Up early — blame daylight savings time.
Things to clean, things to put away, stuff to do… oh, like drive to Olympia and pick up my old inflatable hot tub (and a PT 4×4). It was good to see Mel and actually spend some time with her soon to be husband (I’m providing the honeymoon cabana in Mexico next March). Lots of time on the highway, but the traffic was light and the weather good.
Oh, and packing for Orland (I leave in the morning).
Oh, and getting some a little work in since I didnt’ do any yesterday since I was pushing the limits of my two week bill.
And, it’s Raf’s birthday so I’m doing Southern cooking for his birthday, though I’m not sure how the Gruet Rose champagne goes with that. The menu?
- Black-eyed peas with ham hocks
- Spinach greens with apple wood smoked bacon
- Cornbread muffins with peppers from my deck
It was pretty good — all that’s left is some muffins.
Not looking forward to the morning… out of the house at 6am which means up at 5am. I don’t think Raf is looking forward to it either.

Guess the stack of New Yorker’s will hold until your return. Enjoy!
