We got up a little before 8. We just felt like it. After pet stuff, breakfast, and a little surfing I went out to the garage. I searched out some wire and hooks so that I could attach them to the fram we bought for John and Patty's print. Now it's ready to hang. I also went into the trailer and hng up the little road runner miniature that I bought a while back.
When I was done I knocked on the apartment door and asked John if he wanted to go to an estate sale. He said he would after he finished the brakes on Isaac's van. Then we could meet Isaac at the sale.
Finishing the brake job was a fiasco. One of the pads just wouldn't go in. After much time and effort John realized that he had installed one wrong pad in the wheel yesterday. That meant reassembling the one we were working on, disassembling the one that was "finished", switching the pads, assembling that wheel, disassembling the second wheel, and finally finishing the second wheel. It took hours.
When we were finished John took the van for a test drive while I had lunch. When he got back he, Ellen, and I took it to the estate sale. Melissa stayed home. She's still really sick. The sale was near Covert. The garage stuff was all over priced. The one thing I wanted was sold. We didn't buy anything.
After the sale we went to a bar near there. We ordered drinks and some food and waited for Isaac to show up. When they did we talked for awhile, ate and drank.
Going home was a disaster. We were bucking 4:40 Friday traffic. It cost $6.50 to take the express lane, and it was clogged up. We got off downtown and drove to 1st street. That must have taken 15 or 20 minutes. 1st street was busy, but we mad OK time on it.
We got on 290 and went over to the jewelry store to pick up Ellen's earrings. We also stopped at the post office and CVS on the way home. Ellen offered to fix John and Melissa dinner, but they declined. We ate leftovers.
About 7 Wells Fargo called to say that there had been a fraud alert on the credit card. I called them and fought with their phone tree until I finally got a person. They said I had to go to a branch and show picture id to find out what happened and resolve it.
The rest of the evening was surfing, while Ellen watched skating.
