I had to take extra sets of keys to the truck dealer in Union Gap. Round trip 100 miles. And from there I retrieved the cargo-cover for the Crosstrek. It was in the Forester, along with the one that was supposed to be there.<br \/>\nThe local lumber and tool place had a Milwaukee Day. That&#8217;s a tool company. I bought a combo kit with 2 battery powered tools \u2013 a drill and an impact driver (bursts of power when it feels resistance). I need to dismantle an old pickup camper. Why?<br \/>\nI have a 30 cu. yd. dumpster arriving Monday, and help coming Tuesday. The camper (not used since about 2001) has hundreds of fasteners (mostly screws with various heads). Snow, rain, and time have made a mess of it.<br \/>\nThe door, windows, attachments, inside panels, heater, icebox \u2013 all need removed. In reverse mode, the impact driver is the right tool and there is a kit with 32 different heads. So, started today. Not finished.<br \/>\nThe remodel of the south wall of the living room started. It will soon have a French door (and more) opening on a covered deck. The siding has been removed and the rest started, but there is a bit of electrical work needed before more is done. Part of the electrical things got done Friday, to be finished Monday.<br \/>\nI signed a Power of Attorney for the CPA so he can contact the IRS as my agent and get the information he needs to complete tax filings. I did a little landscaping (rock and dirt moving) \u2013 mostly because I need the physical activity. I ordered a Leer canopy for the truck. The company has a glass supply problem, so I won&#8217;t get the canopy until September. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/F-150-Combo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"957\" height=\"311\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12143\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/F-150-Combo.jpg 957w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/F-150-Combo-300x97.jpg 300w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/F-150-Combo-768x250.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><br \/>\nThe right-side image is a close look-alike. That truck has back seats and a shorter bed.<br \/>\nI took Almond beverage, Fisherman&#8217;s Friends throat lozenges, eye drops and a few other things to the Kittitas food pantry. These things were all purchased just before Nancy&#8217;s decline. Now gone. So 1 completion.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t stopped looking to see where the horses are. After 11 years of expecting a visual fix each morning, or just coming in the driveway, the habit is still there. <\/p>\n<p>There is a storm in the Pacific, off of Oregon and Washington. It is coming ashore late Saturday evening \u2013 Sunday morning. <\/p>\n<p>From the Naneum Fan<br \/>\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This has been a busy but not an exciting week.
