Serious heat in the West.<\/p>\n<p>Update on &#8220;Stuff&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Monday &#8211; &#8211; Phyllis, Audrey, Suzanne, and I finished looking at all the stuff in the hay shed \u2013 including the few clean &#038; boxed clothes in the travel trailer. Suzanne stayed in EBRG and came back Tuesday AM. Phyllis did also \u2013 about half the kitchen got cleaned out and cleaned. Astounding.<br \/>\nI will carry a partial load over to The Winery (intermediate stop prior to Goodwill) next Thursday. Cameron has scheduled a bottling of Ros\u00e9 of Syrah that morning.<br \/>\nWhen Kathy and Janelle come for the horse things, hay, and a rocking chair, that shed will be nearly empty. There is some metal junk therein, but lots more of that elsewhere \u2013 just needs to be carted off.<br \/>\nThe travel trailer will soon be gone.<br \/>\nOddly, neither the Warren County (PA) nor the local historical society have responded to by inquiry of &#8220;do you want?&#8221;<br \/>\nI tried to get the old Pace Arrow hauled off, with any proceeds going to the NPR station in Seattle. This required a long phone interview with a lady at &#8216;car easy dot com&#8217; and me sending photos. Someone determined it wasn&#8217;t worth their involvement.<br \/>\nI took 2 chairs to the end of the driveway, with a &#8220;Free&#8221; sign attached. They are from a dinning room set that Nancy&#8217;s mother had. They are sound, but not pretty. One way or another, they will soon be gone.<\/p>\n<p>With the dumpster about 65% filled, I called the company for a pickup date. Earliest I can schedule is Monday the 16th. Moral: there is a lot of junk in Kittitas County. Anyway, now there is no big rush to get it full.<br \/>\nI dismantled a big stuffed chair. Springs went into the metal pile, some became hardwood fire material, and except for the decorative &#8220;wolf &#038; moon&#8221; [4 colors in Naugahyde], the rest is in the dumpster. Most of my projects are &#8220;in progress&#8221;, but the chair is finished.  There must be a name for the decoration on the chair, but what it might be eludes my search.<\/p>\n<p>I was somewhat worried about the three horses, especially Jazz, going to new homes. Worrying is useless, I guess. I&#8217;ll end with photos Kathy sent with her and Liz riding the most excitable (maybe untrusting is a better word) of the three. He is taking to his new role well.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Jazz-and-his-new-lady-friends.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"540\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12219\" srcset=\"http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Jazz-and-his-new-lady-friends.jpg 656w, http:\/\/rocknponderosa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Jazz-and-his-new-lady-friends-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From the Naneum Fan<br \/>\nJohn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thursday: cooler = mid 80s, Friday high was 83; wind gust made 46 mph; exact same on Saturday smoke, gone Next Thursday summer returns!
