Awake 7:15 am Temp Downtown=54 Cloudy 19 hrs 9 min of daylight
@ 11:12 am ..a shopping we will go. First to check out the " Sell4Free "
Real Estate business Gary & Rosemary told us about last week. It's located
in a small strip mall area next to Carrs on Northern Lights...about 15 min
from our house. After talking with the Broker, the deal is: You can sell
your house for free if you are buying another house through them. Thanks
but no thanks.
Then to Costco where Kathy stocks up on food for this 4th of July weekend
when Nick, the Footes & Katrina will be visiting. At Costco Kathy finds a
large bag of frozen blueberries(which Costco rarely carries) so we make an
unscheduled trip back to the house to keep our frozen goodies frozen.
Then we continue our shopping @ Carrs @ Sears Mall where we run into Joe
the Irishman. We haven't seen him for over 1.5 yrs. He looks great for a
guy over 72. Kathy does more grocery shopping while I return the 2 videos
we watched Tues & Wed.
Next we drive South & East for 15 min to visit my ole buddy John. He
invites us in for some tasty smoked salmon. Then he tells me about his
plan: He will add insurance on his 1976 Ford 250 truck, let me drive it
back to our house where I will load up my oak wood collection, and at my
leasure, return the truck back to his workshop. At that time, I will
probably start constructing a new flower box for our house.
Kathy & I visit Tom, the Vacu-maid repairman of Anchorage. Just 10 min
from where John lives so we take care of this problem while we're in the
neighborhood. The electrical plug on the hose for our central vacuum
cleaner has frayed & failed...and Tom has the new updated parts to bring
it back to life.
Then I drive John's truck back to our house..Kathy drives the Rav 4 to
visit Melissa & Matthew(not home) & do a little more shopping @ Fred
Meyers before she drives home.
John's truck has a tailgate problem. The end rod that releases the latch
mechanism for opening the tailgate on one side has slipped off the handle
assembly. He's been trying to fix it himself or have somebody else solve
this problem without success. It took 15 min to solve the problem &
another 30 min to fix it...so I got lucky. Later this evening I called
John to relay the good news...he was delighted.
Dinner: BIG hamburger patty(no bun), fresh salad & bing cherries.
Some computer browsing & reading late evening. Lights out: 11:28 pm
