Today was AWESOME! After feeding the cows & chickens I took the red Dodge in to Audio Express for a new Alpine sound system. I left the truck there and went up to Dutch Savages' place to help with the work party that was going on up there to clean up from the last windstorm. Almost every square inch of his place was covered with limbs, blown-down trees, and other debris. By the time I arrived a fire was already going and folks were "hard at it" with rakes and wheelbarrows. I did mostly chain saw work for a couple of hours and by the time I left it looked much better. I went in and spoke with Dutch for a while. He is getting better, hurting a lot, but not really caring due to heavy morphine medication.
When I returned to Longview the truck was ready and I drove out to Fred G. Meyers' where I found the coolest machine I have seen in a long time. They have a machine that you pour your loose coins into and it counts them and gives you a voucher for cash! Well, I was prepared for this as I had brought along 3 quart jars that I had which were 3/4 full of coins from my pockets over the last few years. Mostly pennies & nickels since when Tammy worked at the jewelry store she would take my quarters to use in the pop machine. Still, I ended up with about $120.00 from that darn machine! So I took my voucher and bought some new CD's to play in the red Dodge on that new Alpine stereo system. I came away a very happy camper and enjoyed my drive home.
Tomorrow I get a Les Greene haircut so I know it will be a good day!
