Awake: 7:13am Temp 62 sleep 7+15 sunny overnight @ Nicktown.

Kathy makes her special sourdough pancakes with all the trimmings for breakfast, & cleans up the dishes; my Father’s Day treat.

Skype with Ray for (52) min using our landline as an audio backup; included in our many multi-subjects was a “happy Father’s Day” wish to each other.

Shortly after that call, Katrina called from Jackson Hole, WY to wish me a “Happy Father’s day.” She is some (400) miles into her summer travel plans; visiting & spending (2) nights with friends in town.

Not too long after that call, Nick Skypes us & we both wish each other a “Happy Father’s Day.” Nick, Eriko & Jerry will be attending a Mariner’s baseball game today in Seattle & Jerry is all excited.

My brother Don calls from Maryland & we too, wish each other a “H-F-D.” Don tells us that he & Josie did a thorough clean up on their sailboat yesterday & are considering taking it out today for their first solo adventure.

We leave @ 1:00pm, drive to the Foote castle & join them in their car for a short trip to White’s Woods where we hike some of the trails. The Footes have done this before; it is a perfect place for all of us, including Miss Kinley, to get some casual exercise.

Back @ the Foote castle, I spend some time with Matthew on the 3rd floor playing with the Brio train set. Meanwhile, Kathy is spending time with Andrew downstairs.

Dinner with the Footes: several of the week’s leftovers.

Now that I have spare belts for Melissa’s Hoover Flair vacuum, I bring the vacuum along in the Suzuki to make the repair @ our motorhome….mainly because I have a few more handy tools to work with. We are back in Nicktown @ 7:00pm.

Zack calls shortly after we return & wishes me a “Happy Father’s Day.” We talk for about (50) min non-stop; Zack sounds good, busy, content, etc. He is on summer break from his masters program now.

I take the beater bar unit of the Flair vacuum apart, only to find the drive belt was not the problem; instead, the motor’s drive gear has moved about 3/8 of an inch on its shaft & consequently, the belt does not align on the drive gear. I’ll set this unit aside for now & think about what to do next.

We begin watching DVR movie: “Fury” but soon realize......we are both sleepy.

Lights out: 11:21pm
