Reminiscing the Olden Days

The Dogs Love to Have Company Too - They are a Pack

.

Loading The Truck

Today was another round of visiting, about like yesterday. Everyone had been taking lots of walks which the dogs loved. Debbie vacuumed for me and everyone helped out with meals etc. Gig worked more on the computer. And he put on my keyboard drawer on the new desk which I have procrastinated doing for so long. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP, GIG!! It was decided there were three options for the fate of the computer, take it to the repairman in Pinedale to see if it needed the network card and pay to have him install it, take it back to Best Buy on our trip and ask for my money back, or ask Best Buy to repair it on the warranty and deliver it back to me (which by now I held no hope for that to happen).

Gig and Janet were going to leave in the afternoon. - Gig had been sent by his company for a job in California near where they had lived. They were taking a truckload of their things from storage in California- where it had been stored for the last 3 years or so - back to their new home in Texas. They had unloaded it all into Joe's shop so they could use their truck up at Big Sandy and now had to reload it all, and hook up a small motorcycle trailer they had also brought and left here. (Gig races motorcycles, or used to.) But when they had packed up their stuff and were ready to leave they found out their battery was dead. They had left one of those plug-into-the lighter-socket refrigerators plugged in overnight. Joe was able to recharge the battery. So they didn't get away until after dinner. I made some different kinds of homemade pizzas and salad for dinner with watermelon for dessert. By then the battery was charged up and they took off. Janet called the next day and said they had gotten as far as Craig CO before they got a motel. And probably got to Austin the next day. They are long distance driving champions.

Well.....at some point in all this hullabulloo, Beverly came and asked for the plunger and said the toilet wasn't flushing down like it should. When Joe saw the plunger and wanted to know what it was for he knew the septic system was on big time overload with so many using the facilities.
