Another adventure

I was woken up by the phone this morning, by the time I got there it went to the answering machine.  It was Marie and she left a kind of strange message.  While I was telling Vera about it she called again and I let Vera get it since she hears better than I do.  It turned out Marie needed some supplies, I checked and Walmart opened at six so we got dressed and headed that way.  We got everything she needed and I took this picture as I filled up with gas in Kelso.  It looked like it was going to be a good day for a little trip.  The traffic was light all the way to Centralia, we dropped off the supplies, visited for a while and headed home.  I picked up a milkshake at the Sonic drive thru and we took Jackson Hwy home.  I think I could count on one hand the number of cars we met, it was a very relaxing drive home.

It was so nice out that we washed and vacuumed out the Mitsubishi this afternoon, there is very little rain in the forecast for a few days so it should stay clean.  I did a little work on the Skylane, shaping the second wing tip is going much faster.  I went out to fly one of the small helicopters and it turned out the wind was blowing a little stronger than I thought it was.  I ended up parking it in one of our rhododendrons with only minor damage.
