Friday August 8
Hubs got off work early and raced home so we could bike ride again. It was a wonderfully, sunny day. We decided to go down Lake CDA Drive. Isabelle ran a ways with us and then we returned her to the truck so we could ride further. My bike was still experiencing quite a lot of up-n-down wobble, so we dropped it off to fix at the bike repair store. We had an hour to waste, so we went to the movies in Post Falls. Saw The Dark Knight. B-O-R-I-N-G movie.
This movie was so boring that we left early. Thoroughly disgusted at the plot; threat, rescue, threat, rescue, threat, rescue. Over and over and over again.
By the time the movie finished, it was too late to pick up my bike, so home we went.
Saturday August 9
Up early this morning, got lattes, then went into town so hubby could pick up a part from Lee Sixt. Then went to pick up my bike- -which started out costing $20 for a repair and escalated to $68 that i
ncluded $48 for a brand new wheel and $20 for installation. Highway robbery. We will be going to the Sandpoint repair shop from now on. CDA likes to inflate their prices on everything. Pretentious.
Picked up more cherries & peaches at the next-door fruit stand. The lady that runs the place is nice, so we chatted with her for a while. We also went to Rite-Aid to pick up some Bert's Bees lip gloss for me.
My bike was riding super smooth, so we biked the Centennial Trail around Riverstone Development – the people around there are NOT nice. The walkers & bikers that passed us were rude, bikers failed to indicate they were passing. Walkers were walking on the wrong side of the asphalt trail. Almost everyone that we greeted “hi” refused to even speak to us. Again, the pretentious, rude CDAs.
Simple friendliness – maybe even a smile. It was disappointing to us that people are so scared or mean - we decided that we will not be riding that trail again.
Isabelle ran over 2 miles with us. She was totally worn out & while hub made his way back slowly with her, I raced back on my bike to refill the water bottle at the restrooms. Finally got the truck & met them half/way back.
Greg got a pizza at Domino’s because he saw a sign out in front of their building advertising a Large pizza for $4.99. He said that the cardboard probably tasted better than the pizza. We found a nice park in Hayden and had a great picnic with Isabelle. She ate dog cookies, I had a banana & apple, Greg had the pizza.
On the way home, we stopped to see the progress on Chachi’s shop. He was supposed to be getting the doors installed – but he had too many parts. Couldn’t figure it out. We talked about helping on Sunday, but they invited us to the Fairchild Air Show instead.
Sunday August 10
Joanie & Chachi arrived at 9AM to pick us up. Unfortunately, Isabelle had to stay at home today. Poor dog. I talked (threatened) Chachi into stopping at Starbuck’s on the way for lattes.
Got to Fairchild AirForce Base at 10AM and were just in time to walk in for opening ceremonies. Saw C-31 with Full Jumpers; L-39 Aerobatic Act; UH-60 CSAR Demo; C-17 Demo; PT17 Stearmen Demo; F-15 Demo; Hang Gliders; X-300 Aerobatic Act; Mig 17/A26 Dog Fight & FlyBys; KC-135 Demo; F-22/F-15/P-51 Heritage Flight; Cascade Warbirds FlyBys; T-33 Aerobatic Act; F-18/C13 Blue Angels & Fat Albert Aerobatic Acts.

It was a wonderful day. The clouds were out, it was windy, spots of sunshine shone thru, and there were some raindrops. Some of the plane engines shook your body, we got to feel & listen to some "buzz" flybys that shocked the audience. Even tho the weather was threatening, we got to tour some planes; talk to Air Force personnel; and see a great Air Show for FREE!
Also saw Matt Z, his wife Nichole, & her sister at the show.
It took over 1 1/2 hours to exit the parking lot as there were so many cars leaving at once. Saw Rachel Kegley as we exited - Greg was looking closely at all the servicepersons as we exited - we were "thanking" each one for their service. He shouted out to one girl..."is THAT a Kegley?" - she came running over to the car and talked to us. Quite a sweet kid.
Joanie & Chachi were hungry - we stopped at PF Chang's China Bistro to eat dinner. Ordered yummy Lettuce Wraps for appetizers - Chachi had Mongolian Beef, Joanie had Cantonese Scallops, I had Sweet and Sour Chicken; Greg ordered Kung-Pao Shrimp but the waitress messed up and brought Kung Pao Chicken. Hubby was nice and didn't make her take it back or complain. But I thought that it was odd that she didn't adjust the price to comp it or at least attempt to bring out his shrimp as she admitted it was her fault. Oh, well.
Got home at 9PM in time to watch the latest Law & Order-Criminal Intent and that dumb show- In Plain Sight.
Tired. Sore. Windburnt face. Took bath & went to bed.

I LOVE Burts Bees lip balm... though my boys tell me I'm "stanky" when I wear it. So it's my kiss repellent. ;) (don't want to be slobbered on by a sticky 4 year old? a little bees wax on my smacker does the trick.. just sayin'. Use this for good or evil)
and yuuuuum. PF Changs. I so miss the city.
