Day 959

We were up at 7 today, did the pet stuff and had breakfast, put the laundry in the car, and were out the door before 8.  We were done with the wash a little after 9.

We drove to Hooch's house first.  I did the pond.  Ellen got the mail and emptied the milk they left in the refrigerator.  Then we went to see Mom.

Mom was ready when we got there.  I looked at the bills and cleaned the cat box.  Then we left for "Pirate Park".  I thought it was a dog park, but it was a kids park with an amazing collection of play equipment.  It was overrun with mothers and their kids.  We walked a little past it, which was a mistake.  They way back was an uphill and Mom got tired.  She had to sit and rest halfway up.

When we got back to the car we went to a restaurant at 185th and West Union.  We'd never been there.  It was good, and had Breakpoint IPA.  There was a nice place outside in the shade for us to eat with the dog.

It was only a little after noon when we finished.  So I drove over to the window tinting place and made an appointment to get the car's windows tinted.  I warned Mom it would be boring, but she wanted to go.  Then it was take Mom home even though it was a little early.  I called about a pending bill that came in the mail.  Hooch had already paid it.  Then we left.

We got as far as Freddies on 217 before Ellen's asshole forced a stop.  We were there for quite awhile.  It was 2:30 before we were back on the road.  By that time 217 and I5 were slow.  We stopped at Wilsonville for fuel and at the post office.  I decided we needed strawberries, so we drove to Jone's.  Finally we got home a little before 4.

It was in the upper 80's, so we just stayed inside for the rest of the afternoon.  I read, Ellen watched TV.

Dinner was left over Chinese.  There's some left, but I'm going to throw it out.  I developed stomach pains and diarrhea about an hour after dinner.  I still did my walk, but it was at a slower speed.

The rest of the evening was TV and surfing.
