Friday AM, 01OCT, Corrie heads to dentist; after her return Dan takes ferry to help daughter Rebecca with the boys. Picks grandboys up at Y-kids to get them ready for jujitsu; after jujitsu everyone back to house for pizza. Saturday AM & till after lunch soccer for both boys. Rebecca takes Mason to game in Kingston, Dan takes Jaxson to local game. Back at house late lunch & then Dan hits road home (drives around Tacoma rather than take ferry). Back home mows half yard because rain returns tomorrow; not much else done.
Friday, 15OCT, Corrie feeling better and heads out for girl’s day with Jan Formisano; not much done during that day by Dan. Saturday nice weather Dan mows. Sunday Raymond returns from almost one year National Guard deployment in the Middle EastJ Monday, 18OCT, Dan picks up skis for the ski seasonJ; plus new gloves.
Saturday AM, 23OCT, on our way to east Bremerton for first visit with Pitres since Raymond’s return😊 Only one WSF running, two hour waitL Get off ferry and grab lunch to go from Grub Hut, good but pretty messy burger. At Rebecca & Raymond’s house time for a couple games of cribbage. Then dinner at Silver City Brewery & home & bed.
Sunday AM we head home, instead of taking Kingston/Edmonds ferry we decide to drive around via the Narrows bridge to I-5. We decided this because gusting winds (aka Bomb Cyclone) & driving rain forecasted which would mean rough ferry crossing or maybe even ferry runs cancelled? Lots of rain but drive ok & make it two hours; unpack & not much done. Monday happy b-day Corrie😊 (another day of Bomb Cyclone)
Wednesday, 27OCT, yard work & disconnecting drip irrigation
system for the winter; for dinner we head to small hidden restaurant in Duvall,
WA, Flavour Bistro (late b-day dinner for Corrie). Excellent Corrie went with the Kangaroo &
Dan went with the Wild Boar (pricey but two thumbs up)
Saturday, 30OCT, cold but nice sun. Take dogs for walk around Lake Tye. After lunch Dan tries to donate four bicycles collecting dust in the shop. Bikes in good mechanical shape but paint pretty much gone with surface rust that does not affect mechanics; also bikes do not have modern items like quick release wheels, center pull brakes, etc. Charity says no thanks, give them to goodwill (who probably will not fix them)? So now we will strip off all rubber/plastic & toss frames in metal bin at recyclingL
Sunday (halloween) another nice day lots of mowing. Our security system starts alarming(too bad instruction book doesn’t cover all the “critical info” to properly change a sensor battery); two hours wasted on the phone for what should have been a simple fix!
