Awake: 6:34 Temp 34 sleep 6+42 sunny overnight @ Englewood, CO.
K & I had a small breakfast before meeting T.C. @ the No-No Café @ 11:20am. T.C.'s wife, Claudette, is in Kansas visiting her mother who is celebrating her 91st birthday.
T.C. is retired from FedEx now & enjoying his lifestyle; he is no slouch however, as he helps his neighbors, friends, family in whatever & whenever they need his expertise.
We gabbed & ate until around 12:54pm; that's when Katrina called & told us she was on her way from the airport & would be home soon. We said our goodbyes for now to T.C. & hope that we can squeeze in another rendezvous with him & Claudette before leaving town.
Arriving from Hawaii, Katrina looks a bit tired but chipper after her all night flight. She had a great time on the island of Kauai, where she & her friend, Lisel, stayed with Lisel's uncle who is a full time resident.
Katrina reported that he was quite the host, having days itineraries laid out & breakfast waiting for them when they awoke (he was at work by then). They got to kayak & snorkel, admire the scenery via their rented car, & participate in a Luau. They were disappointed that due to trade winds they were unable to surf or take a planned on boat trip with dolphins swimming around the boat. But all in all, they had a great time - a time which went much too quickly.
We helped Katrina eat some delicious pineapple that she brought back & tried some fresh, but tasteless coconut. Then, we discussed the work-camp program for Katrina & her list of things for us to accomplish.
Using Katrina's computer, & our cell phone, we sought out several bike hoists around town & checked their prices. Next, we went shopping @ Super Target: for (4) bike hoists & other miscellany. Then Home Depot for a ladder, caulking & caulking gun & electrical outlets, push-pull shower knob ring, & electrical switches.
To buy or not to buy, that is the question?
After unloading the stash of equipment into her condo, suddenly, hunger set in; fortunately Katrina had a mental list of (3-4) pizzerias in the local areas. Unfortunately, (3) of the (4) were either closed for the night or out of business.
The good side of this was: we had a nice tour of southeast Denver metro, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, the Park Meadows Shopping Center etc. until darkness set in & then finally, we found California Pizza Kitchen in Lone Tree. Happily, it was still open!
Kathy & I shared a Fat Tire draft beer & we all shared a 1/2 Waldorf salad (very good) & a thin crust vegetarian pizza (also very good).
Then we return to her condo for a short visit & back to our home-on-wheels for the night. We watch our political programs & Jeopardy but no movie.
Lights out: 12:55am.
