A Good Day Today...

I had a pretty darn good day today. Breakfast was pancakes & eggs, then a long, hot shower, a Rockstar for the road, and off to town.
    First stop was Bill Jr.'s, where I fixed his bed and helped him find out why his bike was making strange sounds. It seems that his rear rim is slightly bent and each time it goes around it rubs on the brake pad. I'll try to get that fixed in the next couple of days.
   Next stop was at the place where I found my wifes' Christmas present. I have been searching high & low for this particular gift, because it is something that I know she will love and will use it every day of her life. After I found the gift, I had to figure out how to ship it, because it doesn't come "in a box" so I went to the U.P.S. store and they assured me that if I could get it to them, they would contain it and ship it!
   Then I attended a 12-step meeting in Kelso, just to keep my head on straight. After the meeting I headed back to Castle Rock where I found a very pleasant surprise in my mailbox. After depositing my "pleasant surprise" at the Credit Union in Castle Rock I went back over to the 2278 residence (moms' place) where I fed the cows & chickens & gathered the eggs.
   Finally I made it back to my place, where the green Dodge truck recieved a much needed washing. For dinner I put together an excellent pork roast that came from the pigs I raised last summer. Celery, onions, carrots, potatoes, garlic, some spices, and into the oven for just over an hour. Boy-Oh-Boy!!!! It was excellent!
   For evening entertainment I played Jeopardy on T.V. and am now watching a show about Sturgis and the Full Throttle Saloon. I think that when moms' estate business is all settled, I just might want a Harley...
