to join
their walk around the block then she put her pet in the house and we drove to
Prairie Schooner. We both had the
chicken fried steak and she enjoyed it. After that, on the way home, we drove
over to Lowe’s so she could pick up some boxes and tape. I took her home and then headed back home
myself. I had to let Rylee out and then came in and rested for a while. I didn’t have anything else planned for today
so I just worked on my blog, which I was behind on, and then watched motocross
and Nascar races and then IndyCar qualifying for the rest of the day. I had ham
and cheese and crackers for a light dinner and tapioca for dessert and I was
good for the day!
Sunday, April 18th., 2021…… More races today, so I didn’t
plan anything. Typical Sunday. I did have a text conversation with my lady friend in Albany and we
are meeting for breakfast tomorrow in Albany. More on that later…
I wanted to work on my fishing
tackle bag so I did that in front of the tv. That was about it for the day and
the evening.
Monday, April 19th., 2021…... This morning I was out early with Rylee. We did our lap and I got her fed. The plan today changed from breakfast to dinner. Same place – Roger’s. So, I had the morning and afternoon free. I knew that last evening so I made arrangements to drive to Gladstone (outskirts of Portland – about 95 miles from me) to look at a Delta surface planer I saw last night on Facebook Marketplace and inquired about. We set a 10:00am meet and I headed up early, given the morning traffic. Turns out it was a lack of traffic, so I had time to stop at the 7-11 and get a soft drink before driving to his place. I ended up buying it, and also got a mounting plate thrown in as well. It runs strong so I’ll be curious to see how well it works.
