I woke up early and started final prep for leaving Portland. My plane was about 430 so I use the morning to do laundry, take down the storm windows, prep the lawnmower, finish some of the tree fertilizing and of course pack… About an hour before Tim was going to come and pick me up to take me to the airport I got a call from Gabe and then call from Diane. We all got on the phone together and discuss the coming weeks weather in Portland. We have been scheduled to put up the scaffolding on Monday… Unfortunately it was a week of hard rain coming. We did some excellent brainstorming and calendar work decided that it would make more sense to push the project out exactly one week. I was able to contact the scaffolding contractor and change my flight in in a matter of 30 minutes we had made a new plan. It was a little bit of whiplash because I have been all set to go out there and have been missing Diane and was looking forward to seeing Gabe , his GF sam and GameStop nova… But I’ve now got my mental calendar settled.…

That gave me an unplanned day off… It was actually kind of good as I’m still feeling a little achy from the Covid booster… Nothing a good nap Couldn’t help… I worked around the house got some time in one electronics project I was working on… And then around six Went up to see Tim and ‘Jen for a lovely meal and a nice hang out and I know it wasn’t the day I was expecting… But a nice day all the same

It looks like I now have a bonus week where I can really catch up on a Couple of projects at work

Still missing the family though… Can’t wait to see them

Nite all, nite sam
