Awake: 6:50am In the city---2 inches of snow Overnight @ Anchorage, AK
Kathy makes coffee in the condo kitchen before we drive across town.
@ the Alaska Club, by coincidence, John M. arrives while we are signing up
to enter the club. He encourages me to come up to his office ASAP as he
has a busy day scheduled & can only see me NOW. In his office I negotiate
for a fair term membership during our intended stay....& John kinda
feels...that will work. I pay him $50.00 cash & we shake on it. This will
cover both K & I. I thank John, go to the locker room, change clothes &
who do I see upstairs but my ole workout buddy, Kenny S. In lieu of just
standing
around & catching up on our lives, we walk around the running track for at
least an hour. Then we go our separate ways for the weight machines,
treadmils, etc.
Later after a hot shower, Kenny, Kathy & I meet upstairs in the cafe area
& talk some more. We are hungry so K & I leave for lunch @ Cafe Amsterdam
off of Benson Blvd where we share a bowl of soup & a tuna sandwich.
Next we do some light shopping @ the Costco store on Dimond Blvd, return
to the condo & before we know it....it's Mooses Tooth time again. The
place is busy so I get us each a beer & Kathy finds seats in the waiting
room. She also picks up the Anchorage Press which has a good circulation
throughout the city. Before we left Nicktown I had called The Anchorage
Press to advertize our Kubota Tractor with accessories for sale in ANC.
The new home owner agreed to use the tractor with accessories on the
condition that he would store the tractor in the garage until we were able
to return & sell it. Now we are reading the advertized "heavy equipment"
AD & it looks good. Woody, who purchased our home, has been notified that
we would be in Anchorage during this time & to expect a few phone calls
from us should there be some interested parties.
When our hand held device lights up & vibrates, we report to the front
counter to be seated. Dan is there....he's been with Mooses Tooth since
it's inception & now he's married & they are expecting their first child
in October.
The salad, pizza & beer were great as usual. We're gonna miss this place
when we leave. After a quick stop @ Wal-Mart, we return to the condo.
Lights out: 11:08pm
