Day 639

We got up about 8 to do the pet stuff and have breakfast.  Then it was a short surfing session before leaving for ortland.  We had haircut appointments at 11 and I wanted to get my new glasses before then.   Just before I left I called about Mom's bill.  I got a hold of someone that told me it had been paid.  I said thanks.

That caused a late start, but we made great time - 70+ on I5, 65+ through Tualitin, and 60+ up 217.  Ellen left me off at the front of the hospital to save more time.  My new glasses are nice, but they will take some getting used to.  The close vision area is much smaller.  That makes reading and the computer harder.  Far vision outside is much better.  I don't have to turn my head as much to see things.

We got back for haircuts in time.  I went to Costco while Ellen was getting her's cut and bought some water  After the haircuts we stopped at a Thai place on 99 and had lunch.  It was pretty good, and the spring rolls were great.

I drove back to Beaverton and stopped at the Porsche dealer.  The Macon is nice and reasonably priced.  Then we went across the parking lot to Audi.  Their equivalent has a much better set of features at a slightly lower price.  Then we looked at the S4.  It's fantastic.  All the new electronic gadgets are great.  It has more power than we need, so we'd probably get an optioned up A4.

By then it was after 2 and time to go home.  We stopped at Wally World for groceries and TP.  The last stop was the post office where part of the parts for the Ranger radio build were in.

When we got home we got the 5-stand controller and shot the tower at the 5-stand.  It was fun.  We found some pairs that were big boy pairs.  Then we shot some targets at a couple of stands that gave us trouble yesterday.

We got home after 6.  We had dinner and Ellen started watching chick flicks.  They are having a Christmas marathon - in July.  I went out to the shed to work on the timer for the radio.  I got sidetracked shorting hardware and spent a lot of time on it.  Then I spent more time trying to fit the timer onto the boxes mounting holes, which didn't match.  I finally pulled my head out and decided to mount it on a separate plate.  By then it was 10, so I cut out the plate and called it quits.

The last thing I did was my exercises.
