Just a day of getting lots of things done… like additional birthday plans. The list is now:

• Seattle to Vancouver on the train with Dancing Bear
• Vancouver to San Pedro on the Carnival Spirit with Dancing Bear in a suite
• Long Beach to Seattle on the plane with Dancing Bear
• A couple of days later a Frequent Flier ticket to Santa Fe
• My actual birthday at the Dia Foundation’s Lightening Field site
• Fly back to Seattle
• Pick up Joe from Tucson the next day and check us into the Camlin Penthouse suite
• Return Joe to the airport following Monday
• Following Saturday fly to Tucson to celebrate Joe’s birthday
• Return following Tuesday.

Once again I’ve managed to turn my birthday (55) into a several week occasion. Out of pocket? Less than a grand.

And dinner — just a small steak:

And then onto getting the new wall mount for the TV as the stereo equipment stack keeps getting bigger and cutting off part of the screen when I swing it to watch from bed.

As you can see, to boost it up to bolt it I’ve got it stacked on a bunch of stuff. No wonder the installation instructions say to use two people.

But it’s all done. Now all I have to do is redo the table top making it longer. Might even move the bar to the living room in a final attempt to find a place where it works.
