Woke up at leisure — left the house at 8:30am to catch the ferry. Of chance it would be the 8:55am, missed it by half a dozen cars, but was already expecting the 10am ferry.

Good trip to the island. Great dinner with Lynne, Sue, and Don — makes me almost want to keep the place. Emailed Whitaker about bus stuff, and MoonSong about putting in some footers and a shower floor. Next time it goes on the market it will have a shower and a lot less stuff in it (hence, the pictures from yesterday).

Got back to the city after MoonSong left for the day — at 85 degrees he came early, and left early — and I don’t blame him. Spent the afternoon boxing up dying headphones for the Bose Replacement Program, writing a couple letters, booze shopping, and yet, more planning for that Grand Canyon trip. Got confirmation WhiteWater will be around a week before the trip so I can swing by and get last minute advice on packing — or what should I leave in the car! The trip is working out to 3783 miles on the van — of which I don’t have to drive 315 of those — the shuttle service will be doing that — I’ll be doing “alternate” transportation — i.e. rafting.

Here is the map of the trip:

Long trip. Tonight I was hoping for dinner with Jonathan, but he’s throwing oil into his turbo unit (OK, his car is) and is without wheels and stuck in *gasp* Issaquah. He *might* make Wednesday dinner with Darcie and Jeanne.

Me — I’m having a steak, some spinach, and some red wine.
