Evening Panorama of the Wind Rivers

Got ready and gone for town by 8:30. It was a beautiful morning. I took all the recycling in to get rid of which amounted to quite a bit this time, and also a bag of stuff for the second hand store. Shoot, didn't get the second hand stuff dropped off so will have to do it another day. Nancy and Lois came to get me at the car repair and we drove on out to Kay's. I must have still been really wound up because I really rambled on there. But was so happy to be with the friends. We all worked on our art. Mine was a hard pastel drawing on pastel paper of horses in a river-side pasture. It was a lightweight medium to haul and didn't make much mess, but I didn't really like either the hard pastels or the paper. This was the first time I'd used this new set of hard pastels, called Conte crayons. The drawing wasn't too bad. Kay had a very nice lunch of chicken tenders with sauteed zucchini and apple Waldorf salad. There was also dessert, wine and raspberry tequila liquor, all very tasty.

Nancy dropped me back off to pick up the car. Imagine my surprise when the mechanic said the brakes were fine, and still had 3/4 of the pad left. He didn't specifically look for a damaged wheel bearing because he doesn't do that kind of work, but said the wheels also looked good to him and were solid. He said he also thought it was rocks in the hubcaps and said to take it to the car wash and use the power wash hose to flush out the hubcaps. I didn't have time for that and figured I could do that at home. So just went to the store and then on home.
