He broke his collarbone on our bike ride last night. We were coming down 84 and his rear wheel locked up and over he went. He pretty much slammed his shoulder into the pavement, broke the entire right side of his helmet and almost got run over by a car afterwards.
but he’s okay now. I would tease him a bit more, but he isn’t quite pleased with himself like I was when I broke my collarbone. Too bad, since he needs a good ribbing.
heh. onward I suppose!
I am with Mom and will shop for a F150 at Washougal. She is the one like truck. I can not quite figure it out. Here comes the cowgirl – Rena, driving a truck.
Still not cast in stone. Mom probably will be in Denver for a temp job (3-6 months) with the same per diem and 1/3 higher hourly rates as mine. After that, she is eligible to have un-employment payments with WA for 6 months. Those payments remain effective until we are 65 and 7 months for 6 months. Still, it has a lot of time & ??? in between. See what will happen.
I have a prospect in Charlotte, NC with 3 months as a temp and, later, becomes permanent. It is iff right now. But, first, be hired first.
We will look houses in both places and do some math before doing anything. Denver with comparative lower market values and close to Rockies probably is more suitable place. Don’t know.
Ted’s here for the latter half of the week. We are not doing much really except hanging out at bookstores, coffeeshops, etc…
tho tonight we are going to see if Ted’s high altittude training in Denver will allow him to beat me cycling up a mountain at the lower elevations. Basically I should kick his ass, since he’s fat now – he weighs almost as much as I do now. laff.
I suppose if I lose, well, then that’ll be pretty sad.
of course. I biked in today, and my legs aren’t feeling very good. Also today we had our 3rd group BBQ since I’ve been here and sausage and hamburger right before a ride probably isn’t hte best… laff.
oh well.
Well, we are seriously looking for a F150, XL, SuperCab, 40/20/40 Front Seat, 6.5 Box, 4×4, 4.6L V8 & Trailer Tow.
Mom has two prospects, one in Thailand as a perm, one in Denver as a temp.
Today was the day of meetings. 10:30-12. 1-2. 2-3. Nice. Now I actually get a breather to sit at my desk for a moment. wow.
I got an email from Doris’ friend Stella Ota. We’re trying to arrange lunch, but it doesn’t look like that will happen until August 18th. Laff.
Ted’s coming to town today before heading down to his fellowship in LA for the year. I don’t know what we’re going to be doing, but it will be something fun and most definitely not lame – like sitting around and playing video games.
Our last tot time at Avalon View Apartments.
The whole gang (Tara, Ethan, Dawn-Marie, Caleb, Ormere and Sammy) all working on a sticker project.
