It will be a short trip but will be nice to see the relatives and folks I met on my first trip there. Steve will be staying longer so he can visit his cousin in Minnesota, an 8 hour drive.

North Dakota Bound
The good news is the end of September I'll be taking my second trip to North Dakota with the Husted family. The bad news is it is for a hometown memorial for Steve's mom.
It will be a short trip but will be nice to see the relatives and folks I met on my first trip there. Steve will be staying longer so he can visit his cousin in Minnesota, an 8 hour drive.

Rocking the To Do List
This week I'm getting shit done! Finally got the garage door fixed yesterday after so long. Can't say enough about the company - professional, friendly, and efficient. Tim the tech guy even videoed what the door needed, reviewed it with me, then proceeded. With the door fixed, I have no excuse than to start cleaning the garage.
Today I've taken the car for its regular oil change and maintenance check. Plus they are giving it a wash which it badly needed with all the smoky air ash on it.
As of yesterday so happy I could put in my contact. The acrid air was getting old!
Next to do is to call Maytag to get a check up on my washer which appears to be leaking.

Fire All Around
There are currently a ton of fires burning which have brought smoky skies and ash to my neighborhood. So sad to see my beloved Gorge on fire! I've been forced to be in my house as the outside air is wreaking havoc on my allergies and especially my eyes! For the last three days my eyes have been red, sore, and weepy! Not fun!

Bacon and Burning Air
Yesterday and today the air had been thick with hazy burning smoke. Absolutely driving my eyes crazy! Had to resort to benydryl to get some relief. That medicine works wonders with just a wee side effect of putting me into a coma. At one point I'm watching Heaven Can Wait, the next it is 4 hours later and I'm clawing my way out of a deep slumber.
On top of that, this morning cooked bacon was on the menu and tonight steak for dinner, which means the house is enrobed in a meat aroma.
On the occasion of the holiday, I was able to watch the movie Labor Day with Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin. Passable flick.
Here's hoping Tuesday brings clean air both outside and in my house!!

Super Saturday
Yesterday was pretty full. First stop was the video shop where I picked up several used movies. They always have good classics available.
Following that, returned home, picked up Steve, snagged Sam at his place, then out to lunch at the Cow Deli. Tummies full, we swung by Jordan's to say hi then made our way to Woodland to look at a truck for Sam.
Good thing Steve was with us as he knew the good, the bad, and the ugly about used vehicles. This one was a potential ugly involving the transmission so we thanked the kid and left.
Dropped Sam off then hit Bob's to browse. After my recent trips to the river, I've been so hankering to go fishing. Love wandering down a rocky river path in search of the right hole. Therefore, picked up a new pole, some spinners, and my license so I'll be able to cast out to my hearts content.
Relaxed at home before snagging a pizza and heading up to Lynn's for the evening. Watched movies (or rather ignored movies as we chatted) then returned home for a good night's sleep.
And now it's Sunday! Filed my unemployment claim and thinking about what adventures the day will bring. As long as it's sunny and warm I'm a happy camper!!
Wore my new tee belong I picked up for $5 at Penneys. Love it!!

The Crazies Are Out in Full Force
You think you've made a clean break with people and then they pop up and continue the crazy.
Emoji Man texted me the other day out of the blue to see if I'd go out again. Give it up! Text deleted with no response.
Then some gal named April sent me a Facebook message going on and on about how awful Michael, the last guy I dated, was and to warn me about him. Hello??? Haven't heard or spoken to him in 6 weeks. And why are you sending me messages?
She seemed to know quite a bit about our relationship so I bantered back and forth with her for a bit. Then it became clear she was blessed with the psycho gene so tried to sign off with a "good luck in the future" comment. Unfortunately that didn't stop the conversation as she went on and on and on. Ignoring her messages finally stopped more from coming through.
Lynn says I'm a crazy magnet and I'm beginning to believe this, especially when people don't get the hint that I'm done!! Gonna scrub my forehead extra hard today to rid it of the flashing Welcome Crazies sign!!

Happy Birthday Steve!
Friday evening was a great time. For his birthday Steve went salmon fishing with his guide buddy and family in Astoria. Came back with two large catches.
Friday night we met up with my friends Stan and Susan at Parker's for a birthday dinner. Food was awesome like always, especially since I had a cheat meal including mojito (super strong), seafood fondue with baguette bread, and fettucine!
Steve wore a Polo Shirt I gave him as a gift and it looked great. He's realizing he needs to get with the times and Carhart shirt with suspenders are not a universal outfit. Poor thing focused on his rapidly thinning hair. All he needs is a tan on his head; I offered to rub instant tan lotion on his bald pate but he politely declined. 😊
Today looks to be fabulous outside. Need to get the oil changed in the car then we will be out browsing to find Steve some new pants. I'm proud of him for making changes to better himself.
