Friday AM, 01MAR, Corrie packs up Fiesta and heads to Rebecca’s
and grandboys to help out while Raymond is deployed with National Guard. Dan stays home to dogsit. We are splitting up because one grandson,
Jaxson, has a soccer game on the east side of Puget Sound (pics below); and the other
grandson, Mason on the west
Saturday at noon Dan joins Rebecca to watch Jaxson’s game; then home to continue dogsitting. Sunday around lunch time Corrie returns.
Tuesday, 05MAR, beautiful weather; outdoor yard maintenance and mowing. Wednesday AM Dan heads off to his first skiing day at Stevens Pass of the season. Corrie continues PT for repaired rotator cuff. Dan lasts about three hours of non-challenging trails before his legs are completely shot😊
Thursday great sunny
day; outside chores and getting ready for tomorrows drive to Rebecca &
grandboys. Friday AM in the truck and
off to Rebecca. Not that we need any
excuse to visit but this weekend revolves around grandsons’ sporting
events. Saturday, 09MAR, is all day wrestling
tournament for Jaxson, and Saturday afternoon is soccer game for Mason. After our arrival Corrie starts working on
the back yard while we wait for everyone to get home from school and work. Evening is jui jitsu for Mason, then take out
dinner from Pop-Up.
Saturday early AM Corrie, Rebecca & Jaxson off to wrestling tournament. Unfortunately Jaxson loses two of three matches (to the first & second place finishers). Not bad for first year middle school wrestler. Dan takes Mason to soccer game played in miserable weather alternating between, hail, driving rain, sunshine and gale force winds. Right at half time winds in excess of 40 mph, dime size hail, driving rain and lighting forces everyone to run for their cars and head home. Mason and Dan first part of drive was miserable; back at Silverdale house in time for home-made pizza from Oma and Rebecca.
Sunday AM, 10MAR,
cinnamon rolls for breakfast, pack up the truck and drive home. Decide to drove home thru Tacoma to avoid bad
weather on ferry crossing. Monday not
much done; and Tuesday not much done other than trying to install Brit Box on TV.
Wednesday sun returns, outdoor chores. Thursday great sunny day; Dan goes skiing after medical appointment; Corrie runs errands. Dan mows after dinner.
Friday another great day. Dan has follow-up medical on “sore leg issues”; picks up repaired ski and heads to Silverdale to help Rebecca. Saturday work off and on with installing new dining room light. Rebecca and Dan then head to Jaxson’s soccer game.
Sunday, 17MAR, excellent sunny day. Rebecca, Dan, and boys head out after breakfast for a little fishing at Island Lake and then Kitsap Lake. From Kitsap Lake Dan drives home to Corrie and dogs to unpack and do some mowing. Seattle breaks record for high temp.
Monday another record breaking day in Seattle. Corrie and Rocket head to Rebecca’s. Dan heads Stevens Pass ski area. Great spring skiing and almost no one there; after many years of self-taught skiing, Dan even pays for private lesson. Tuesday another gorgeous day; Corrie gets Rocket trimmed late afternoon and heads home.
Friday AM, 22MAR, Dan heads to
Rebecca’s to help over the weekend. After
leaving ferry he stops at Denny’s in Poulsbo to have coffee with CG Academy
Classmate Dave MacKenzie; great time before getting to house. Later Dan heads to Jiu Jitsu gym to pick up
boys and back to their house for dinner.
Saturday late morning Dan takes Jaxson to his soccer game at Starfire soccer complex where Dan has been many times for both boy’s games. After game meal at Mickie D’s; then back to Silverdale to relax. Sunday AM after breakfast hits the road to drive back to Sultan via Tacoma; sun comes out after lunch so Dan mows.
Monday, 25MAR, not much
done, but at night Dan posts our tractor implements for sale on Craigs List. Tuesday AM Dan gets call from unknown cell phone
number. Dan would normally not answer
but does and discovers someone two hours away wants the stuff at advertised
price. Early afternoon deal is done and
the buyer may even be interested in tractor and wood chipper later!
Wednesday Dan starts preparing RV for next camping trip. Thursday, 28MAR, Dan meets up with some CG Academy Classmates for mini reunion lunch at Pier 88 Boiling Seafood & Bar. Then home for more work on RV; last luncheon was 25JAN.
