Deer, Stitches and Blazer

2-19-2023 

While I was eating breakfast at the computer I noticed four deer on the security camera by the heat pump.  They were eating some  of the flowers out there but they didn't like the succulents because they just pulled them out and dropped them after a taste.

This morning there was a deer laying down in the yard on the other side of the house.  I had to wait for it to stand up before taking a picture as it was right inline with the solar lights and I couldn't get a clear picture of it's head.

Both Vera and I had appointments today at 2:40, Vera's was at Kaiser and mine was at Pacific Surgical.  I dropped Vera off a couple of minutes early and I was able to drive over to mine with plenty of time to spare.  I was ten minutes early but as soon as I stepped off the elevator I was called.  They pulled the stitches out today and boy did it feel good to have matching shoes on.  We decided to eat while we were in town and ended up at Arby's for their Market Fresh sandwiches.  Just as we finished eating I got a call from the guy who wanted to buy the Blazer.  He was in Longview as well and wanted to know if it was a good time to pick it up.  I said sure we were just planning on heading home.

He got there about ten minutes after we did and paid for it.  He got it running and drove it onto the roll back wrecker.

This is how it looked as he pulled out of the yard.  We had it for a long time and it gave us good service so we were a little sad to see it go but I didn't feel like working on it.  He has two sons who are about ready to get their drivers license so it will be put to good use.  I spent the rest of the day getting used to matching shoes.

Since then we got about an inch of snow on the 22nd.  We have had a couple of visits from James.  I repaired the shop's pellet stove, it had a bad igniter.  I made a slight change in the way the gutter guards were mounted so we wouldn't get a drip right in front of the door.  I also added wireless smoke alarms to the shop so we can hear in the house if there is a problem out there.  I haven't neglected the helicopter, I fly it every chance I get.
