This morning Steve and Jan made their final preparations to head north. Steve designed and built a clever PVC bike rack that sits atop the truck box, and they fastened their new bikes in securely. Then they hitched up their Challenger to their shiny new GMC pickup. We waved goodbye and wished them safe travels as they headed up to Choke Canyon.
We danced to Darryl this afternoon. There were eight squares on the floor. It was Jean's last dance. She will rise very early in the morning and plans to drive 900 miles tomorrow.
After the dance we stopped at Home Depot, where we bought a good leaf rake, a new toilet seat, and some tree fertilizer stakes for the citrus trees and the palm tree. Being property owners requires some work. When we got home we borrowed our neighbor Chuck's pressure washer. Chuck not only lent us the washer--he also brought over a large pail of soapy water and gave me some quick lessons in pressure washing techniques. Meanwhile Ken was applying cleaner/conditioner to the tonneau cover. It got dark before the pressure washing was done, so we have plenty of work ahead.
We watched a Nature program called "Cold Warriors: Wolves and Buffalo." It was amazing.
