I woke up at 7:15 and played games for a while. I got up for pet stuff and breakfast a little before 8. By then it was time to got to the dentist. We left at 8:25 for a 9:20 appointment.
The trip up was a disaster. We ran into a 2 mile traffic jam south of Aurora. It was caused by the construction at the exit and the three sections of a modular home that was being hauled next to us. It didn't look like we would make the appointment. The traffic jam continued after the exit just because people were idiots. It speeded up some before the rest stop and then slowed down again until past Wilsonville.
There was another jam on 217 north of Greenburg. Fortunately we got off there and went up Hall. We were less than 10 minutes late. It was close.
I spent the next 90+ minutes at the coffee shop playing games. When Ellen was done we went over to Tammies. We bought some figurines for the kids and a charger cable for me. We had lunch at the honey ham place and then went to John and Patty's.
We spent hours talking interspersed with surfing and baseball. Patty fixed a great dinner. After that we talked a lot more. Better yet, the Dodgers won.
The ride home was another disaster. We were VERY low on fuel due to the traffic jam. I planned on fueling up at Wilsonville, but it was closed. The station on 99 was supposed to be open until 10, but it was closed too. I'll have to fill up tomorrow. We have maybe 4 to 5 gallons in the tank. That's the lowest I've run any vehicle ever that I can remember.
When we got home we surfed a while and then went to bed.
