We got up at 6:15 this morning to take Mom to the airport. The traffic was a little lighter than when I took Ellen. That might have been because we were maybe 5 or 10 minutes earlier. She got off OK, and apparently made it to Portland.
After we left her off, we went to Denny's for breakfast. Then we went over to the dam that I discovered the day Ellen left. We walked across the dam. It was interesting to see what the rive looks like below the dam. It's wide, but not very deep. Lucy got in some retrieves in the little park by the dam. We had to remove a bunch of stickers from her legs when she was finished.
After that we walked upriver a little on the lake path. We walked around the power plant that they are dismantling. The wall around the power plant is covered with graffiti. Some of it is pretty good quality artwork. Beyond the power plant is a set of baseball fields. We didn't go any farther than that.
Across from the fields were three beautifully restored houses. We struck up a conversation with the builder that was doing the restoration. He also owns the property. When he's finished with these, he's retiring to Buda. He's sick of dealing with the 26 neighborhood organizations in the area. I don't blame him.
After that we went home. There was nothing on ebay today. I soldered a whole lot of leads, but I didn't feel like installing them. I was going to spray tomorrow, but it's supposed to rain and be windy.
