Day 654

We got up at 7:30 today.  Actually I got up at 7:45 because I didn't hear the alarm.  After pet stuff and breakfast we hit the road.  Lucy stayed home because it was going to be in the 90's today.

We were done with the wash by 10 or so.  I went to the bank and put the Ranger title in the safe deposit box while the washing was being done.  I called Mom while the clothes were drying.  She didn't answer.  I called her again about 20 minutes later as we were leaving and she answered.

We stopped at Hooch's place and did the chores there.  It was nice to not have to fuck with the pond.  Then it was off to Mom's place.

When we got there Mom was complaining about the blinds not working.  It turned out to be operator error.  I showed her how to do it, I hope she remembers.  We also tried to convince her to give up girdles.  We threw one away, but she was wearing the other one.  I hope she got the message, but I wouldn't bet on it.

We took her to a Chinese place for lunch.  That will be the last time.  She only ate half her lunch, which means she doesn't like Chinese food.

The next stop was the Columbia outlet store.  She didn't find anything she wanted to buy, but out found about $200 worth of stuff.  It included 2 pairs of pants with smaller sizes.  The ones I have now are getting too big.

The last stop was the bank to get her new credit car enabled.  We tried to do it over the phone, but something screwed up and it locked us out.

It was 3 and Mom was really tired by then.  We took her home.  Then it was time to face traffic.  217 and I5 by Tualatin both had accidents.  I took 158th, Murray, Allen, and Hall to 217 and stopped at the Best Buy there.  Their website said they had a computer I wanted in stock.  They didn't.  After that we took Hall down to Durham, then Boone's Ferry to I5.  We got back on just after the backup, so it was clear sailing.  We stopped at Fry's to look at computers, but they didn't have any that interested me.

After a stop at the post office we got home.  It was after 6 and in the low 90's, so we just sat in the trailer, had dinner, and surfed.  About 8 I went out and walked around the course.  I did the last three minutes at a really fast walk to make up for not exercising.

The rest of the evening was more surfing.
