Today I am 33 years old. Many things have happened since my last news item, most notably Dave came and went. We always have projects available for him to do while he's out here, if he feels up to them. This time was finishing the windows. Since he has mad drywall skillz I watched as he put the finishing touches on the windows. Then we ripped out our old deck and built a new one. That was a little more work than I signed up for, but I am quite pleased with the result. We had a deck party and invited all our friends.
The fourth was uneventful around our house. With Molly's birthday being the third, we did our hanging out and barbequing Saturday at the Nelson's. The rest of the weekend was yard work and tidying.
Post a comment wishing Molly and me happy birthdays.

Today is Roger and Shelly's anniversary. I think it's their 6th. You may remember Roger and Shelly from previous news items doing such things as moving to Washington and moving from Washington. Post a comment wishing Roger and Shelly a happy anniversary.

My truck leaks. I just put in a new radiator to replace the leaky radiator and I thought that would cure the leak. I wouldn't have noticed the puddle except the rain finally stopped. The puddle wasn't very large and is gone today so it seems the leak only occurs as the engine is cooling. I don't know; I haven't had any time to look at it.
The weekend was full of rain and not much else. I feel bad for David mostly because it's too wet to play outside, and he gets cabin fever being cooped up inside all day. We drove to Leavenworth on Saturday and enjoyed lunch and some sunshine. It's amazing how different the weather can be on the other side of 7,000 foot mountains. Sunday we dined at the Nelson's for dinner and Monday Kate worked while David and I hung out.
In case you haven't heard, Roger and Shelly are moving to southern California. Roger got a job down there which will afford Shelly the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom. If you think of anything they might need for the trip or the new location, don't buy it; they have too much stuff already. Well, maybe buy it and ship is to my dad's house; he can store it until they arrive.
Other than the items listed in the above paragraphs, not much is going on around here. Post a comment aoubt what is going on in your area.

new radiator --

Ever since I replaced my head gaskets in December, my truck has been leaking coolant. I discovered I nicked my radiator several times. This past weekend I installed a new radiator and flushed my coolant system. So far, no leaks. I think I may take the truck to a shop and have them flush and fill the coolant as well, since the shop will have access to better chemicals than I. The check engine light still comes on every time I drive, but the truck is getting back to its pre breakdown state.
This weekend was also softball. We forfeited, again, but the other team lent us players and we managed a good scrimmage. Roger hit a home run, not becase the ball went over the fence, but because he ran fast.
