That’s right, re-read yesterday’s post.
Pretty much the same except
Time to go home.
It has been such a busy day. 3 primary issues, plus several others thrown in for good measure. The primary issue I really want to finish did not get started until after closing time. 4 hours later, only got one of 3 remaining basins done. (There is actually a fourth, but it is almost built out and really needs no editing.)
I really wanted to contact both of the young-uns, but it is too late for the easternmost, and I want to have more brain acuity than I do right now anyway for either. I also want to contact my significant other as well, so he knows where I am and that I am on my way home.
Try for one more basin tomorrow, squeezed in amoung the First Aid & CPR class. We get trained every 2 years, and it is never at a convenient time. But maybe this means I would always find it an imposition, although I am thankful and grateful for the training. (The first thing I would do for you is to call 911.)
Time to head home.
Ok – I really know it is Sunday. I know the Super Bowl is today.
But, I did work yesterday. A full day. Got some stuff done, one full large, mostly unsewered sewer basin figured out, and re-edited two others where they came together. But, of course it was not as much as I hoped to accomplish.
Today we decided we were going to take a long walk. I was eating breakfast and Carl started on a little project. Going through the seemingly endless number of little jars and boxes that hold pens and pencils. While that was going on I decided to put the sheets back onto Rey’s bed. Both of these little chores conspired to delay the actual walk for about 2 hours. There were probably over 200 pens and pencils found. They have now been sorted, tested, about 40 disposed of and the rest categorized into receptacles by color and type (ball point, felt tip, gel, marker, highlighter, sharpie). The making of the bed required taking two boxes with some clothes off of the bed, folding the clothes, finding a drawer in which to put the clothes, rearranging some items on the dresser, throwing out certain items, arranging others, putting all Japan trip items together, putting remaining graduation stuff together, and on and on, and finally making the bed. Then moving the bass to a corner a bit more out of the way. (Rey would still recognize the room, and might actually see less of stuff that is not his in the room.) One thing we did find was a library book checked out by Rey in 2001. Amtraking. Used for a report on trains.
Speaking of Rey. Rey update: He made it to Tennessee Saturday, in one piece. There was snow in Kentucky, but apparently nothing too bad. He is into his new apartment with two others named Adam. That is all I know at this point. Job starts on Tuesday.
The walk. 4-3/4 Miles. Finally got out about 11:30. First stop, the library to return said library book. I thought we would take it in to the Librarians and have a good laugh. Of course, it turned out that the branch we went to was closed. It is always closed on Sundays. But in my mind it was Saturday. As Mark pointed out in the last entry, your weekend may have been half over, but my weekend was just starting. And the weekend starts with Saturday.
Next we went through the UW Campus. Saw a large bird, maybe an osprey or falcon, being harassed by sea gulls and crows. The large bird landed on the top of one of the U buildings with crenelations. The crows continued to take turns diving and cawing at the top until we were out of sight. Down the hill to the Burke-Gilman trail. Followed this for a bit, and then needed to go up hill again.
Chose to do the steps. To get back up from Lake Washington level to the University District plateau, you have to go up about 150 feet. There are several routes that can be taken. Follow a series of lower slope hills for a longer walk, follow some steeper roads for a bit shorter walk, or go straight up the side on steps. We chose the steps. 202 of them. We counted. Rey and I had done this a bit ago, but did not think to count.
Final bit of the walk was to stop at the grocery store, get a couple of cups of coffee, some dogs (Hebrew Nationals – no ifs ands or butts), a few other things and some 3-D glasses. I’m not sure why we got those, but it might be fun. We do plan to watch the game. But I can’t see 3-D. I am pretty sure you need to use both eyes, and I just don’t have that.
Enough for now – almost time for the game.
