Road Trip

I headed out to Olympia this morning for a belated birthday lunch with Barry.  After a nice visit, we went to Dirty Dave's for pizza, I forgot the name of the pizza, but it was sure good!  Since we were on the same street as the hobby shop I asked Barry if he minded stopping there for a few minutes so I could get a new motor and gearbox for the little Champ.  Well, I thought he was going to leave there with a helicopter or a quad because he picked several up and studied them pretty close and then was fingering the one on the counter.  I mentioned that I had a Costco list for on the way home, and he said he could get a few things there also, so that was our next stop.  The picture is him going into the house with his box of a few things.  Their house sure looks a lot better with the tree gone.  We visited a little longer, then I headed home.  I took a short break at Centralia and stopped at my friend Bob's place, that turned into another nice visit.

I watched Thursday night football for a while, then we had a visit from Jeff and Tina.  I got to show off the new Champ and the nose gear doors to them.  As they were leaving, Jeff and I were talking about how nice the moon looked, I went out and took a couple of pictures after they left.  Just after they left, Michelle and James showed up, James was out for a stick shift lesson in the Maxima and delivering football cards.  They were in a great mood and told us all about the lesson.  James told me all about the cold laser treatment he is getting on his knee.  It was a busy day, but I sure enjoyed it!
