Wednesday, May 26th., 2021…... Had a really restful night last
night! It was surreal lying in bed
trying to turn off and shut down. But I eventually did and woke up very relaxed
after a great night’s sleep!
Weather is iffy today for mowing.
There are great big clouds around a blue sky for a few hours, then it turns
dark and grey. If it doesn’t rain, I will go out and mow because the grass is
really getting thick these days! I did manage to get a couple of pieces for the
shelf addition cut and painted and installed. More to do on that tomorrow.
Ok, it’s later now. The sun has
come out and actually it’s getting warm!
Cathye volunteered to help and came over and I fired up the Craftsman
Pro mower and she set out to work on the field grass while I continued to mow
the lawn. I had let it get too long again and I kept the blade cut at 2 1/2“, so
I had some issues with too much grass clogging up the system. We ended up
making two runs to the recycling place but it went quickly with Cathye helping
me. After I was done with the lawn I went out to the field and helped her out
there. I gave her a turn on the zero turn and she wouldn’t get off! But she sure looks good on it!
After we were done, we cleaned up and I took Cathye to The Point for dinner. We had a very nice meal and went back home to relax. It was a long day! Later, she stayed and we sat together (which was super fun for me!) and watched the finale of The Masked Singer. I am proud to say that I correctly guessed all three of the finalists! Spoiler Alert! I’m sure everyone has seen the show by this posting but if you haven’t, don’t read any of the blue type below! I am proud to say that I correctly guessed all of the three finalists! The third-place winner was The Chameleon who was Wiz Khalifa. Second place was The Swan which was JoJo. The winner was The Piglet who was Nick Lachey. This was also the order that I hoped they would finish in! Counting the ten original contestants, the four wild cards and Clue Dle-Doo, I got nine out of fifteen! That was way better than I thought I would do. Of course, I only got those that I either knew their voices or made some way out guesses if I didn’t. I used the clues they gave and listened to the judges on one or two of them. Still not too bad!
Thursday, May 27th., 2021…… The rains came as promised today,
although we didn’t get too much here. Still, I was glad we mowed! Today Cathye had some items to take care of so
I met her over at her trailer late in the morning. The contractor was there and
he went over a few things. Our assignment was to go pick out paint colors,
backsplash, countertops, and floor coverings. So, we drove over to Albany and
hit Home Depot (where he gets a contractor discount) and found pretty much
everything. She then headed home and I rested for a few hours then set out to
finish the install on the under supports for my shelves. I ate my leftovers and
settled in to watch tv for the rest of the evening.
Friday, May 28th., 2021……
Good weather is back! They say we
can expect to hit the 80s by the holiday weekend! The plan today was to go get a
large shelving unit from the trailer and bring to my rv garage. That way, when
she needs/wants to store anything that won’t fit in the mobile home, it will be
here. There is also a list of things she wants to bring here for me/us to use.
There is a large supply of milled lumber and steel pipes and angle iron that I
can always use. Better at my house than the scrap yard! We are also going to
store her two garden tractors and her little Shasta travel trailer here. I just
needed to know that which gives me a reason to look into ordering another
carport for my property. Now I will have something to put in it! I went over
and we went through the stuff and made a plan for tomorrow. Besides the estate
team and Ron, the radio guy, her grandson Corey, and Eric, will be here to work
on projects on her list as well. I went home and she went on to Eugene to pick
up a friend who is here to visit her mom in the mobile home park. I went over
later to the trailer later and met her and we visited for a bit then loaded the
shelving unit into my truck. After it was in my garage, she went on home and I
hung around the house and then made a light dinner and watched tv until
bedtime.
Saturday, May 29th., 2021…… Today I was up and out early. I
had Rylee walked and then went out and got breakfast. I made a run to the store
and then went over to Cathye’s to work for the day. She is still trying to get
things sorted out to be priced for the estate sale. She plans on having the
radio guys (and their spouses) come out to a special sale so getting those out and
sorted and priced was the plan for today. The estate team had three people
there plus Ron, who is the radiohead and knows all about that stuff. I assigned
myself to him and we went straight to the car garage. Our job was to find and pull out all of the
tubes. We moved boxes and boxes of every type of radio part you can think of (knobs,
capacitors, transformers, etc. etc.) around and I think the final count on the
boxes and cases of tubes was 33. These are important because there are some of
these tubes that will sell for over $200.00 each! This is a pic after we got
most everything sorted and moved out.
Meanwhile, the other crew was sorting and pricing all of the other items and getting them staged. Corey and Eric worked in the yard and helped move things around. Did I mention she has a forklift! She is lucky that there are seven outbuildings on the property so things can be spaced out and sorted for folks to see. Still, it’s a big job! I left after my task was completed and came home to take care of butthead. I also took some Aleve and rested after the workout! Tomorrow will be more of the same, just with the two of us though.
