To Be Brought Up to Date With The News

SATURDAY
1-17-2015

Got up and was with Ben in bed. Hubby was downstairs on the couch sleeping. I came downstairs and covered up with a blanket on the couch. Then Maggie came down & hubby had to help her down with the flashlight.

KRN came down at 8:30.

I got up and started making breakfast. Hubby went downstairs to take a shower. The mixer exploded with eggs still mixing in it; they drained everywhere on the cabinet. I had a mess to clean up. Toweled it up, cleaned up with anti-biotic wipes. Started making another batch of scrambled eggs.

Hubby got done with his shower. KRN was ready to go. I got all the dogs fed. Hubby ran down to the shop with the Tan Dually. Some guy is coming between 11-3 to look at the dually for purchase.

So we got in the grey Dodge and drove to Athol. Picked up a latte for hubby. Then drove to the park. Talked to the Ranger to find out where trails are for walking at on the one side of the park. He said animals were prohibited on the ski trail. Walked on the ski/snowshoe trail. Did not break thru the snow & ice pack!

Drove down to Bayview to feed the ducks.On the way, hubby asked KRN if she had seen an eagle up close... and we drove by some scavengers picking at a dead deer on the road when a HUGE EAGLE flew up in front of the truck. We barely missed it by inches. The wingspan was wider than the truck!

Walked down the dock and saw a float home for sale at $189,000! Wow.

Came back by 11:00 and dropped KRN off, she took a bath, washed her hair again and got ready to go powerlifting. She left at 12:30.

The moose momma & baby got here at 11:30 and ate the food. Then they stayed here the rest of the afternoon. Laid down on the snow & slept.

Matt & Nichole came by at 1:00 and brought their lifted jeep. It is stick-shift. I got to test drive it down to Clagstone & back.

After they left, I came back and put away laundry. Moose still here.

Hubby told me to bring Jeep down to install new rock rails & take off running boards. Drove down to shop, but they had given him 2 left side rails. Stupid. We need to drive ALL the way over to Spokane again and return them.

Then we drove to garbage dump for shop garbage & then stopped off at Richie Cole's.

Hubby had me drive Jeep back to house. I put away more clothes. Made tea.

When it was 4:00, hubby came up to the house to get me so we could run into town & get transmission from K.Taylor. We took Bud & Ben with us in the Red Dually that was spewing anti-freeze.

It started snowing as we went into town.

I let the dogs out to play as hubby loaded the transmission. Then we drove over to Big R to get hay & straw for the moose, but they don't offer it there yet. So we bought dog food & a black ice scraper for the Jeep.

Stopped at Wendy's to get burgers for the dogs & then Qdoba for burritos. The dogs stayed in the truck for a few minutes while we ate inside.

We had to shovel snow off the decks because it had snowed about 2 inches. I took a hot bath & we went to bed around 10:30.
