I woke up a little before 8, played games, and then got up for pet stuff and breakfast. While eating I engaged in a long entertaining text thread with Hooch. The upshot was we decided to go up there today.
I loaded the bottles, garbage, and Martha's present into the car. We stopped at the club as we were leaving to buy some more ammo on sale. The drive up was fine. Strangely there was a lot more traffic southbound than there was northbound.
We talked fora while after we got to Hooch's place. Martha and Alicia are in Sun River. That leaves Hooch alone with Sophia. She was actually halfway sociable. Then we went to lunch at a "waffle sandwich" place in downtown Beaverton. It was pretty good. It's amazing how yuppiefied downtown Beaverton has become. Lots of restaurants, coffee shops and apartment houses.
When that was done we drove to a pinball place somewhere near the Hillsboro airport. Things have changed so much that I didn't recognize how we got there.
The place was amazing. I was filled with pinball machines and video games. It was play all you want for $20. There must have been 75 or more pinball machines, all of them in excellent shape. There were old video games and new ones.
The four of us started out play a 4 person shooter game. After that we split up. I went to the pinball games, they went to video games. We all ended up switching between the two for hours. I finally found Ellen and we got into a two person shooter game that you sat in. I was tired of standing. It was really fun, but I was pretty much timed out by the time we left at 5:30.
We drove back to Hooch's place. I fixed their wind chime with my brad nailer. Then we went to Jersey Mikes to get sandwiches. We took them back home and had dinner on the deck. By then it was almost 7:30, I was really tired, and we left.
The trip back was fast. Once I got on 217 I drove 10 to 15 over the limit the whole way. It was great.
When we got home I unloaded the car and then watched videos for a while before going to bed.
